We are sorry to hear about your mother. You are absolutely correct that it has long lasting (and potentially lifetime) effects. Many of us are working through this now. It is unfortunate that there are still so many postings that ask "how long till this is out of my system". Once the damage is done, it is not simply a matter of getting the drug out of your system. I just wish more people would listen so that fewer of them would be damaged by this terrible product. And Big Pharma should pay dearly, just as we did.
