“I have attempted suicide 3 times now, maybe
the fourth will be the charm because this life is not life, it is a
tortuous hell, that leaves little to live for.”
I am a disabled veteran diagnosed with PTSD, MDD and
drug abuse. I was prescribed Effexor, for 4 1/2 years at which time,
without notification or informed consent, while living in a foreign
country, I suddenly quit receiving my medication through the US embassy,
As noted in numerous documents severity of withdrawals is directly
related to length and dose. 375 mg for 2 years, I have lost everything,
I live in misery, alone, in a 3 room apt with a black dog, totally
withdrawn, I do not go anywhere that I am not escorted, an I only go to
the DR Pharmacy and Food Store,
I am involved in a complaint with the Veterans Administration over
malpractice they have refused to provide treatment, any kind of
assistance and retribution for my complaints is the name of the game, I
fear to return to the US for what they might do, I fear for my own
emotional state, I have attempted suicide 3 times now, maybe the fourth
will be the charm because this life is not life, it is a tortuous hell,
that leaves little to live for.
The stress of the retribution is more than I can handle, my doctor here
has written a letter telling the VA that their actions are placing my
life in grave danger, They are involved in cover their butt, and I am in
conflict, I am veteran with a duty and loyalty that I cannot deny,
I do not think that I shall last for much longer, yet, I cannot let go,
and abandon my fellow veterans in obtaining some form of corrective
action that will protect them from the horror of what I have been
through.
