Comment on The Marijuana Military: Is weed the answer for PTSD? by Matt South

15 years with PTS. I spent many of those years on harsh pharmaceuticals such as SSRI, Benzos, ect. None of them helped and many made it much worse. Cannabis has been a blessing! It’s not a cure but nothing compares when it comes to managing my PTS symptoms

Comment on Robin Williams’ Death A Side Effect Of Prescription Drugs? by GiraFFe1948

In Dec. 1999 my (then) cardiologist put me on mega doses of Niaspan (1,500mg. a day). My cholesteral was 165, I was on Lipitor already but he wanted to ‘try’ me on this drug. I was in a very depressed state for 2 months, actually was contemplating suicide until I finally took myself off the Niaspan. The severe depression left (and it wasn’t listed as a side-effect) and when I went to see him he asked how I was doing and I said “Fine now that I took myself off the Niaspan.” His remark? ” Yeah, most people can’t handle that!” I almost went for his throat. I have never felt the same since taking that and I would say he ruined my life. Needless to say I walked out of his office and now have a new cardio doc.
