Prozac Nation No More?
What kind of impact does that have on their lives?
Two weeks ago, one of our Gaza leaders told me I had to meet this 16-year-old boy. I went to talk to him. He had seen his best friend killed by Israeli gunfire. He would dream about it at night and couldn't concentrate at school. He started throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers, hoping they would kill him, too. Our training helped him talk about those experiences for the first time. Then, during the guided imagery, when participants imagine having an "inner guide," he imagined his grandfather bringing what seemed like the wisdom of the Koran. The boy asked his grandfather what to do about his friend. And he heard a voice that sounded like his friend, saying, "You will honor me by living." He doesn't throw stones at the soldiers anymore.
So are you saying that people should throw out their Prozac?
No, the bottom line is that there is another way. Don't quit cold turkey. Withdrawal symptoms can be very serious, including anxiety and agitation. Some people get more depressed. They may have headaches, difficulty sleeping, muscle cramps. You can begin the "Unstuck" approach while taking the medications. When and if you feel ready to stop taking the drugs, work with a physician who can help you gradually taper off.
