Comments: 05-17-2007 Media Madness

Well the comment about ass-ripping is from a comment thread from www.crazymeds dot org [great info site btw]on their chat board. Looks like they are reading all of this sub bp talk as anti-medication talk.

One person refers to commenters here as stupid and being fished into believing bleh bleh bleh.

One thing that completely baffles me:

Where does it say that Furious Seasons is anti-med? Hell the author of the blog as articles written about personal struggles with bipolar disorder and 18 years of medication compliance and a successful career on top it all.

Read Cl Psych's blog link--and read Maddy's thread comment.

I feel the need to sign in with one of those stats under our names now like those places:

My name:
Meds: Lamictal, Xanax
DX: Bipolar II
"strongly believes in neuroleptic withdrawal;hates pharma reps but uses free samples,is pissed that Zyprexa kept information secret; etc.Caution, my comments can appear anti-med.

That really cracked me up. Those boards remind me of being in the hospital.

Patient 1: "Are you voly or involy?"

Patient 2: "Voly."

P1: "What are you in for?"

P2: "Depression"

P1: "I had that, but now they say I'm bipolar. What are you taking?"

P2: "They just changed my meds and I don't know what they are."

P1: "Oh. Well be careful. They are really pushing Seroquel. That patient over there just started it."

P3: [drool]

P1: "She asked for the PI sheet for Seroquel but I don't think they gave it to her."

P3: [snore]
