I asked Grok 3: Summarize the book 'No Other Man', by Bob Fiddaman. WOW! No Other Man, released in 2023 by Austin Macauley Publishers, marks a bold creative pivot for Bob Fiddaman, a writer previously known for his hard-hitting non-fiction exposé The Evidence, However, Is…
A strange and unsettling position to take.
Zofran, Thalidomide, Bendectin, Topamax, and Depakote all had settlements paid out. None are SSRI’s. This happens with all types of meds, so nice try.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) settled approximately 800 Paxil birth defect cases. Some of these defects resulted in mothers having to abort. This is publicly available information. Why is there a debate about whether it's safe or not to take SSRIs during pregnancy?
If you want to know how drug companies cover-up the dangers of taking SSRIs during pregnancy, then look no further than 'Ryan, Glaxo's Non-Viable Fetus - Part I' Part 2 is at the end of the post. I know what the outcome was, but I will take it to the grave.…
Twitter (X) shrinks throwing a hissy fit over the SSRI use in pregnancy panel lineup? Guess their egos didn’t get the VIP invite they expected. #PsychiatristTantrums

"Post Discontinuation Neurodaptive Dysregulaion." What kind of witchcraft fuckery is this?
Call it chronic brain impairment, neurotoxicity, enduring neurological injury. Precipitating factors: the use of psychiatric drugs and their withdrawal symptoms. Neglect is serious. Iatrogenic comorbidity and cascade iatrogenesis a likely outcome. joannamoncrieff.com/2019/04/01/per…

The mechanism is different. Withdrawal is more like a physiological dependence, while discontinuation results from the effect of a neurotransmitter change different from dependence or addiction. It feels bad, but it’s not the same phenomena as withdrawal. 2/end
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
First new drug in 20 years for PTSD? Not exactly. This isn’t a groundbreaking new treatment. It’s a combination of two existing, heavily marketed drugs Zoloft and Rexulti repackaged and rebranded as innovation. Of course it will be $$$$. This Friday, the @US_FDA…
Never forget. Even voices from beyond have the ability to reach out.
Thanks, Kim.
Spot-on video by @Fiddaman calling out the recent study downplaying the severity of antidepressant withdrawal. But let’s ask the bigger question: Why now? What’s the real agenda behind this timing? Was this study designed to discredit the thousands and thousands of lived…
Authors of the new antidepressant withdrawal review - What first attracted you to the billion dollar pharmaceutical industry?
"Of the 19 authors of the antidepressant withdrawal study, 11 have received funding or benefits from pharmaceutical companies in the form of advisory board, consultancy or speaker fees or research funding." thecanary.co/global/world-a…
Thanks, Sarah.
It IS quite baffling that @JAMAPsych published a review which provides zero insight into real world experiences of treatment compliant patients who take Antidepressant for years. @Fiddaman makes some crucial observations:
Just a reminder... This problem has been around for years and they're still denying it! Guidance on the Management of Withdrawal from Seroxat (Paroxetine) and Other SSRIs Notes of a meeting held at MHRA on 2 September 2008 Present: Robert (Bob) Fiddaman (RF), Campaigner,…
"8 out of 10 owners said their cat prefers it," was a marketing claim that was initially used in the UK. It later changed to "8 out of 10 owners who expressed a preference said their cat prefers it" due to complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority. The "Ribena Vitamin C…
Authors of new antidepressant review react to criticism.
We have to stop referring to brutal withdrawal, sexual dysfunction, and suicide as "side-effects" or "after effects". A side effect is dizziness, constipation, dry mouth, etc. I've been guilty of this in the past, but living with my partner, who lost her daughter in the most…
The real “lions den” is about understanding the nuances of depression and its treatment. Understanding why different people respond differently, have different side effects and after effects. That will lead to increasing knowledge about depression itself.
