The insidious thing about psychiatry is that you have to take medicatiion for life and when you defy and stop on your own and your symptoms worsen- psychiatry gaslights you, threatens you with court ordered indefinite committment and brands you a difficult patient with persistent chronic mental illness. Fortunately, I fought the system and I won. 7 years free, still not "normal", but definitely ALIVE.

@@Zaan1028 I live in USA. Each state has different laws, but many will commit you to institutionalized care under a court order if you do not comply with a psychiatrist's determination that you need medication AND pose a danger to yourself or others. However, the medical professional's testimony on danger is always accepted over the patient's so a court commitment is approved nearly 100% when mental health authorities seek one.

If he went to a psychiatrist or psychologist they wouldn’t do a brain scan, just talk to him or put him on meds. The whole industry needs to be overhauled

I swear nurse Rachette was once my doctor. I could totally see her running one of those 1950's insane asylums where the staff had more problems than the patients. I can picture her gleefully administering electroshock from a wall socket without anesthesia, or ice-picking a kid's frontal lobe for touching himself. But fortunately most were good people, with strong ethics and pure motives. Some of those unfortunately were also victims of some of big pharma's marketing departments. Kind of like some doctors actually believed drug reps who pushed Oxycontin for skinned knees. The rest though were bright enough to see through the crap and made a good faith effort to help me and actually did help. Similar to drugs, some are awful quack cures that do more harm than good, others do help, at least a little. And nothing comes without a cost, side effects, addiction and etc. Some conditions are worth the cost. I say that after having been through withdrawal identical to what the doctor described, and what I think can be called torture at the hands of Rachette. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, not even if it is a red headed stepchild.

I know ten year old children who are diagnosed with three disorders at the same time: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder AND bipolar disorder. They are on five, even six medications, including anti-psychotics. It is appalling. As far as I'm concerned, psychiatry is evil and most psychiatrist are mean, ignorant people who love to label and pathologize everything. Freud never intended to have two separate treatments in his field of study. Psychiatry is a useless appendage that needs to be cut off.

I was forced to take these drugs for my entire childhood, along with stimulants and antipsychotics. By the time I was 18 I had been declared unfit to take care of myself by the state and was fat, severely depressed, psychotic, and frequently in the mental hospital. Shortly thereafter I decided to defy my parents and stop taking medication. Within a few months my mental and physical state improved vastly. Over the past two years I've transformed into someone who's independent, getting good grades at uni (I was so disabled as a child that I couldn't attend middle or high school), physically fit, and decently content. The psychiatric industry is mostly a scam which only exists to create justification for its continued existence. By harming people with drugs as an excuse to give them more overpriced "services".

That is an important observation.

I have heard from people in the medical field that doctors are the way they are because patients don't listen and just want pills rather than lifestyle changes to fix problems even simple things changing dressing on wounds, staying hydrated and avoiding processed foods patients neglect. So I'm not sure who is to blame, I think people have bought into a lie and expect more from medicine and pharmaceuticals than they are able to provide. Our health is our own hands, and I think most people can't handle that.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how gnarly. You're strong. I'm glad you're being helped. Can't believe the sickos earth produces. Anyway, talk therapy can never get to the root. Try something that actually can help -- and will. Try hypnotherapy -- with an excellent clinician. You may even be surprised to learn that your problems didn't start there. Hypnotherapy not only works but is short-term therapy, less than 10 sessions. You can wait until after your settlement, or do it before, but either way I want you to promise me you will at least try it. It's common to travel just for sessions with an expert. Peace to you my friend. Things are going to work out. You're going to have a fresh new start. All those old emotions and feelings. You don't need them anymore. You just need a secure situation to process them out for good. Erase the paradox.

All of them demolish the journalist because she said GP's haven't knowledge enough to precribe SSRI's and their ego was attaked.

My elderly mom had been on wellbutrin for years (started when the last of the kids moved out of the house and "empty nest syndrome" was coined and pathologised). She also took blood pressure meds to control the hypertension caused by wellbutrin. She was weaned off the wellbutrin slowly decades later. Her blood pressure meds were also discontinued and her BP normalised. But she had trouble sleeping (likely continued withdrawals, in hindsight). Her doctor put her on clonazepam, which didn't help with sleep, and she became paranoid to the point requiring hospitalisation. The consulting psychiatrist gave Lexapro and Zyprexa, and my mom became psychotic. My mom lives at home now, but requires a caregiver for everyday tasks. I don't trust any antidepressants or anti anxiety medication, or those who prescribe them. It's an industry that cares more about profits than people.

So, so sorry about your Mom. What they do to the elderly is criminal. My Mom had some anxiety and the GP put her on a mixture of SSRIs - can’t remember the names but know that one was a benzo. When I visited (live in a different country) I couldn’t believe how sickly she had become and how many problems she had. I researched the meds and told her doc she has to come off them. Didn’t want to help her but I insisted. It took 8 months - she’d “only “ been on them for about 2 years - then when I was back overseas, my Mom went to the GP again because of problems sleeping. Lo and behold, she once again prescribed some psycho-pharmaceuticals! Fortunately, I found out almost immediately and stopped my Mom from taking them. Now, two years later and at age 90, she is healthy and vital again - some damage remains - but she is so thankful I insisted she get off them! She says she’ll never touch them again. Unfortunately, I never had the same influence on my MIL, who in one year has become bedridden, hardly knows she’s alive. 😢. I hate these destroyers of lives. Even more egregious is getting children on these things. Absolutely criminal.

This is a sin. My late veteran pal in excellent shape; could still walk twenty km; underwent dreadful episodes with anti depressants as did a girl in town, in training for the Olympics as a long distance runner and a PhD student at university and what both of them went through was indescribable; highly over excited and people blamed THEM for misbehaviour. What is worse, they blamed themselves; I wish I could have done more for them but at the time I had limited understanding of just how risky these anti depressants may be. I emailed an American doc I had met years ago and asked if their great physical fitness could have influenced how they processed the anti depressants and he said yes it could.

Within a year, I had been hospitalized twice and had a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, which then turned into a schizophrenia diagnosis, and I was on Thorazine and a long list of other heavy antipsychotics, got hospitalized several times before, at 16, I refused to take any more medications, was made a ward of the state, went through several months of youth detention and then a year of the Vision Quest program. Been on my own ever since, and the first 20 years of that was severe alcoholism, which was brought on by the ritalin, which made me an insomniac. Psychiatry robbed me of half of my lifetime.

The saddest thing is that Psychologists exist, but they have the inverse problem that Psychiatrists have. While a Psychiatrist thinks that the only thing that can solve issues is meds (since that's what they've been trained to do), a Psychologist will think the opposite in that anything except meds will do the trick. That said, I imagine a lot of us wouldn't need either of them if we weren't getting to late stage capitalism.

Unless you absolutely need it I agree to stay away from that stuff. I got put on anti depressants by my primary care provider for shortness of breath. And I only took one pill but that was the worst 24 hours of my life. I am probably more sensitive to the pills then others but from my experience it made my emotions fluctuate so much. Just a roller coaster of emotions. I went from a complete lack of any feeling, which was terrifying in of itself, to feeling intense anger to feeling incredible sadness and crying uncontrollably.

Give your child sodium ascorbate every hour or so when they have a cough, make sure to drink enough water though. About 1/4 teaspoon a few times a day (about every hour), if it’s the NutriBiotic brand. Research Dr. Suzanne Humphries, she speaks about high dose vit C. To calculate dosage, divide child’s weight in pounds by 2.2, then multiply by 375. This is the total number of mg one should take during waking hours each day, divided into frequent dosages. For example, there is 1112 mg of vitamin C in 1/4 tsp (one dose) of Nutribiotic sodium ascorbate. For a child who weighs 40 lbs, the dosage would be about six 1/4 tsp doses throughout the day. This can be divided into smaller, more frequent doses if needed.

Fifteen years later, I tried to come off as the doctor instructed, cutting the dose in half over several months. That didn't work, and I reinstated, then found the surviving antidepressants site. I finished my taper the proper way, but my nervous system had already been shaken up. Six and a half years later, I'm dealing with protracted withdrawal, although it is getting better very slowly.

I managed to get off all the meds in a couple of years and live a fulfilling life. At the time, though, I thought, it would be interesting if psychiatrists could experience what we patients were going through on the drugs. And now it's happening.

@@JakeHambyZ80My friend was prescribed Lithium due to being misdiagnosed. He had PTSD as a child but they treated him for bipolar disorder which he didn’t have. He is now a shell of himself. A former captain of the football team, high school homecoming king, graduated from an Ivy League college, became a lawyer, got married, then lost it all including getting divorce papers served. Plus he developed neuropathy. He is emotionally stunted, cannot socialize well, misses social cues during conversations, and lives alone on $1300 a month of social security income. It is difficult having a normal conversation with him without him getting irate and start shouting about things going wrong with the world. He knows what happened to him but can do nothing about it. The lithium changed his brain and made him act bipolar. Ruined his health as well.

Irving Kirsch, a Harvard psychologist and leading researcher in the field of placebo studies, pointed out fifteen years ago in his book The Emperor's New Drugs that SSRI antidepressants were no better than placebo.

It always struck me that if antidepressants treated depression the same way that antibiotics treated bacterial infections, they'd have a street value. Benzodiazepines have a street value, because they have effects that people desire. I think they give SSRIs just for the sake of giving something when they don't know what else to do. In any case, addiction without even so much as euphoria or relief is perverse, and I think that people experiencing the side effects of the medicine concurrent with any fluctuations of their depression tend to misattribute their recovery to the medicine as a result.

I think antidepressants make you feel so awful that you realise you weren't so bad before you started taking them. I went to my GP years ago complaining that I was feeling depressed because I was being badly bullied at work and straight away the doctor wrote out a prescription for Sertraline. I hadn't spoken to her longer than 5 minutes! Naturally I researched Sertraline - I would never allow anything into my body that I hadn''t fully researched - and I didn't take them. Even when she wrote out the prescription I was thinking how can a drug help me with being bullied at work? Depression is almost always caused by bad things happening in one's life, which is not something drugs can do anything about, they can only numb the senses which doesn't help with anything. Just being able to talk to someone about what's bothering them can be really helpful, but GPs just don't seem to have the time these days. Crazy system. In the long run, if the doctor spent a bit longer with a patient at the initial consultation they could save so much time and money (for the overly-prescribed drugs) later on.

My daughter nearly died from a systemic allergic reaction to Wellbutrin. This condition is called DRESS syndrome which stands for "drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms." It is a rare condition and many doctors are not even aware of it or the potential complications. She was misdiagnosed on multiple occasions in ER settings. By the time she was admitted to a hospital, the rash had covered her entire body and she looked as if she'd been badly burned. The edema caused a weight gain of 30 pounds in just a few days. She was unrecognizable and suffered terribly. Major organs were shutting down and if it hadn't been for IV steroids and stopping the offending drug, she would have died. We were lucky to have an hospitalist MD on duty who diagnosed her correctly and had experience with this drug reaction. This was ten years ago, and she still suffers from auto-immune issues and skin eruptions. No one told her that this was a possibility. Anyway, she has never taken another drug of any kind since that horrifying experience.

@grummelameise 7 месяцев назад
expertise because i am an autistic with adhd, and i had HUGE sideeffects on stimulants, thats why I read up on the sideeffects. wellbutrin is essentially a stimulant, but listed as antidepressant. since I quit eating grains, dairy and seed oils, I can take stimulants without any side effects. my problems were nausea, puffy face, skin irritations, huge migraines that lasted for two days, and much more. it was essentially like having food poisening, like when you eat spoiled fish. but vomiting didnt help, and when it passed, i had to recover for one week. the headaches were the absolute worst. really really bad. heat and cold rushes. sweating. i had these thing all my life, but always mildly. another indication is intolerance to alcohol, and frequent tummy aches, constant passing of gas, bad experiences on the toilet. recently, i ate black lentils, oh boy, that was a huge mistake. i was sick for 4 days. so, on essence: stimulants can make your food intolerances way worse. your daughter should try the following: no legumes (peanuts, beans, lentils), no grains (ALL grains, also rice), no dairy (ABSOLUTELY no dairy), no seed oils for good measure (inflammatory with high probability). your daughter will experience effects in the fourth day. 2 weeks for trying out is sufficient. she will see the results in her face pretty quickly. hair and nails will get better, stomach will be feeling great. ok, good luck. and if she doesnt have all these intolerances, then quitting those food groups for two weeks will not harm her at all. normally, food intolerances get worse with time, unless you quit eating the culprits. oh yeah.

@ysay8327 You cannot really assume anything. You also raise an excellent point- the chicken vs. egg thing. Every person and their health situation is unique. Some people are naturally unbalanced. Maybe born that way- parents did drugs, or genes, etc. Some are born to be alcoholics and various types of addicts/addictive personalities. Some are born to be bad people; others to be angels. My dog is clearly an angle. It's it his destiny. I know some people who were touched by the devil to be bad. It's the ying/yang thing. The universe needs both- hot/cold, up/down, happy and sad, etc. There is a reason people seek meds in the first place. I never had. I feel fortunate for that. I don't even take aspirin. I don't have a clear answer for you- which is rare. I will say however that the larger pattern reveals that most often, when introducing DRUGS to an already unbalanced situation (person) and when those drugs are taken for say more then a week- all bets are off. I see them as doing by far MORE damage and harm then good. For some, drugs may help balance them or make their symptoms feel better but they never address the root cause. If instead of for-profit drugs, a person obsesses over nutrition; cuts out harmful processed foods, begins to exercise; has friends and is social; takes vacations and has fun in the sun; works a carreer they love and has a cause and reason to wake up every day, I think most of their ANXIETY (fear of the future) will melt away. DEPRESSION is living in the PAST. I live in the PRESENT. Drugs are designed to make your mind week so you are more easily controlled- so you become a zombie and paying customer for life. These same "professionals" will still perform labotomies on people- it's still legal. Think about that. Most all of them only care about getting your money. If you are well, you are not a paying customer. Are you still sometimes FEEL anxious? Notice, I did not say, are YOU anxious. There is a difference. We can all feel many things. The trick is to not become your label. Focus on other things and help others. I bet you are a great person- sensitive and caring.

I was a disability lawyer for 15 years. I have read 1000s of chart notes. So even though what I know is just anecdotal, it’s based on 1000s of individual medical records. I can say with complete confidence and certainty that exactly zero of my clients ever got even a bit better off long term pharma of any sort. They didn’t even maintain. They deteriorated. Consistently. I can think of no one whose health improved from long term pharma use. They all gradually got worse, developed more problems, and ended up on higher doses and More meds. Consistently over 15 years. Pharma never cured a soul. They don’t want people cured. They want them sick for life but not deathly sick. Somewhat sick populace is a cash cow for pharma and the medical industry.

I am so sorry that you have gone through all this Mark, and still going through it but so glad you are sharing your story. I found Surviving antidepressants in 2013 and started to taper my antidepressant that I had been taking for 11 years. I also went too fast and reinstated. It took 3 years to taper off a very small dose. Then started with the tramadol. That was another nightmare. I had been taking tramadol for 10 years when I started to taper. It took 7 years of very careful tapering to be free of tramadol and had been taking it for 17 years. It is a year since my last dose which was very very tiny. I now refuse any drugs, because I can not tolerate them. Thank you for warning others.

Tapering off Mirtazapine almost twenty years ago was a nightmare. No doctor would listen regarding the horrible withdrawal effects. They all hand waived it away as my "disease" worsening due to my failure to "comply". SSRIs ruined my life, and caused me to subsequently develop severe ulcerative colitis years later.

Thank you for this. I was put on Paxil for situational depression (I was in my late twenties caring for my mother who was sick while working full time). They didn't help and years later I went off it. I had zero idea there was a withdrawal, no one told me about the dangers of SSRIs. Long story short it was pure hell. Two weeks later I had the worst anxiety I could even explain. Much like the way you describe it. Back then there wasn't much on it, so I googled Paxil withdrawal. There were so many stories of the hell I was experiencing. I had to go back on. I already had autoimmune issues so it was the lesser of two evils. I am still on .5. I was on 10mg. Anyway, I haven't tried again due to fear. Thank you for the work you are doing.

I was put on antidepressants on different occasions with horrible side effects and weight gain. Threw them away. I take Zolpidem 10 mg at night for sleep I've bin on this for 20 years.

All of these combined are incredibly important. And you might want to add in intermittent fasting to regenerate cells in your body.

I'm glad men are speaking up about it and it's not his fault her work has not been taken seriously, but I hope he uses his platform to credit Ashton a lot, since the medical community won't do it. There are btw also female doctors who've written, spoken, made documentaries and founded organizations about this. Haven't seen them getting the same kind of respect and attention from the medical community.

Most importantly, she BELIEVED the sufferers and took the work on with no skin in the game.

I think antibiotics and sickness in youth can affect depression later in life. (Things like PANS). I think people with gut issues can be set up for depression/anxiety. I got hurt by Prozac, Cymbalta, and a few others within days, so I do not suggest using antidepressants to treat anything. Even with that strong “aversion” to antidepressants, I still fell for the idea an as needed benzodiazepine was okay. (Worse mistake ever). Even that took stopping and starting a half dozen times to where I got so hurt that it could be nothing else. I had no idea medications could cause this kind of living misery.

My pain clinic put me on Cymbalta for cervical stenosis pain in addition to epidurals. After I missed 2 doses and by the 3rd evening, I had severe palpitations, racing thoughts, and ringing ears. Once i took my dose that evening, I felt better within hours. After the 2nd time I forgot my dose and the symptoms hit, I got really worried. It was such an uncomfortable happening that i decided to look up Cymbalta withdrawls and was gobsmacked with the numbers of people who had trouble weaning off. At that realization, I decided not to continue. I did the bead count method, removing 1 EXTRA tiny bead out of my capsules every other day. My capsules contained approximately 77 beads, so it took me quite a while to be fully tapered.

I’ve been on as much as 60 mg but am on 20mg at present. Cymbalta really was a lifesaver for me. I had no side effects while starting and none while tapering off. It really helped with my pain too. When tapering off all I did was go from 60 to 40 over two weeks and then 40 to 20 and then 20 to nothing.
