Time Passes

Well, here I am realizing that my last post was almost a year ago. Many of you might be wondering how Bob is doing. He is still dealing with the major depression; onset April 2011. We are 100% sure that the toxic reaction to the drug he was on in Sept of 2011 and how long it took the doctors to recognize the symptoms were not due to anxiety but the drug, caused this long term condition. Some times I just sit in disbelief that drugs were prescribed that caused him so much anguish. Today he is experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the clonazepam that was prescribed at too high a dose for too long. Do I want to blame someone? I have handed that over to the LORD and pray I will not grab hold of that judgement again. You can look back at past posts to see how high of a dose the docs had him on - crazy high. It is a long process but he is currently down to .25 in the morning and .50 at bedtime. I am so proud of him. I can see the physical and mental anguish he experiences from cutting the dosage. Please beware when any BENZO drug is prescribed. Long term use(anything over a few weeks)will cause withdrawal symptoms. If done too quickly, can even cause death.
