It took a freedom of information act to expose the truth. The drug makers have been hiding the negitive studies.

Now a new Study: Antidepressants Work No Better Than Placebos for the vast majority of depressed people.
medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/
The drug makers have been out right lying about the efficacy of antidepressants.They have been caught red handed.
For the majority of people, the drugs are no better then snake oil.
If the only problem was that, the drug is a placebo for the vast majority people who have been given it, I would not care.
But it is far from the only problem!
The Physicians' Desk Reference lists the following adverse reactions (side effects) to antidepressants among a host of other physical and neuropsychiatric effects: manic reaction (mania, e.g. kleptomania, pyromania, dipsomania), emotional lability (or instability), abnormal thinking, alcohol abuse, hallucinations, hostility, lack of emotion, paranoid reaction, amnesia, confusion, agitation, delirum, delusions, hysteria, psychosis, sleep disorders, abnormal dreams, and discontinuation (withdrawal) syndrome. Adverse reactions are especially likely when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another SSRI. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms could be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced). Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can also cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, usually over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced specialist.
In addition to the adverse reactions listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference, the FDA published a Public Health Advisory on March 22, 2004 which states (in part): "Anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric."
The vast majority of school and other recent massacres have involved people going on or coming off these drugs.
Many otherwise loving parents have killed their own children wile going on or coming off these drugs.

I have personally witnessed some who who became scary psychotic and violent wile in withdrawal. Someone who is normally highly, intelligent gentle, kind and loving. This is a person I dearly love.
For some people the often horrendous withdrawal effects last for years after quitting.
Withdrawal effects such as Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempts, Homicidal thoughts or urges, Chest pain, racing heart, Auditory hallucinations, Visual hallucinations, Disequilibrium, Serious Headache, Numbness, burning, Electric zap-like sensations in the brain, Electric shock-like sensations in the body, Abnormal visual sensations, Spasms in the eyes, Loud ringing or other noises in the ears, Abnormal smells or tastes, Drooling, Slurred speech, Blurred vision, Muscle cramps, stiffness, twitches and much more. Most people describe it as hell.
Frequency of withdrawal reactions
Antidepressant______halflife_______Frequency of withdrawal reactions
Effexor____________5 hours_____________78%
Paxil_____________21 hours_____________66%
Zoloft____________26 hours_____________60%
Prozac___________4-6 days_____________14%
People can become completely incapacitated by SSRI withdrawal.

Suicide, homicide, nightmare side effects all for a drug that is little more then snake oil for the majority of people.

Re: They were right about one thing
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 11:02 PMThis is propaganda, yes the FDA needs to be addressed and serious reactions need to be placed into effect.
nothing to do with Scientology so far as I can see
please explain in your words what you would like to see in this discussion. I am open and non judging but I feel you are taking this somewhere not included in the tribes description -

Sorry I took so long to respond
Thu, May 8, 2008 - 10:07 PMWe actually wouldn't not know a lot of the info the industry has recently been busted on with out Scientology. Many of their people have worked with the movement to expose the truth about SSRIs and they have spent a lot of money doing much needed research on the corruption.
I appreciate the help we have gotten from them even if I do not buy in to the religion.
I do not see my post as propaganda. I have lost a friend to this drug and seen some one become very violent on the drug.
Are you aware that most school massacrers have one thing in common? SSRIs
I am most definitely NOT a Scientologist but I get accused of being one a lot because of the work I do.
People are rarely all good or all bad. I am just saying Scientology has done some good. (I do wish they were not so extreme with the message tho, because it is harmful to the movement and makes us all look crazy. After all many of our best activists are psychiatrists such as Dr. Glenmullen, Dr Peter R. Breggin and Dr. Ann Blake Tracy)
This is so much bigger then "the FDA needs to be addressed and serious reactions need to be placed into effect." You need more info in order to understand. These drugs are causing many people to become psychotic and violent. Believe me you have only seen the tip of a huge iceberg. Once people know all the facts they do not take it lightly. Maybe you do not know as much about Scientology as you think.

Re: They were right about one thing
Mon, July 7, 2008 - 6:35 PMThe drug companies are crooked as fuck. They did get that right. However, their rationale for this is WAY off.
Scientologists believe that little demons called thetans will attach themselves to you and they hide in illegal drugs, so you can catch them like germs by doing certain things the church doesnt approve of. Getting rid of these pesky entities is $expensive$ and requires scientology courses to become clear. Strangely, only the drugs the US government considers illegal have thetans, but alcohol, tobacco, coffee and other socially acceptable drugs dont have any thetans....weird huh?
