Hi folks:
Sorry...another question as I was just diangosed. I've been feeling bad for 12 weeks. About 4 weeks in I got wicked anxiety and depression. I have NEVER had that before and have always been confident and "with it."
I have found 20 mg's of Prozac (an SSRI) helps.
Does anyone else take SSRI's for the stress, anxiety and depression of Lyme?

These drugs have many, many adverse effects that docs don't tell you about, including permanent brain damage, homicidal rages, and suicide.
The research $$$$$ and ads to the MDs from the drug companies reaches the billions every year.
Get to the root of the problem.
Best,

I'm not doubting what you've said, but can you point us to some research/documents supporting this?
I have used nuvigil in the past which has a dopamine reuptake action. Anyway, just wondering if you're saying this about all psychostims or brain drugs or just SSRIs in particular.
