Do you feel annoyed when someone says antidepressents helped them?

[Guest guest]

Its the idiots that say antidepressents helped them or saved their life

that is making these antidepressents so popular. Their equally to

blame as the evil pychatrists and drug companies who give out these

castrating drugs. I just feel like punching them. I still hate the

pychatrist the worst though. Their making 100 of thousands of dollars

by castrating people by drugs.

no i dont blame those people who felt the need to take antidepressants

and had some benefit from taking them for some people thats their

honest experience .

I am fucking livid about the whole culture of secrecy and playing down

of psychiatric side effects while we all service the moronic brain

doctors we call psychiatrists who have done more to harm people than

help them.

My doctor who originally drugged me with Prozac has just sent me a

letter in which he says " I unreservedly appologise " and admits

pressuring me into taking Prozac.His original response was to avoid all

responsibility but i made him face up to the fact that he did force me

into it.

I urge all of you to do the same and to ask your doctors and

psychiatrists to either justify the course of treatment they subjected

you to or face legal action . FUCK PSYCHIATRY.

Very interesting. If his letter amounts to some sort of admission of

coercion, I would take it to the next step. Send a copy of his

letter to the UK medical governing bodies and sue the bastard. Make

an example of him. If more " psychiatrists " were made examples of,

they would think twice about pushing these poisons.

Your anger is understandable, but it seems both pointless and cruel to blame

your fellow

victims. It may surprise you to know that antidepressants do help people and

save lives.

I'm extremely dismayed that what I was told were temporary side effects have

proved

long-lasting, but if I had the option of stepping into a time machine and

choosing a

different course of treatment, I'm honestly not sure what I'd decide. I do know

that no

treatment would have been a really bad option.

As for the drug companies, sure, they're horrible. As is the case with just

about all large

corporations today, the pharmaceutical industry has only one concern--short-term

profit--and they don't care how many people are hurt in the process, just so

long as it

doesn't affect the bottom line. (By an uncanny coincidence, I watched The

Constant

Gardener earlier tonight. The story is fictional in its particulars, but I have

no doubt the

gist of it is fairly true to life.)

Hello, by the way. This is my first post, although I've been lurking in the

shadows off and

on for quite a while.

Yeah the doctor has appologised for a number of things in his

letter, thanked me for bringing my complaint to his attention and

outlined how he will do things differently in his surgery in

future,describing it as " a learning experience " .

He appologised for having " encouraged/`forced` " me into taking

Prozac.This is all a complete change of tune.

When i saw him earlier this year he asked me why i had been

prescribed Prozac in 1996 (despite that he was the GP who prescribed

it).I asked him if he wanted the " reality or what the record shows "

and he actually laughed at me.

I was very angry at this appointment and told him " there was nothing

ever wrong with me that i needed brain-altering drugs for " .He then

had the audacity to note on my records after that appointment that

i " needed to go on SSRI`s for 4 months "

I dont give a flying toss about his `appology` and he has invited me

into his surgery to discuss and resolve anything im unhappy about

obviously wanting to deal with this all `in-house`.I will be passing

on my complaint to the healthcare commission in England now that its

gone through its initial stage and he can talk to them about it.

If there is any possibility that i can sue him i will on principle

[Guest guest]

so he actually admitted in the letter that he forced you? sounds to me like you

caught him and that will stand in court.

I blame myself more than drug companies and doctors. Sure, they

deserve some blame, but I'm responsible for my own actions. I'm just

unneccessarily paying for a mistake I made 6 years ago. My #1 goal

is to get better, getting " revenge " on those I feel are responsible

won't move me any closer to recovery. The best revenge is to get

better and live a good life. As the saying goes.

I don't understand why you would choose to blame yourself.

I think people who harm others should be held accountable for their

actions, whoever they are. Without any accountability, civilization

would fall apart and we would return to anarchy. You were deceived

about the long-term safety of these drugs and based on the

information you were given, you didn't make any mistake. You were

just given false information.
