PrescribedHarm

The JAMA Psychiatry flawed paper on depression 💊 withdrawal, aiming, from my perspective, to minimise the long-term harms of these psychotropics, turns into another PR debacle, undermining the already stained reputation of establishment psychiatrists on a payroll of Big Harma.

Funny how the very people they call “antipsych” are the ones that were soooooo antipsych that they trusted the field of psychiatry and took their medications, only to end up injured from them. So very “antipsych” of them.

Psychiatry is not a pseudo-science. It’s an anti-science.

BBC Panorama reveals a confidential 1996 memo from Pfizer (Sertraline) who was reluctant to share the information about withdrawal symptoms to regulators in Norway "We shouldn’t volunteer to describe the withdrawal symptoms, but have an agreed list prepared in case they insist."

My biggest regret in life and biggest mistake I’ve EVER made is the day I turn up to my doctors office with increased stressed over uni. That day has has cost me greatly. I swallowed sertraline I felt high and confused. I would never step foot in a doctors office again.

It's always 'misinformation’ when it challenges pharmaceutical interests

The most dark part of this entire presentation Frightening

Things a high dose antipsychotic (Zyprexa, 5 - 20 mg) destroyed for me in ~1 year: mood, motivation, sleep pattern, metabolism, joint health, control over my movement, relationships. By any reasonable criteria, this is a poisonous substance for a physiology like mine.

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…

"I think there is an awakening in American culture where there is a valid distrust in institutions" - @DrMcFillin This is the hill I am willing to die on. I am glad we have this absolute chad speaking at the FDA. The tide is turning.

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…

Hey Dr. McFillin, the CEO of Winsantor Biotech wants to speak with you. He has a novel topical drug that can reverse peripheral neuropathy . He is very interested in studying PSSD patients . Next month, I will be receiving their drug under the FDA compassionate use exemption .

This person is a quadruple board certified psychiatrist and yet she doesn't know that antidepressants are dependence forming? How is that even possible?

Today we submitted a formal correction request to the editors of JAMA Psychiatry @JAMAPsych @dost_ongur in response to the recent Kalfas et al. review, which downplays the risks of antidepressant withdrawal by relying on short-term studies. Our letter outlines the dangerous…

The same people who recently concluded antidepressant withdrawal is 'downplayed' made millions from bigpharma while the people harmed by SSRIs lost everything. #prescribedharm

Lexapro being approved by the FDA for 7 year olds is unacceptable. There will likely be a large group of young children that develop PSSD, emotional blunting, and cognitive dysfunction. These children may never be able to experience a normal childhood and enjoy it with a fully…

Psychiatrists accused of 'cosplaying science' in a misleading study on antidepressant withdrawal ➡️Relies on 8-12wk studies and ignores harmed patients ➡️ 11/19 authors funded by BigPharma Me for @TheCanaryUK Comments from @markhoro and @JDaviesPhD thecanary.co/global/world-a…

For those who “hate” antidepressants maybe ask why. Maybe they were severely harmed by the very medications they were told would help. Maybe they lost years of their life, their health, their ability to feel love, connection, joy. Maybe they were left unable to work, parent, or…
