With all due respect, and acknowledging that suicide is indeed a serious issue,

I cannot help but think, sometimes, of the phrases " sleight of hand " and " red

herring " when most discussion of the consequences of SSRI use centers around the

issue of suicide.

For every person whose life has been ended as a sequel to ingestion of these

lucrative but ill-conceived drugs, there are tens of thousands who are being

killed inch by painful inch, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically,

from taking them. There are hundreds of thousands more who, by virtue of family

relationships to these drugged ones, or friendship, or workplace associations,

are having their lives trashed in stupid and ugly ways, short of overt physical

violence. gertie

Withdrawal

In the SSRI expert working groups' review of the data on Seroxat I

understand they will have been faced with presentations of the data

on withdrawal from Seroxat by the market authorisation holders.

These presentations to judge by material I have seen have made it

clear that the company has excluded a large number of reactions from

further analysis, owing to a prior determination that these

reactions are not caused by withdrawal.

Such reactions include respiratory disorder, infection, depression,

emotional lability and abnormal ejaculation for instance. Removing

these from any calculation in my estimation would remove

approximately 20% of withdrawal events.

MHRA reviewers have made no objection as I understand it to such a

priori exclusions, but on simple methodological grounds a failure to

object is extraordinary. If MHRA reviewers have in fact failed to

object, I suggest the MHRA revisit this issue in the light of the

points made below.

In the clinical trials of all SSRIs, respiratory infections and

pharyngitis are recorded as occurring at a much greater rate than on

placebo. When the relevant studies, such as studies on healthy

volunteers for instance, have been conducted by clinicians with

expertise in these areas, it has become clear that these respiratory

infection and pharyngitis reactions in many cases are dystonias and

dyskinesias of the jaw, throat and upper respiratory system rather

than infections. The occurrence of such effects on withdrawal have

also been reported and indeed would be expected if such reactions

are triggered by the initial exposure to treatment.

I think your reviewers have been fooled by a coding manoeuvre here.

My expectation is that Glaxo Kline will also have removed from

the category of possible withdrawal reactions, patients suffering

from emotional lability, when it is now clear that such patients

were most probably suicidal, and as of June 2003 even Glaxo

Kline have written round to physicians in the UK conceding that

emotional lability is linked to suicidality and to withdrawal.

Despite this, I suspect there have been no objections by MHRA

reviewers in the course of 2004 to Glaxo's removal of such data from

their consideration of the rate of withdrawal reactions following

cessation of treatment with Seroxat.

If there have been no objections, this would appear to be a case of

MHRA reviewers failing to join up the dots.

I would note furthermore that the occurrence of emotional lability/

suicidality in the withdrawal periods of trials across indications,

including for instance OCD and social phobia studies, argues

strongly against these phenomena being linked to the disease and

strongly in favour of a linkage to treatment.

I have also seen Glaxo Kline remove abnormal ejaculation from

the list of possible withdrawal reactions. This is quite

extraordinary as the effects of withdrawal on ejaculation and orgasm

have been well described for 20 years for tricyclic agents, such as

clomipramine, which have effects on the serotonin system. It is

difficult to believe that MHRA would not protest at the exclusion of

such effects.

An unquestioning acceptance of these exclusions however adds to a

consistent pattern of MHRA reviewers taking on trust company

assessments of their own data. This is a pattern that may

unfortunately make it difficult for many to have confidence in

MHRA's final report.

On the same theme, MHRA do not appear to have questioned Glaxo

Kline's suggestion that hostility (aggression) in their healthy

volunteers taking Seroxat stemmed from the volunteers being cooped

up. This highly convenient excuse seems to have been swallowed

uncritically by MHRA, even though evidence from trials of Seroxat in

children, as well as Seroxat in PMDD, point strongly to a hostility

inducing effect of the drug.

Quite so.

For the record I suffered a permanently broken relationship, a

disslocation from family/loved ones ...........I continue to suffer

a nasty & extreemely painfull peripheral neuropathy.

I have to have numerous surgeries fo bursistis, benign

prostrate ...........whilst i have come on leaps & bounds health

wise working with the good officies of the withdrawal & recovery

group ................It's God's good grace that brought me back

from a very determined suicide attempt (Lustral/Zoloft ....wash out)

I walk both sides of the street on this ........whilst I'm greatfull

to the skill & experteese of the likes of Healy .....I'm still

casting round for a UK public champion for the damaged lives.

Any ideas??

Well said Gertie,

I am so glad you bring that up. It's death of the spirit to me. Drugs

blanket who we are. I think we all focus on the suicide because it's

something that people who have not experienced psychiatric drugs can agree

with. It makes the news and it puts some doubt into the whole industry.

I personally cannot think of one person that went on psych drugs and then

became a millionaire or wrote a famous poem etc etc.

I have known of many who were sad or had the blues and wrote great music and

did amazing things anyways, were even considered mad from the start and did

amazing things. Those great things dwindle with drugs.

Ernest Hemingway said after electroshock " the treatment was a success, but

we lost the patient "

He could no longer create and so ended his life from my understanding of it.

I am so sorry to know of your struggles and misfortune connected to the use of

these drugs, and thank God for His mercy in pulling you through to a better

physical and emotional place. It could be that the number of people willing to

admit the damage these SSRIs have done them might soon become large enough that

mutual support groups like AA, which are popular in the US, could come into

existence. My cousin and her husband first met in an Alcoholics Anonymous

group. The Twelve Steps groups have some defects, I think, but another format

and set of ground rules could emerge.

It seems the UK is closer than the USA to a real public examination of what

these drugs are worth to the public, as opposed to their being worth a lot to

those who make their fortune from pushing them onto the public. So perhaps it is

more likely that such a spokesperson will be from the UK.

Also, there is less headline value in broken lives that continue on in their

brokenness, than in blood and gore. The UK has had Medawar doing fine

work in the evaluation of SSRIs for at least 8 years, and yet, who has heard of

him here in the USA? Only those of us who went digging determinedly for the

facts.

So no, I don't have any really good ideas about who such a spokesperson could

be. I suspect it will be by way of a talented writer of fiction, someone like

our Glitter, who can write a best-seller, from experience, on either side of the

equation, either as a user or someone who loved a user, illustrating the damage

left in the wake of widespread use of SSRIs, something that would then be

adapted to the cinema screen. Someone very talented is needed, for it is a

complex and many-layered subject, and then getting it published would be a

" good-luck " enterprise, not to mention the marketing, or lack thereof. The Dark

continues to rise, persistently and vigorously.

However, the momentum is building against these drugs. Critical mass for

exposing them may not be so far off. How long did it take for Valium to cycle

through the medical profession and the public consciousness, from " Mother's

wonderful helper " to a realistic appraisal of its dangers? All these

psychotropic drugs have a similar life-cycle, don't they? It is truly a tug of

war between The Dark, which looks for a chemical fix for fictional biological,

" genetic " defects, and The Light, which knows the evil inherent in the very

notion. gertie

I tried stopping Lexapro abruptly and it sent me spiraling into a

greater hell than what I was in before I started. I would talk to a

doctor first about slowly lowering the dosage from 10 mg to 5 mg.

Good luck to you!
