NEW!!
LYNN K. 20 plus years on Lithium LOIS E.
25 plus years on tricyclics
Hello Fans,
here is our latest NEW AND IMPROVED crazy person
update, including our latest mentally unstable person,
Lois E. of Gary and Lois fame who has been on Tricyclics
pu****ng 25 years. She is no longer afraid to talk about it.
Neither is Lynn K. who embraces her mental illness and
opens up about her 20 plus years on Lithium, as well as
her love afair with Zoloft.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! RPD* Ment_ally Ill All_StaRz as of 12/21/03
Lois E. (of Gary and Lois fame)
Lois' has been on tricyclic antidepressants for approximately
25 years. This may be a record. Husband is a cop but there is
no evidence that he beats the crap out of her, or that he has
for 25 years.
Had a traumatic experience as a child with a horse running
wild in the Pantry and living room. In recent years, shot
neighbor's dog from point blank range while it was chewing on
her pigmy goat, teaching son to solve problems with the
neighbor's using shock and awe levels of violence."
===================
BEEN ON TRICYCLICS FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS
"I don't take lithium, but I've been on trycyclics for about
22 years. Been there, done that, have the t-****rt to prove
it. What's really terrific, is now days you can say proudly,
"I take anti-depressives". Back when I started taking them
it was seen as something shameful. If you cut your leg off,
and were lying there with a bleeding stump, you'd never let
the word depressed, pass your lips, or the doc's would say,
"You're depressed, on medication? Well, can't have any pain
meds.....you could become addicted." The good old days. I
actually had a Great Aunt who's father locked her in her
room back in the twenties because she was simple. A shame
that medication probably would have helped her live a normal
life. No Denna, I was just saying with Darlene's
personality, she has a way of making grandiose plans when at
the top of her manic cycle....as does my daughter. I wasn't
saying that anyone with problems could be counted on to be
irresponsible."

Mustang Sally -----------------------------------------------
well i wouldn't consider myself mentally healthy. though i'll
refrain from calling myself ill if it makes you feel better.
and no, ADD is not the major problem, i certainly know that, i
just mentioned it because of the impulsivity issues.
i wasn't trying to imply i'm disabled by it.
but i stand by the fact that OCD is an illness, major
depression with psychotic features certainly is, panic
disorder is too. and the other stuff just makes it all the
more fun.
i don't wallow in it. i'm just now learning to accept it,
because ignoring it wasn't working out too well. i need to do
that to make changes to my life so that i can become healthy.
and you say you're not trying to be condescending, but you're
doing it again. what i read was, (my paraphrasing) "people
who think they're mentally ill are wallowing in their
disabilities and letting them consume their life" you come
across as though you would be able to handle any of these
illnesses, and anyone who can't is just copping out.
well we're all different. and i don't accept your idea that i
would have a more productive life if i denied my problems.
i tried it for years, and believe me, it didn't work very
well.

yeah, i'm pretty sure i could qualify for all sorts of

I guess this is just one of those instances in which I feel
that the US is turning into a nation of victims. And please,
don't anybody jump all over me, because I am not talking about
anyone personally. Everything seems to be a compensatable (not
sure if that's actually a word) disability. If 3/4 of the
people are physically disabled or mentally ill, what's
'normal'?
Terrible parents, painful childhoods, physical illnesses,
psychological problems, etc. are all part of who a person is,
and therefore how s/he sees the world and interacts in it.
But life isn't about who you are and what you've got, it's
what you do with it. For me anyway, the more I think of myself
as partially disabled, the more I am that way.
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like Dr. Phil.

I often have to rotate my stimulants. You can become used to

It is true that anti-depressants or anti-anxiety pills will

stuff, couldn't cry either.....except about my suicidal
thoughts (but at the time I thought there was no other way
out)."

my ex and I would up divorced four years after our move. It

Severe OCD, depression, prescribed Paxil for mental illness,

(familial mental illness, possibly related to family bed)

strangers and 3 different vets, but not herself (see

RPD* Enemy of Dogs #1
(Lithium, Zoloft, bipolar, manic, depression) will "put down a
biter as fast as anyone" yet claims to be a saintly dog
rescuer. Murders dogs because of insurance rates Her brother
was attacked by a Golden Retriever when she was young. For
this reason, she murders easily trainable dogs. Condemns dogs
to death who are easily trainable with her "evaluations." Is
nice to people in person, but her true dog hating nature comes
out on newsgroups with extreme clarity.
Advocates shooting dogs on sight, when they chase deer. Sees
no other option. Her own dog Java had to be shocked with a
shock collar to keep him from chasing deer.
has been on lithium for approximately 20 years. Zoloft for an
undetermined number of years
1200mg LITHIUM 50mg ZOLOFT
"I, too, have a bi-polar mood disorder
(manic-depression) requiring 1200mg of lithium and 50 mg of
Zoloft every day. I, also, care about dogs and use this
forum to learn more, while happily sharing pertinent
information I have learned. But if I were ever to post
such sh*t, I would hope that every other reader of this
group would be rightfully outraged."
WE EARN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE
"Community is an evolutionary thing that we earn
the right to participate in by observing the easily

I THINK I'M QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT LITHIUM
"I particularly remember
a comment she made about scarey side effects of Lithium.
Hardly. After 17 years on it, I think I'm qualified to say
that the very low risk of any side effect is far less
frightening than the very real dangers of life without it."

From: Chris Kosmakos (chris...@[EMAIL PROTECTED]

- Good medication or no?
I TAKE A SIMILAR DRUG MYSELF
"Yes, for very specific behaviorial problems. I would have
to trust my vet and behaviorist a lot, and be very sure
that I had exhausted every other option before I used
Prozac to deal with a dog problem - and I take a similar
drug, Zoloft, myself."

Leah
Effexor for chronic depression, in denial about being
mentally ill. Has taken several other mentally ill
medications before settling on effexor for her chronic
mental problems. Leah is improving as a dog trainer and
wants to open her own training/boarding kennel soon and
write a book.
This drives her fellow mentally ill regulars nuts (read
shelly Lynn K.), especially if Leah succeeds while other
loonies continue to sit on their fat behinds
Leah is a relatively stable crazy person but she just might
be the agent that drives others to jump off of a cliff

Tara Green
Tara Green is a dog trainer of sorts in New York City left
rpd* claiming that she could not afford internet access and/or
a computer, but her story is of value nonetheless
was on antidepressants for a few years prior to her
marriage. During her marriage, she learned a lot: "With the
therapist I saw during my marriage I learned that some
situational depressions are masked as chemical simply
because of our too human ability to prolong the impact of
the causal situations indefinitely"
Sounds like more denial, see leah
Tara is also a drunk who has also had problems with other
substances
TARA on being a drunk/substance abuser:
"Tara (who had some problems with quite a
few substances as well, but who thinks they are separate
issues.....so which camp does that put me in???)"
"Believe it or not, some people don't have
a problem with drugs even though they are alcoholics. I'm
not one of those people, but they do exist."
aka, tara has problems with both

EFFEXOR "I'm on 375 mg/day and it has worked wonders for
me. The only down side is that my blood pressure has
elevated somewhat; oh and if I miss a dose by a couple of
hours the "brain ****vers" can be really bad.
Good luck!

"I switched from Paxil to Effexor about 5 months ago. I
tapered off of the Paxil and tapered onto the Effexor at
the same time."

A SPECIAL BONUS ON shelly the librarian at Indiana U.
========================================================
SHELLY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T THINK HATTIE IS STARVING
EMACIATED, VET WAS SURPRISED
"when i got harriet she was emaciated, so
i asked my vet for advice on slowly adding weight to her.
six months later i took harriet in for her spring check-up
and my vet was surprised that at how thin she still was."
--shelly couvrette
STILL VET SHOPPING
"<raises hand> i've been told by three different vets that
harriet (53lbs) is *way* too skinny. we're still
vet-shopping, BTW."
--shelly couvrette
THE OL' "I'M STARVING" ROUTINE
"if you really can't resist it when your dog pulls
the "i'm starving!" routine <G>, you can give him some
frozen green beans or a small amount of plain pureed
pumpkin. i would also suggest putting the food out of his
sight. i keep my food--still inside the bags, which are
tightly rolled down--inside trash cans in the closed
laundry room. that keeps it fresh and keeps it out of my
dogs' sight."
--shelly couvrette
POSITIVELY STARVED
"heh. i get the opposite response. people think
that poor little harriet is positively starved to death.
i've actually had people stop me in the pet supply shop and
tell me that i need to fatten her up!"
--shelly couvrette
WHO WANTS TO BE TOLD YOU ARE HURTING YOUR WIDDLE PRECIOUS?
"i think that may be part of the problem. who
wants to go to a vet who tells you you're hurting your
.widdle precious? i think the other part is that some vets
really don't *realize* that what they consider proper
weight is fat. after having been told by a couple of vets
that my dogs are too thin, i've got a dim view of vets on
that topic."
--shelly couvrette
JUST A BITE WON'T HURT
--shelly's mom
FEED HER AND I'LL RIP YOUR ARM OFF, *****
--shelly
"my mom is kinda that way, but not *as* bad.
she thinks that harriet is awfully skinny, so feeding her
table snax is okay. she tells me that just a bite won't
hurt."
--shelly couvrette
NOBODY IS STARVING FAT PI.G SHELLY
NOBODY WILL STOP SHELLY ON THE STREET AND TELL HER SHE IS
STARVING HERSELF shelly's fat face
http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette/Wshelly2.jpg
=======================================================
There are a lot of big fat women on these groups who starve
their dogs out of vanity, but shelly is a special case.
shelly is moor.e than a little bit beyond the pale
Shelly has OCD, and maybe she's just a little obsessive about
measuring out extra tiny and discrete ****tions with a tiny
measuring cup, or counting out pieces of green bean or pumpkin
that she gives her dogs when they give her the "I'm Starving"
routine. When grandma tried to give Hattie a snack, shelly
probably went ape****, because it was in violation of her
Obsessive need to oversee every tiny calorie that goes into
her widdle precious' mouth.
shelly's a special case, a special kind of dog abuser
