I came across this stack via Adrian Gaty. I have experienced the consequences of this first hand. In my twenties following trauma and again in my 30's postpartum I was convinced to try several antidepressants. One real humdinger of a psychiatrist even told me to my face that he was looking forward to experimenting on me (with different ssri's) 😳 I should have run immediately- I did shortly after. None of them ever really worked, I saw small, temporary improvements but they were always short-lived and I always knew something was still wrong. And I believe I am still dealing with the side effects to this day (most notably, weight gain but I am fairly certain there are other hidden issues as well). Thank you for your advocacy and I'm encouraged that even a small handful of professionals are willing to seek the truth and speak out on this. Thank you!

These drugs did me far more harm than good. I lost my life and family to these mind altering drugs. It's a wonder I lived to talk about it. I nearly died from heart failure, repeated bouts Antipsychotic induced hyponatremia that landed me in ICU, numerous blood transfusions etc etc. I even I had to have heart surgery. I am off all the drugs now and at 65 I am far healthier now than I was in my 40's and hopelessly poly drugged.
