Antidep Risks. Mirt & Sert. PSSD/Anhedonia. Also ME/CFS | “This message is simple, yet it gets forgotten. The people living with the condition are the experts.”

One of the problems of navigating prescribed harm is that everybody has a different story, yet the one common thread running through all of them is being told it’s you, not the drugs.

[Candace D. @DiaryofaSickGrl]

One of the exhausting parts of being chronically ill is not just having to educate yourself about your illnesses, but having to educate literally everyone around you: doctors, family, friends, etc because NO ONE knows anything about them.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

Don’t let them use your personality, background or medical history to deflect from prescribed harm. It’s an injury like any other.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

Those harmed by antidepressants are as important as those helped by them. Why are only the former described as a mob, lobby or trolls by mental health professionals?

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

@jill_d35 Thank you Jill

The difficulty with invisible illness is others will focus on what you’re not doing rather than what you are, which is often miraculous.

[Timothie Lustpith @lustpith]

It is incredibly hard and frightening to come to terms with this:

The worst mistake of my life was trusting people whose job was to help me. And their ethical responsibility was to protect me from harm while in their care.

Like my health, my trust in people is shattered.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

Being “chained and displayed for entertainment” will look like a high point compared to modern day med-induced horrors like Akathisia and PSSD in centuries to come.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

The hardest thing about having ME/CFS, PSSD or any severe unrecognised illness: unimaginable symptoms combined with unrelenting gaslighting.

[Alyne Duthie @DuthieAlyne]

There is. Take the case of PSSD, PFS and PRSD which 'now join a growing group of significant adverse effects that have taken over three decades from the point of first description to a linkage to treatment'. Notably, these patients faced ridicule, they weren't believed.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

@drjanaway GPs tapering advice, for instance, being take one every other day for two weeks and stop. Not knowing only a brief time on a drug can cause long-term symptoms. No knowledge of Akathisia, Anhedonia or PSSD. The list is endless.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

When you say “imperfect” do you mean unsafe?

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

The arrogance of the term “anti-psychiatry” - the idea that people’s aim can only be to attack your profession rather than voice their own suffering.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

“Young people destroyed by PSSD are requesting euthanasia” - as much due to the loss of their emotions as the removal of their sexuality, after stopping antidepressants.

[Dee @Deedoherty2]

Enduring Sexual Dysfunction is a problem faced already faced by 10's of 1000's of people with Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS), Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), & Post-Retinoid Sexual Dysfunction (PRSD).

Young people destroyed by PSSD are requesting euthanasia.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

No surprises - another article about antidepressants without any mention of Akathisia, Anhedonia or PSSD - devastating long-term symptoms that can occur after stopping the drugs.

[Dr. Roger McFillin @DrMcFillin]

There is a horrible trend in psychiatrically drugging people who are artistic, creative, empathic, compassionate, sensitive & care deeply about people.

Remember... this is a gift & not an illness.

Resist at all costs the attempts being made for you to identify as disordered.

[Dantidepressant⚠️ @dantidepressa_t]

“Living as a prisoner in one’s own body, incapable of enjoying sunsets…or feeling any sense of excitement whatsoever is the kind of torture I could only have expected from science fiction. It is akin to having one’s emotions buried alive every single waking moment” - PFS & PSSD

@ColleenFuller Yes the use of “rare case” is ridiculous.

@mattatatt23 It's high time iatrogenic harm be taken seriously. It's unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of innocent and predominantly young patients suffer excruciating pain, anhedonia, cognitive dysfunction, and drug induced asexuality for simply trusting their doctors.
