Akathisia, akathisia, akathisia. It can feel a lot like anxiety only worse than when you started the medications. The anxiety you feel now might not be anxiety anymore. It might be harm from the same drug you used to treat it. Don’t ask your doctor about it. They weren’t taught.

Good podcast revealing how GSK bribed FDA trial reviewers for their Tricyclic with a trip to Monte Carlo, and told them not to ask about sex. Because their internal trials showed a 50-50 shot of healthy people developing sexual dysfunction in mere weeks. m.youtube.com/watch?v=BbMXUZ…

Donate to mutual aid & community fridges Give rides to the grocery store or do someone’s shopping Cook a few meals for someone and drop them off There are many wonderful community care solutions, but too often people shame instead of help Let’s commit to helping instead /end

Akathisia is “Like living in a scream.” Lisa Loomer’s gripping new play Side Effects May Include… exposes the hidden crisis of akathisia and the deadly cost of uninformed consent. The bold new play is now running at the world-renowned Contemporary American Theater Festival.…

Do Stanford Pain medics have any insight into why SSRIs can cause irreversible, untreatable genital numbness? Do you believe patients should be warned about PSSD?

I love the APA and want it to succeed, but I am not sure that this statement is most representative of the sources they cite. To say "There is no overall evidence that SSRIs are unsafe during pregnancy" They cite Clarke et al. 2023's white paper, which indeed says "Recent…

What frustrates me most about PSSD is its capriciousness. When you respond to our accounts of harm with, ‘well, SSRIs worked for me,’ or ‘they saved my life,’ you’re only underscoring how cruelly arbitrary this condition really is. The fact that they don’t maim most of their…

Because he is counting on his stupid base to not understand math. The tariff surplus will hardly cover his billionaire tax break which means we are still far in debt and going deeper. Educate yourself.

"A serious play that isn’t afraid to laugh at times, ‘Side Effects May Include…’ is one you definitely want to see." "Most people have likely never heard of the condition known as #Akathisia. The mother in “Side Effects May Include…” at the Contemporary American Theater…

A decade ago, when we warned about the harms of over-medicalisation, no one in power paid attention. Now they do, as the results are impossible to ignore as an entire generation suffers the personal & ideological harms of their distress being unduly pathologised & medicated...

Tulsi, many of us already have read the intel reports, the bipartisan ones, not the cherry-picked propaganda drops you’re pushing now. We’ve seen the 2017 ICA, the Mueller Report, and the Senate Intelligence Committee’s 1,000-page, Republican-led report, all confirming Russia…

The foundation of the psychiatric industrial complex is built on lies, manipulation, fraud and systematic deception. Its a house of cards and its crumbling. The voices of harmed patients are being heard. The tidal wave is coming. Be on the right side of history

Doordash nonsense again debunked: “Disabled people could just get a caregiver instead of using food delivery.” My 83 year old disabled dad can’t even get insurance to pay for a caregiver. And he has Medicare + blue shield 1/

Hopefully this will be the next thing that will be investigated:

I second that. Likely millions have had withdrawal symptoms reframed as relapse since SSRIs came to market. It is way past time for this to stop

Amazed to hear Kay Roussos-Ross MD claim that women who stop their drugs in pregnancy are 5 times more likely to suffer relapse. Mistaking antidepressant withdrawal for relapse is a classic mistake. Please update the education of MH professionals for the betterment of patients.

Will @US_FDA listen to & act on what real experts said about #SSRIs? @joannamoncrieff: "SSRIs don't work." @DrMcFillin: "It’s an epidemic of iatrogenic harm." @taperclinic: "Update the labels to reflect what the science is showing." @DrDavidHealy: "Doctors defer to the label…

For those prescribed an SSRI? Was it inferred that you had a brain illness? A “genetic” condition? Were you informed that SSRI’s have never outperformed non pharmacological interventions? Given the potential for harm and known adverse health effects… were you provided adequate…

Oops: On Joe Rogan’s podcast in September 2018, Tulsi Gabbard acknowledged that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Rogan called it “amazing” that it took until 2016 for foreign election influence to become a major issue in the U.S.

Had an incredible opportunity to visit the FDA and speak with Commissioner @MartyMakary about a critically overlooked issue: how antidepressants—especially when used during pregnancy—can lead to long-term neurological problems in children, including worsening anxiety and…

Dr. Mark Horowitz (@markhoro) breaks down why the new JAMA Psychiatry study is dangerous. By ignoring long-term users, researchers give false reassurance about withdrawal risks. People suffer severe symptoms and are told it's in their head. Medical gaslighting institutionally.
