that's what they told me when mental health called me last week, or my therapist rather, and after ten years of takeing all their dam meds that took all kinds of time off my liver and all the horendous side effect's i put up with over the years, and them telling me over and over that i had to make trade off, 's and them giveing me meds like Depacote that one of the side effects cause's liver deaease, i tried not to take it more than once but they convinced me i would die or be in a mental hospital, so now after two years of not being able to take any mental health meds due to liver failure, and ipisse them off by calling the patient rights advocate about my thearpist behaveior while i was hospitlized, she called an yelled at me saying i was rude to her and being very inaproperate and about the fact that my records are false, and the next thing i know i no longer qualifiy for their services now, they said that they missed diagnosed me and i don;t see a their dr and will not take meds which is not true i CAN"T TAKE THE MEDS, and i didn't need them in the frist place as i as diagnosed with Addisons desease, and i talked to my DR and they told me it was been known to mimic bipolar disorder, so after all this BS and year's of being in and out of mental hospitals from here to colarado, where's the justice? the funny thing is when i was sick and in the hospital, i had an Addison crisis, which can be fatal, and they upped my meds that i take for it, and i was better, but it looked just like bipolar, the moodswing;s are huge, but just a little more steriod of pridnazone and it went right away, my thearpist while i was ging thur it said i should go on anidepressants for it, i guess she didn't listen when the DR told her it was hormonal not mental!!!!! she will never learn, so they wnat to get rid of me for stirring the pot up, they told me today i could make a rebulttle in my records disclaiming what what the Dr said. whaich is a huge lie , so now what do i do for thearpy and i need it to vent or eles everyone suffers from my actions, i don't have the hormone to handle stress the seriods work but only so well and i get frustated alot and need to get all of it out in the open so i don't blow up over small shit, but for the last 2 year my thearpy has sucked aSS, all we do is fight and yell at eachother, she agrees that we have some kind of dynamic that in the way, yeah, she lie's and will not stand up for me an she let me down repeatedly, by just not doing her job and trying to get me to leave my partner cause she didn;t like her well it's visa versa their, anyway i feel betaryed and i had my thepist in place for a couple of reason's she is a drug and alcohol theapist, and i figuerd if i missed a red flag she wold see it. ihave to be sick now see ya endlesssky:partysmile:

I can feel your pain with this issue, for the last 2 years i was going to mental health and getting nowhere, the medication they kept prescirbing made me horribly sick n twice ass likely to go off on someone as when I use mmj. The therapist made me take a drug test which is policy when you start mental health an then proceeded to slander my choice of medication (mmj) I tried to explain to her that is was the only thing that had been helping me. Still got treated like some kind of drug addict. They also tried to tell me that it was everything in my life causing my depression and bipolar issues, she told me to leave me fiance and all kinds of things when he is the only person who is really there for me an puts up with it on matter what kind of mood i am having.. So after she gave me this last presciption which really i thought was going to kill me due to the terrible side effects( nausea, hot n cold sweats, dehydration, etc) I said enough is enough and I got me mmj license an am now searching an finding different strains, edibles etc which truly make me feel like myself and have helped combat my illness.

It seems like all these problems are all too common! And they aren't being dealt with in the correct way! I too have had lots problems with medications and incorrect diagnosis (infact the first time I was put on prozac it sent me into a psychotic manic state, and it was the lowest dose!), and my psychiatrist had ignored all the obvious signs. All the time I hear my psychiatrist contridicting himself and I really just don't listen anymore, I just go for the klonopin, so when I need it, I have it. Of course the benzo's also created addiction problems. Like above, after all these meds and knowing how MJ had always effected me somewhat different then others I felt it was time to get one of these "reccs", and I've been feeling much better since then. I too have had plenty of therapist who even after a few years together just seemed to almost treat me like crap just because I brought up the idea of MMJ with them, to get a professionals opinion. Honestly, if not for the internet I'd probably still be getting pumped full of psychoactive meds. I hope you receive proper treatment for your new diagnosis and recover As for wrong-doings from all these medications shoved down our throats, I wish there was a larger group of advocates talking about this kind of stuff, and helping get compensation (payback for all those damned prescriptions and damage they caused) from those BIGPHARMA Corp$$. Fuck all those medications that made me even more depressed and gave me more panic attacks than before. And thank well...just thank MMJ for existing and the great community of REAL people fighting the good fight.

I hope one day these people realize how much control they have over our lives

i am totally with you, the drugs they gave us had to realy do damage, they gave me a script just before i got my mmj rec for this pill called abilify, sure you have seeen the commercial, my fiance was ready to take me to the emergency room not more than 30minutes after i took it, I started to sweat an then got chills, began vommitting etc, temperature was skyrocketing, really terrible experience. So when i told my dr, she looked at me as if i were lying to her copped an attituted an says wellll let's try this an proceeded to toss me some new meds. How about I am not a guinea pig an while yes i understand trial an error how many errors should they make while we continue to suffer. I think mental health as a profession is a scam, the best way to treat any condition (which doesnt require surgery) is to educate yourself as much as possible an learn all the signs. The same things the so called Dr
s were trained to do, Guess:) ANyway, hope all is going well for younow, I know my quality of life has improved 100 % and I don't have to be made to feel like I am some kind of freak just for seeking help.

amn do i hear ya, on this one, a while back my theapist convinced me i was to sick to be my oun payee, i refused over and over, but they wore me down as i was very sick at the time , we ll they took over to pay my bills and by the first month my gas got shut off for nonpayment!!! and i had to pay a 70 dollar deposit to get it back on, and i was so pissed at her that they gave me back my oun payee status, really fast, but would not pay me back the depoist i had to pay for their mistake, or apoligize to me, and that was the start! of this odd battle with my theapist, they shoveled me back and forth between two theapist, for over a three year peroid and see what kind of BS happens Expecially since they lived together as partner,s and my confidenality was broken on a reg basis, they lied to me, they crossed boundries mine and their oun, and when it all blew up they bailed on me!! one kept telling shit about the other, and i didn;t want to know all that BS, but it's like i had no choice, one would stress out and take a leave of absence and the other would take over! and visa versa, so i was husled back and forth,,,, yea, o i really got to those issues, right i never had time to talk about what i needed too, and now they just kicked me to the curb!! so i don't need em, and they were alot of trouble, i always got a severe headahke whenever i go to mental health!! stress!!, i've been in therapy since 89,, maybe i need a break for a whlie, and take stock of what i really need. see ya later Endlesssky:partysmile:

some of the best therapy for me is peer support. just talking to someone who is in my situation makes me feel like i;'m part of something. like i have freinds and commrades out there in the movement :partysmile: who are also feeling some of the same emotions that i am. i have a mental illness wich is more like a group of symptoms. and one of em is anxiety. if it wasnt for mmj i would probably be walking the streets all day to try and releive my anxiety so i can just come home and be so tired i wouldnnt feel so much anxiety and go to sleep. thanks to mmj i can say " i'll wait for you at home." instead of " i'll see you when i get home."
as for getting tired of smoking mmj; you should mix meds like hybrids and indicas or sativas and indicas or hybrids and sativas. to keep up the meds effect fresh. it can get lonely but support and therapy are probably the best remedy.

hey, there, watch out for albilfy!!! my partner was on that and it dropped her heart rate to below 30 beats a minute and they had to hospitalize her over Xmas to figure out that it was the meds, it's rare but it happened and she almost died, so look up all th side effects , cause they don't tell us all of them!!,. i look everything up on WEB MD and ten ask my primary care DR about it also . i will not be anone guianea pig anymore, they say your such a great guaina pig, i love working with you cause i thought they were helping me not hurting me!! and man was i wrong about them, i ill never trust them again and she has a different DR now, the one she had said she didn't know it effected the heart rate like that as a side effect! well she should of looked, my partner is alright now but it could of killed her and we should all know the side effects of medicatino, but when they don't give us all the info we have to go find it ourselves cause i know no one will watch out for me but me!!! i have to protect myself and knowlege is the best way i can think of!! hang in there!!
