Hi, i wanted to make a separated topic because i find no one on that theme on the forum.

 

I have found studies that link osteoporosis with antidepressant drug. 

 

 

This week i asked my doctor to test my bone density with an quantitative computed tomography (scanner) and the result is that i have osteopenia.

I don't know if it is linked to the treatment i have taken. I am just 36 years old. And i just wanted to share the possible link.

My vitamin D is low but still correct: 27ng/ml.

1998 prazépam, citalopram /1999 paroxetine prazepam /2000 paroxétine /2001venafaxine, alprazolam, clomipramine * 2002 (dont remember)/2003 clomipramine, alprazolam /2004 clomipramine /2005 alprazolam /2006(dont remember) * 2007citalopram, alprazolam, prazépam, venlafaxine /2008(dont remember) /2009 venlafaxine /2010 venlafaxine *All precedent withdrawal were very fast. I tried many times to stop but didn't know what happened. *2011 mirtazapine (22,5 mg) , norset , risperdal (cold turkey for risperdal and norset, analysis by doctor say that my body does not support and i was in danger) /2012 mirtazapine / 2013 mirtazapine  *october 2014 mirtazapine (15mg) - putting down slowly.   *when i was good for one month i  down 1ml. (1ml of 100ml of water in which there was 1 pill of 15mg of mirtazapine. At the end i remove 1ml of 50ml of water but with 0,5 pill it does the same concentration.) (i down more like "how i feel, because at the beginning i had a calendar tapping 10% every 15 days and i was really bad, so i decided to see one month and after if i was trust in my body, i remove 10% of the dose at the beginning; and at the end i remove 1ml (when the 10% was lower than 1ml). It was more how i feel. (it is just the last 1 ml that i remove rapidly because i think i was attached mentally and i need to break. and 1ml of 50ml of 15/2mg is just 1ml correspond to 0.15mg. ).  -juillet 2017 stop all. 

nov 2017 tetany and gastritis. I found "euphytose", "spasmine", "phyto-stress" from Govital(the more efficient if crisis because more concentrated)  efficient. If very bad i take valerian extract 1000mg (stop crisis). 

january 2022: I survive. Still having no hunger sensation.

I am also concerned about the long term effect of ssri's on bone. I have lost bone in my gum. My dentist says it's stress and grinding. Still, I do wonder of the implications. Stress/cortisol has weakened my system too, but who knows the effect. I am 34 years old.

If you test you bone density with quantitative computed tomography (scanner)  of your vertebral column, it could help you to know if it is general or just localized to your mouth. For me it is general.

 

Doctor said the equivalent age of my bone of my vertebral column is like a personn of 65 years old. For me it is general. And there is nothing to do  just taking vitamin D and sport say the doctor. I have to re-test in 2 years. Sport will improve bone density in some bones like femur bone will have no impact on vertebral column.

 

The hidden effects.

 

(Today I feel good, and my jaw is no longer stretched. I hope it will continue. But it take time to the body to find a new balance. And i know i still fragile.)
