| WHY??? Jamie Dolan 18:38:36 |
| | why wont any doctors help me when i feel this way???
read the med stuff if you want... but please look at the depression,
attention, etc...
cant some of this be helped with medicine?
Should I have to wake up every single day making a list "The 10 best
ways to die today" ??????
Jamie
Detailed Explaination:
Depression: I am too depressed on a daily basis to have any real desire
to do anything. Everything is a hassle, and almost nothing seems
worthwhile. I have been searching for something meaningful to do,
however, everytime I find something, I lose intrest / Motovation /
attention very quickly.
Attention: Poor, very hard to stay focused on one topic for more than
several minutes at a time without my mind wandering and going off to a
different subject. This makes it very very difficult to get anything
done.
Motovation: Extremely unmotivated. Almost no motovation. Lack the
desire to do almost anything. All I really want to do is lay around
and sleep or watch tv. Losing intrest in taking care of myself and
getting to appointments. If something does not change soon, I feel I
will barely have the motovation to get out of bed.
Anxeity: Somewhat better with the Indernal / Propranal.
***
Cognitive Approaches: E-mailed some people about re-training / entry
level job programs. I really have no desire for these basic jobs, and
don't have any motovation to go to do much any kind of work. My social
skills and interaction are still poor, and my anger is often out of
perportion and is uncontroalable.
***
Thoughts on Medication:
I don't think that the luvox, and effexxor are really doing much of
anything at all right now. Since we switched to the 10mg dexidrine
from the 15mg dexidrine er, I have become more depressed, and my
attention and desire seems to be worse.
The Inderall LA seems to help some with the Anxeity, and I think I want
to see about moving the dose of it up higher at the end of the first
month.
I would like to consider discontinuing effexxor and luvox and going
onto Adderal XR, and Selegiline (Eldepryl).
I would like to continue on the folowing:
Inderall LA 80 mg (Anxeity / Migrane Prevention)
Requip .25 at bed (PLMD / RLS)
Klonloplin 1mg BID (Anxeity)
Clartin-D /q (Allgeries)
Librax PRN (IBS)
Lomotil PRN (IBS)
Hydrocodone PRN (Migranes)
Tylenol 1-2grms PRN (Migranes)
Naproxen 220-440 PRN (Migranes / Muscle Pain)
I have been diagnosised with the following:
Executive disfunction
Aspburgers
OCD
ADD
Depression
Generalized Anxeity Disorder with Specfic Phobias
High Cholestoal

EfalexВ© has nothing to do w/ ADHD
... for y, then x must be beneficial for z. Kind of like saying that a

and ...
www.healthline.bravehost.com
What Is Coronary Artery Disease?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries that supply
blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become hardened and
narrowed. The arteries harden and narrow due to buildup of a material
called plaque (plak) on their inner walls. The buildup of plaque is
known as atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). As the plaque
increases in size, the insides of the coronary arteries get narrower
and less blood can flow through them. Eventually, blood flow to the
heart muscle is reduced, and, because blood carries much-needed oxygen,
the heart muscle is not able to receive the amount of oxygen it needs.
Reduced or cutoff blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle can
result in:
Angina (AN-ji-na or an-JI-na). Angina is chest pain or discomfort that
occurs when the heart does not get enough blood.
Heart attack. A heart attack happens when a blood clot develops at the
site of plaque in a coronary artery and suddenly cuts off most or all
blood supply to that part of the heart muscle. Cells in the heart
muscle begin to die if they do not receive enough oxygen-rich blood.
This can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle.
Over time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle and contribute to:
Heart failure. In heart failure, the heart can't pump blood
effectively to the rest of the body. Heart failure does not mean that
the heart has stopped or is about to stop. Instead, it means that the
heart is failing to pump blood the way that it should.
Arrhythmias (a-RITH-me-as). Arrhythmias are changes in the normal
beating rhythm of the heart. Some can be quite serious.
CAD is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause
of death in the United States in both men and women.

| The Harm That Anti-Amalgam Liars Do Mark Thorson 01:21:07 |
| | Here's an example of the sort of harm caused by those
who propagate myths about amalgam's alleged harmful
effects:
"The only step we've taken that I truly regret is when
I had all my "silver" (amalgam) fillings in my teeth
replaced (22 fillings, involving 14 teeth). I do know
of people that this has helped, but it hasn't helped me
at all health-wise and has left me with over a year of
constant pain in my teeth. I lost 1 tooth that had to
be pulled, as well. The problem was that the dentist
did not warn me about just how excruciating the pain
could be before I had this done - they said it was
similar to getting a filling - and that I'd probably have
"a little sensitivity" afterwards. Was THAT ever an
understatement! I had to take strong pain-killers daily
for a solid two months after the removals, and that just
barely kept me comfortable! The other problem is
they talked me into having all 4 quadrants of my teeth
done the same week - in 4 consecutive days. This
was probably the biggest mistake we made. I had no
problems with the exposures during the removals - they
did follow the recommended protocol for removing
the amalgams. However, the pain and problems
with chewing I have suffered since then were just
unbearable. For almost a year I was not able to chew
anything even slightly crunchy - even pickles or onions -
and absolutely nothing to eat or drink that was
colder than room temperature! If something cold hit
those teeth - it would almost make me say dirty
words it would hurt so bad! I even had to brush
my teeth with warm water only. I'm just now starting to
be able to chew regularly again - nuts are still out,
but it's getting better all the time. Also, the filling
material they used on me was a "composite" and
they're not lasting at all. I've already had to have 2
crowns and a bridge (involving 3 teeth) because the
fillings started cracking the minute I was finally able
to start chewing on those back teeth. I'm just putting
this out there because I feel I wasn't given complete
information before making the decision to go ahead
with my removals. I now would tell people to try
absolutely EVERY other way to reduce their toxic
exposures first (cleaning their environment, switching
to non-toxic products, etc.) before making the decision
to have their fillings removed and replaced. And
even then - only if you're still really disabled from your
condition..."

Excerpts:
The researchers also compared the effects of Ritalin to the effects observed
by fish oil supplements. Using a comparison figure from a meta-analysis
(CMAJ, 2001, Vol. 165, pp.1475-1488), Sinn and her co-workers calculated
that the Ritalin had a total effect on the ADHD index of 0.54.
A larger effect value of 0.59 was calculated for the group that took the
fish oil supplements for the whole 30 weeks, while the placebo group that
switched to fish oil after 15 weeks had an effect value of 1.03.
"This new study adds to the mounting evidence that nutrition is safer and

A business man got on an elevator.
When he entered, there was a blonde already inside who greeted him with
a bright, "T-G-I-F."
He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T."
She looked puzzled and repeated, "T-G-I-F," more slowly.
He again answered, "S-H-I-T."
The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled her biggest
smile, and said as sweetly as possibly, "T-G-I-F."
The man smiled back to her and once again, "S-H-I-T."
The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain. "'T-G-I-F" means
Thank Goodness It's Friday. Get it, duuhhh?"
The man answered, "'S-H-I-T"' means 'Sorry, Honey, Its Thursday'

OK, I see you've got a Cafe Press shop up and are working on putting the
merchandise in the window.
Do you have a spare room? I was thinking about those places that get
city slickers to pay to come and help out for a week. Some citified
person who sees too much concrete and right angles flies down and pays
you for the privilege of staying for a period of time and helping out
with the rescues. You've got to pick them up at the airport, feed 'em,
and show 'em what to do, but that's about it.
Or
Get adopted by a church somewhere, or a school. In some way get an
organized bunch of people -- including kids -- involved. They can learn
about animals and do activities to raise funds for you.
Without disclosing too much personal information in this public place,
what kind of money are we talking about that's needed to avert disaster?

Antidepressant and Lithium Therapy Linked to Future Use of
Antiparkinson Drugs
Treatment with antidepressants and lithium is associated with increased
risk of treatment with antiparkinson drugs: a pharmacoepidemiological
study

ABSTRACT
Objective: To estimate the risk for persons treated with
antidepressants or lithium of subsequent treatment with antiparkinson
drugs (APD).
Methods: The Danish national prescription database supplied data on all
persons who received antidepressants, lithium, or antidiabetics (first
control group). A second control group was included comprising persons
from the general population. Outcome was purchase of APD and the study
period was 1995 to 1999.
Results: In total, 1 293 789 persons were included. The rate ratio of
treatment with APD after treatment with antidepressants was 2.27 (95%
CI 2.14 to 2.42) for men and 1.50 (95% CI 1.43 to 1.58) for women.
Figures for lithium were almost identical.
Conclusion: Persons treated with antidepressants or lithium are at
increased risk of subsequently treatment with APD, showing an
association between anxiety/affective disorder and Parkinson's
disease.
Abbreviations: APD, antiparkinson drugs; PD, Parkinson's disease;

Dear Editor,
This very interesting report may well be correct in suggesting an
association between mood disorders in general (not just depression) and
Parkinson's disease (PD). However a more likely consideration, given
the observation that the anti-PD medications were mostly begun within
the first six months of starting the mood-treatment drugs, is that the
parkinsonian syndrome was drug induced. Lithium and the selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors have been associated with parkinsonism
(1- 5)and it is likely that some patients receiving lithium were also
taking valproic acid, another drug associated with parkinsonism(1). My
own experience has been that lithium induced parkinsonism is
underrecognized, but I have no data to support that contention.
Unfortunately the data available for analysis from this study will not
be able to distinguish drug induced parkinsonism from idiopathic PD but
this problem confounds the interpretation provided.
