[quote=freeballin]You're completely ignorant jammes to think you can safely take meds to "calm you down". There are numerous forums with more active members than the mercury crowd who have all suffered due to psych meds, specifically ones that "calm you down". Do you know much damage to your body those drugs can do? Go check out forums like benzoisland.com, benzowithdrawal.com etc to find the truth of what they can do. Even over a short period of time they can do significant damage, you think mercury toxicity is bad wait till you experience benzo withdrawal. I was on them for 1 year and 4 years later my CNS is still recovering. I would rather be dead then go through that again, and that's an understatement. It basically has similar symptoms to mercury toxicity anyway, if not more. So in retrospect you can't offer a valid opinion on this topic so refrain from doing so.

Sorry but I really hate people who go all out with the body toxicity propaganda and then think that psych medication is something you can use without harm. I've chatted to another guy that had his mercury fillings removed(he's planning to write a book), tells me he has healed a lot since removal but has some lingering symptoms and he thinks pesticides are causing them. Then he mentions to me he took benzos during chelation, mentioning symptoms he has that match benzo withdrawal. I just dont get the logic you want to recovery from one health problem but in the same process create another one? potentialy more severe than your current one? If you are going to take a powerful mind altering drug at least do your research on it and by research I dont mean reading up the drug manufacturers website.

You guys - sheesh - quit being so argumentative. You can discuss this without caling each other ignorant, etc. Personally I use drugs in moderation when I need them. I sure don't promote them, but sometimes the benefits outweigh what extreme stress can do to you physically, mentally and emotionally. Sometimes you just do what you need to do. The goal is not to use them as a crutch or replace natural methods and work towards actually healing and not use them for band-aid treatment. Sometimes in the interim, though.... I would agree more with what Jammes is saying.
