Mole Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 In 1952 a French heart surgeon wanted to find a Drug to calm people before open heart surgery.He designed Chlorpromazine.He happened to try it out on Schizoprenics and found it stopped their symptons with stupifying them.This drug and the ones that followed ( phenothiazines ), paved the way towards ' Care in the Community'.

Mole Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 How do you feel about taking your meds?Why do you sometimes stop taking them?The Meds cause depression and lack of motivationIn the past i've stopped taking them - because i had given up Cannabis( thinking that was the problem)When I stop taking them it's as if I've re-joined the Human race.I haven't intentionaly stopped them now for 3 yearsBut i've tried new ones that haven't workedAnd I beleive that heavy stress has over - powered them ( possibly ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassed2bits Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Largactyl gave me chronic constipation.So, I ended up on laxatives, then got diahorrea, so ended up on imodium, but because I was still on largactyl I got constipation again .... and so on and so on ...............................Now I take handfulls of what is to hand .. diazapam, duloxetine, lithium, prozac, effexor, quitipene, you name it ... it is like a chemist shop here!
