Something everyone can do

This isn't my idea although I wish it had been.

Take a magazine and make yourself a poster the same size as the pages in the magazine. (sort of a public service advertisement)

Glue the poster over an advertisement

Drop it off in the waiting room of a clinic or hospital in your area.

Re: Something everyone can do

That's hilarious
i should make one to say how the prescribing doc hasnt a clue about what he prescribes and how sick i got and drop it off in his office.
I was about to throw out some old magazines but maybe i will dummy them up and go dropping them off.

Hahaha, that's a good idea. Or print this out and put it next to the pamphlets: http://www.drugawareness.org/pdf/zoloftad.pdf

Re: Something everyone can do

The lady that told me she was doing this printed that very thing and glued it on over the Zoloft ad in the magazine. I would have loved to watch the reactions when people saw that. I would have really loved to see a Phizer rep pick it up.

Celexa 20 mg 1997-98. Quit CT, no WD problems.
Paxil/Seroxat 20 mg 2001-2003 then switched to 50 mg Zoloft without any WD problems after the switch. Zoloft later increased to 75 mg.

2004 tapered Zoloft too quickly after sudden onset of muscle stiffness and extreme restlessness on full dose. Severe and prolonged WD problem with a long list of symptoms. Considerable mental but very little physical improvement so far. Last Zoloft dose April 18 2004.

Good idea, Charlie. I'm going to start doing this with all my old mags.
