5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Necessity for All Taking Psychiatric Drugs, 28 April 2000

By Bill Butler "Bill Butler" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Consumer's Guide to Psychiatric Drugs (Paperback)

This is a book that you simply must read. And yes, I will tell you why. In some cases, psychiatric drugs are necessary. And they will be a part of your treatment. I lost it when I gave complete control to my psychiatrists. I'll give you a short example. I said to one psychiatrist, "Could the Valium AND the Prozac cause ill effects?" Answer, "I don't know why it should." Later, I would find out that this answer would not be good enough! If you buy this book while you are taking psychiatric drugs, you will be taking responsibility for your own health care! Should you be taking this medication before bedtime? During meals? Before meals? With aspirin? This book tells all so that you will not become addicted to Valium like I did. Please read it for your best care. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Very Most Favorite Author on Bipolar Disorder, 14 Nov 2010

By M. Hoth "skinny momma" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Consumer's Guide to Psychiatric Drugs: Straight Talk for Patients and Their Families (Mass Market Paperback)

I love John Preston as an author and doctor. I probably own every book he's ever written, being bipolar myself for about 15 yrs. He's able to write in concise, but easy to understand terms for anyone with manic depression/bipolar disorder or anyone who has to deal with or care for someone with this illness to enjoy, read, and comprehend.
