OK I have 2 great things that have made my day...

1. I got through to talk to someone about my meds from mother safe which is at Royal hospital for women in sydney. She was fantastic.. She did bring up about the new findings on aropax and birth defects ( which is the reason I have issues with it this time) but she said that is mainly if taken in the first trimester and the defect they are talking aobut is a hole in the heart. I also asked about all Hollies issues and she assured me it wasnt from taking the aropax. She said that Aropax is the safest drug fro breastfeeding, so that helped with my fear of it going through the milk making the baby unsettled.

I guess Im so terrified of having another really awful baby that screams 24/7 and want to do all I can to reduce that. I know that HOllie has reflux and that was and Is her main problem. The lady told me My AD's would NOT cause reflux. My gp did say I could go up when I asked awhile ago but it was more like a " Yeah whatever". I wanted someones opinion and the reasons. Now I have it.. Ive made the decision to go back up. I will go up slowly to 3/4 for a few days then Ill increase back to a full tablet.. THis is the Ph number for that place in case I or anyone else needs it 1800647848

2. A gorgeous girl called pauline from EB sent me a package of scrapping goodies today. I had No idea they were coming so did NOT expect it at all. Im blown away by her and the other girls on EB's generosity. Her parcel came on a day where I hadnt stopped crying and made my day so more cheery........ How will i ever repay all these beautiful women.......

Thanks for all your feedback on the meds. I appreciate it..

Glad you're on the way to feeling better. I hear you on the fear of another reflux baby!!! Though I must say I lived through it once, I can surely do it again.

Good on you Kays. Glad you were proactive about it and i'm sure it won't be long and you'll be more on top of things.

Dear Kays,

First I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.

My name is Bob Fiddaman and I live in the UK. I've been to Australia on two occasions and hopefully one day will return - such is the love I have for your country.

For sometime now I've been campaigning here in the UK regarding the dangers of Seroxat (Known as Aropax in Aus)

My blog, Seroxat Sufferers, Stand Up and Be Counted, blows the lid on the corrupt activities between the makers of Aropax, Glaxosmithkline, and the Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Researching this I have noticed that Australian citizens are, in the main, completely unaware of what is exactly going on here in the UK regarding this drug.

It's really time for you all to stand up and be counted and to make noises regarding the suppression of the clinical trails for Aropax. Only a few years ago did the MHRA ban Aropax in the use of chilsdren and as I understand it, Aropax is still being prescribed to children in Australia. I find this appalling. We, a group of campaigners, are pushing for the drug to be banned completely as collectively we have all found evidence that Glaxosmithkline also suppressed the adult clinical trial evidence.

The side effects of this drug can be debilitating, I know - I was on it for 6 years - try to wean off it for 18 months until eventually going cold turkey - that was actually the worst three months of my life but I had made the decision that it was not going to run my life anymore.

Read the articles on my blog from your average Joe, hear stories of the4 zaps, the suicidal thoughts, the homicidal thoughts, the feeling of helplessness and lack of empathy toward others. Watch videos and see or at least judge for yourselves if Glaxosmithkline are lying.

I want the Australian citizens to start making some noise regarding this antidepressant - your government is keeping you pretty much in the dark about the dangers of this drug.

Yes, it helps some people but more and more people are coming forward now with their horror stories.

Anyway, enough of the chat.

Pay my site a visit, it's already being monitored by GSK and the MHRA - They can't do anything about it because it will highlight the cause. You will be astounded at the correspondence I have had with the MHRA and receently they have actually tried to gag me by throwing a copyright act in the mails they send me. Bit I refuse to bow down to this bullying. The public have a right to know exactly what is going on with the prescribed drugs we take.

I genuinely want the people of Australia to jump on board and to ask and pester doctors and healthcare professionals. Why not start your own blog and help spread the word that way?

Everyone deserves proper healthcare - Aropax, as we know it can be fatal.

Thank you for the rant and I hope to hear from you should you wish to pay a visit to my blog.

I can be contacted at fiddaman64@blueyonder.co.uk and my blog can be found at http://fiddaman.blogspot.com

I look forward to hearing from you
