My paralysed friend is struggling after being on Sertraline for 8 years, his Dr has suggested a swap to Mirtraz to help him sleep which I don’t massively object to. What I do get upset by is the advice to 1/2 the Sert dose for two weeks then stop completely! Drs need education.

Although there has generally been a slight increase each year in prescribing of antidepressants in England, the number of new prescriptions has been dropping the last several years. Citalopram on left. There is a similar pattern for sertraline but not to the same degree (right). These 2 antidepressants account for more than half of all prescriptions in England. Hard to know if this is down from a covid peak or is a longer trend (the data here goes back to 2020). Link to database below.

What if one of the most important questions in suicide assessment is missing? 💊

Did suicidal thoughts, agitation, or behavioral changes emerge after starting, stopping, or changing the dose of a medication?

If we don’t ask about the medication, we may mistake a serious adverse drug reaction for worsening mental illness.

Here’s my @BMJMedicine response: “The Missing Question in Suicide Assessment.”

@SGV_UK I too get fed up of not being ‘normal’ Shaun. I try to remind myself that there is no real normal & most neurotypical people are far from what they seem or profess to be. Life is hard, I hope you feel brighter soon.

@m_aadil Ineffective & dangerous drugs prescribed bc of marketing lies & fiddling studies are not ‘care’ knob head.

@AndyBurnhamGM Not reading all that mate, just be honest & say you’re going to persecute the average man like everyone before you.

@AlexTaylorNews Why?

Earths been through multiple ice ages & so forth minus any form of human/industrial influence. The earth’s climate always will & always has changed.

Even if we were remotely responsible do you not think war & blowing everything up may be a bigger culprit than cow fart?

@DavidPerlmutter Why do you gaslight patients & protect psychiatry when patients have been harmed by meds. Why won’t you acknowledge the truth?

[Gid @Gavchunter]

The mother fucking sadist that posted this claiming it’s anti psych bunk SHOULD NOT be working with people at ALL. He’s blocked me, @tylerblack32 you’ve saved yourself a long ranting rollocking there…

🧵 As Lauren Friedman (@lololizzle) so powerfully describes here in her recent testimony, psychiatric drugs can strip away “the most central, intoxicating, worthwhile, and fulfilling parts of the human experience.”

She was speaking at the May 4 MAHA summit about her experience of Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)—a condition that can emerge or persist after stopping psychiatric drugs, particularly those that act on serotonin such as SSRIs and SNRIs.

For those affected, this involves not only the loss of sexual function, but a profound emotional numbness. For Lauren, it means a loss of feeling love for her own mother, a loss of connection with friends and loss of pleasure in music and songwriting.

We know many of you have had similar experiences even while still taking antidepressants—and these adverse effects are among the most frequently cited reasons people choose to stop these drugs (source below).

Some of you reading this may well be tapering right now because of these effects. We'd love to hear from you:

How did psychiatric drugs affect your relationships with family, friends, or partners?

How did it affect your ability to love and to feel loved—something so deeply human?

Your experiences really do matter. Sharing them helps others feel less alone and better informed as they consider their options. (1/3)

@HenryRunamucker The “I was harmed by an SSRI” bit makes me feel violently angry towards him. He/they really don’t care do they!
