[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 686748, member: 1550"] Lol on limbaigh listening to his own shows and going deaf. I never listen to him, bit I read that this is why he went deaf. The oxycotin abuse. It was specifically mentioned. That is the only time I heard of oxycotin and deafness so I was just curious if its true or a well known consequence. Thanks for your answer. And the laugh. Big problem. Doctors DONT always tell you that a drug can be addictive OR cause you to have to taper carefully if you dont want to learn what a brain zap is. I feel there should be a law where the prescribing doctor has to tell you every pro and con about a prescribed drug. Then, and only then, can we make informed decisions. My psychlatric medications saved me from death. I had a serious death wish, depression, a detailed plan and even letters to my loved ones. My psychiatric drugs that saved my life are ironically both almost impossible to withdraw from. I want to be on these medications until I die because they help me. I dont take them to get high and have never once taken more than the prescribed dose. I dont drink or mix them with anything more than Tylenol. But the improvement in my life sinse taking them is besides the point. I still had a right to know all that the doctor knew about them. I was so sick im sure I would have taken them anyway. It was them, ECT or dying. I feel so normal now that im grateful that these medications exist. But I was still withheld information. To avoid a long medications discussion I am not going to name my medications or discuss them with anyone here. I need them like a diabetic needs insulin and I hate that drugged feeling and never had it with my medications. I sure dont get a high from them either. But I can function and not think about how much I want to die. So im not asking for advice or opinions...I have done my research. Having said that, I still think all patients should be verbally informed on each medication. Then we can truly make a choice. I'm sure I would have said yes anyways, but its nice to be respected as a patient. [/QUOTE]
