Psychiatric drug withdrawal is a major problem in the world. Do u know that these drugs cause brain zaps, tinnitus, blurry vision, akathisia,hallucinations etc?

Psychiatric drug withdrawal can be a very lonely time. The process is very long and alienating. Friends and family don’t always understand what is going on, especially for patients that look normal and don’t show severe physical symptoms. Know you are not alone. #prescribedharm

New study shows that over the past 4 years, public trust in medicine has fallen from nearly 80% to 40%, one of the most rapid declines in history.

Does anyone have any idea why?

I am convinced that Medicating Normal is the best documentary ever made about how psychiatric drugs destroy people. Everyone with an interest in psychiatry must see this brilliant and very moving film. More than once, actually. Can be seen for free: https://t.co/uA2tnq14GJ

A study led by Dr. Christy Huff found that over half of those experiencing enduring anxiety after stopping benzodiazepines were not initially prescribed them for anxiety. Full study here: https://t.co/5NIER4Q4tP

It's totally absurd.
I took an SSRI because I had PMS and felt too emotional. And now I am begging to get my feelings back every second of my day.
For more than 2 years. Never thought it's possible to lose one's emotions for life.

Christy worked tirelessly for the benzo community. She helped and supported me when I was still a resident introducing me to many of my colleagues in the benzo recovery space and encouraging me to speak at conferences and to news outlets about the benzo disaster when I was still nervous to do so . We will miss you dearly and thank you for the all the fight you put into this space.

Pfizer knew about anti depressant withdrawal and chose to bury it as it would harm sales. Thousands, including myself given the wrong advice and severely harmed by withdrawal, it nearly cost me my life. Yet have Pfizer been held to account? Is there any support for withdrawal?

@BStulberg I’m 11 yrs off sertraline & still waiting on the sexual, cognitive & emotional dysfunction it caused to subside. It’s ruined my life. I’m sure some people do benefit from them but they are catastrophic to others & you owe it to your patients to fully inform them of these risks.

[MedWithdrawal @MedWithdrawal]

May you rest in peace @christyhuffMD

Thank you for all you have done for the benzo harmed community. You will be solely missed.

Condolences to Christy’s family. May you all find the strength to get through this very difficult time.

Yes stopping psychiatric drugs such as #antidepressants & #benzodiazepines can lead to Tinnitus which is ringing in the ears. This can be constant or intermittent. This can be temporary meaning it heals after some time or it can be permanent & never go away. #ThingsDrsWontTellYou

[Bob 'Fiddy' Fiddaman💜🇵🇦 @Fiddaman]

Received countless emails from mom's, dad's, husband's and wives, who have lost loved ones to SSRI-induced suicide. They reached out because they wanted a platform to share their stories as the prescribers didn't believe them.

Their pain is, more than likely, increased when reading virtue signalling tweets such as the one posted below by a self-proclaimed omnipotent one.

[Chris Paige @ChrisPaigeLCSW]

My own experience with psychiatric drug withdrawal was excruciating and terrifying. After being "medically detoxed" off of 1.25 mg of Klonopin in 5 days, I suffered over 100 symptoms including severe akathisia for years.

[Chris Paige @ChrisPaigeLCSW]

Psychiatric drug withdrawal is so horrific that almost every coaching client I have is convinced they are the only one experiencing symptoms this severe. The experience can be so excruciating that its impossible to believe that there are other people who feel the same way.

[Bob 'Fiddy' Fiddaman💜🇵🇦 @Fiddaman]

Natalie would have been 30 today.

Her prescription for Zoloft was increased over the phone by an over-zealous prescriber.

Hours later she died an horrific death.

Such a beautiful soul.

Draconian State laws in Virginia meant her mother could not file a wrongful death claim.

"A jury awards over $8 million after a man died by suicide less than a month after being prescribed Citalopram"

Records show the patient was prescribed 20 mg of Citalopram daily .5 mg of Xanax, up to three times as needed for panic attacks. https://t.co/gvytpD2jaX

“Rising antidepressant prescribing is not associated with an improvement in mental health outcomes at the population level, which, according to some measures, have worsened as antidepressant prescribing has risen.”
