alexjuice Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 For Anatomy of an Epidemic I recall seeing the Marcia Angell (sp) and an NPR review but does anyone have links to others? "Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me. Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now." - Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexjuice Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm thinking of sending the book to a couple of skeptics but I don't think they'll read it. I can increase my odds if I print out a few reviews and send them along. I'm looking for reviews by big media outlets with brands my recipeints recognize and respect and the only two I know of are NPR and NY Book Review (or whatevre it's called; i'm not a subscriber). I'll look around.

hippopotamus Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Great idea Alex! I really like your strategic take on this. Have been on Seroquel XR from 2008. Dosages have fluctuated quite a bit. Rough guess: I've been on 250-300-350-400-450-500 mg from 2009-summer 2012. Started tapering july 2012 with cuts of 50 mg. By then I had been on 450 mg for a while. October 2012: 200 mg. Due to flu-like WD reinstated to 250 mg nov 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Time Magazine I was "TryingToGetWell" (aka TTGW) on paxilprogress. I also was one of the original members here on Surviving Antidepressants I had horrific and protracted withdrawal from paxil, but now am back to enjoying life with enthusiasm to the max, some residual physical symptoms continued but largely improve. The horror, severe derealization, anhedonia, akathisia, and so much more, are long over. My signature is a temporary scribble from year 2013. I'll rewrite it when I can.
