I don't think there should be a change in the law for physical problems. I think it would be great to know the cause. The reason I feel as I do is I just learned that the FDA does no testing or study's on any medicine or food additive. In 2003 when I was prescribed Paxil and alprazolam how could I tell if the paxil worked of course I felt better from the alprazolam. I had the choice and took them for a year and a half I also was receiving counseling. When I felt better I told my doctor and he told me I could stop taking them the dosage was 20 mg paxil and .05 alprazolam. The symptoms came back worse in less then 2 days. He then told me I would have to take them the rest of my life. A little over a year ago a psychiatrist reduced my paxil from 40mg to 20mg and I had a series of brain zaps in only about 10 seconds it sounded like firecrackers and now have CNS problems. I applied for SSDI this could be another post but the mental health clinic never sent my 3yr file to them and apparently don't have too. I think it would be much better to have to have counseling first and let them make the determination. I would never want anyone to suffer.
