@samhall404 Sorry to hear this Sam, you have suffered enough. These doctors don’t know anything about CYPs. I have the same thing going on with fluoxetine and propranolol and CYP2D6. I hope you get some relief soon.

@madisonmama89 Interested, how much please?

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@lindslinds_6 Hi there, interested, how much pls?

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@angpeacock1111 Sorry for your loss Angie. Protracted withdrawal is truly awful. You are doing an amazing job of shining a light on this for us all ❤️

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@DrAnnieHickox @AhmadRehanKhan @DrJosefWD Most people who were not on the meds for long! There is a large and growing population of people sadly in protracted withdrawal lasting years. This problem is only getting bigger sadly and many practitioners cannot see it or refuse to see it (yet)…. It isn’t going to go away.

@BasedPsychMD Mirtazapine gets prescribed a lot for the elderly here in the UK with sleep issues. Terrible medication, sledgehammer to crack a nut.

@samhall404 You will get there Sam, you are a warrior.

@samhall404 @shakespeare34 @ProfRobHoward @Foreman1David @rcpsych Electing a person who has history of taking payments from drug companies is deeply troubling. Conflict of interest and lack of impartiality. Such an important time for UK psych, hope they don’t mess this up.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@drchatterjeeuk Not only they are not working they are causing iatrogenic harm and leave people hooked on ineffective meds. It’s criminal that doctors remain ill informed about this.

@BlackshepSusan Next benzo and opioid crisis incoming and yet still being dished out like smarties. We need more accessible talking therapy provision

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@samhall404 Well done Sam, an important topic and from my own experience when sitting still is terrifying you have captured it perfectly.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@PieAreSqwared Yeah I totally get this (I’ve walked and am still walking this path) and I bet the psychiatrists never warned you of the risk of harm. There is still a long way to go in education of psychiatrists. I mean ultimately they are just legalised drug pushers.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@omityah @PieAreSqwared SSRIs help because they numb difficult emotions. They also cause PSSD and increase the risk of suicidality in people during withdrawal. Your profession needs to be a lot clearer of the withdrawal risks and the risks in swapping medications.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@samhall404 Hi Sam, I recently got accepted by the Deprescribing service as well. Your story resonates very much with mine. I wish you well on the journey.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@BasedPsychMD Paroxetine is hands down the worst SSRI. Proven sexual dysfunction in 70% of people who take it. The true essence of a medication that lobotomises.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@thelucyjohnston @carlheneghan No one telling you how hard these meds are to get off or that withdrawal effects were not tested on patients who had only been on meds for 12 weeks is equally scandalous

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@DrMcFillin Loving your work. Keep calling them out.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@DrMcFillin It’s a fucking joke. Everytime I see a child on an SSRI, a part of me dies, child abuse is the right word.

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@markhoro Wish I knew this 18 years ago!

[Steve Morris @Mozzer3]

@DrMcFillin Sadly antidepressants are the next scandal after benzodiazepines and opioids.
