Hi folks, quite honored with this - Song of the Week - Walk With Me by Michael Skinner - Mad In America

"I had a life as a husband, father, professional musician and owner of a successful music company. The childhood trauma I experienced came back to knock me down with complex PTSD and depression. The mistreatment and over-medication was the catalyst for me to write this song."

I share your concern, Michael: Two weeks into my 'In-Hospital recovery' [from open=heart surgery], I reportedly had a 'PTSD Reaction' and was prescribed 'low dose Mellaril', in July 1991; regretably our US FDA had not listed a 'side-effect' that the Canadian 'equivalent agency had listed {"Prolongs the Qt heart rhythm"). I ended up going by ambulance from the 'teaching hospital' to 'Saint Elsewhere' to have my heart rate re-set.

Those meds can do a number on the mind, body & spirit. & not making folks aware of the side effects is so damn wrong.
