Hi Sidestepper,

Yes, it is not fair that you had to suffer side effects and struggle only to find out that it wasn't you after all.

I have found this out the hard way too. I was given an inplant after surgery for endometriosis and went into full blown depression. I was not told about the medication causing this. I went for quite a few years fearing that it would happen again as it came on very sudden.

I was not told that the anethesia and pain medication after my extensive life saving surgery would also cause psycological issues, wasn't that nice too?

I dont know why this has to happen. Perhaps it may be felt that a patient who is informed about a side effect may just imagine it. But I am with you, I would sure like to know in advance. And not think that there was something wrong with me psychologically. I think that is cruel myself.

I honestly don't know why the patient is always the last to know. Hey Hippee, how many signs do you have now? Hippee knows right hippee?
I think that patients can be sometimes nothing but another cow. LOL

Oh, do I have stories. I wish I had met Hippee along time ago so I always had signs I could grab in case of emergency. Heck with the suitcase, grab the signs. Right Hippee?

Yes it is crowded in PTSD, but people are coming and going and so there is room to come and yell, get angry, hyperventalate, have a panic attack and review, review, review. Nice to know your not alone in misery huh?
