btdt Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-17/antidepressants-scientifically-linked-violent-behavior-youth Here's some double speak for you.... "Ironically, the researchers recommend that young people might take higher doses of the drugs to reduce the risk of violence and criminal activity. Fazel told Reuters it is possible that younger people taking lower doses are not being “fully treated,” leaving them vulnerable to impulsive behavior. Fazel cautioned that the study does not conclusively prove SSRIs will lead to increases in violent activity and said further studies should be conducted. He went on to tell Reuters that if the results are confirmed, “warnings about the increased risk of violent behavior among young people taking SSRIs might be needed.” I guess if they were given higher doses to cause complete brain death they would not do anything cause they couldn't... could just shoot them but then pharma would not be able to study the effects of these drugs on their brains. sorry uncalled for but I am leaving it Ad self harm to the list "Anti-Media previously reported on a study by the Harvard School of Public Health that found high doses of antidepressants in teens and young adults correlate to marked increases in self-harm." WARNING THIS WILL BE LONG Had a car accident in 85 Codeine was the pain med when I was release from hosp continuous use till 89 Given PROZAC by a specialist to help with nerve pain in my leg 89-90 not sure which year Was not told a thing about it being a psych med thought it was a pain killer no info about psych side effects I went nuts had hallucinations. As I had a head injury and was diagnosed with a concussion in 85 I was sent to a head injury clinic in 1990 five years after the accident. I don't think they knew I had been on prozac I did not think it a big deal and never did finish the bottle of pills. I had tests of course lots of them. Was put into a pain clinic and given amitriptyline which stopped the withdrawal but had many side effects. But I could sleep something I had not done in a very long time the pain lessened. My mother got cancer in 94 they switched my meds to Zoloft to help deal with this pressure as I was her main care giver she died in 96. I stopped zoloft in 96 had withdrawal was put on paxil went nutty quit it ct put on resperidol quit it ct had withdrawal was put on Effexor... 2years later celexa was added 20mg then increased to 40mg huge personality change went wild. Did too fast taper off Celexa 05 as I felt unwell for a long time prior... quit Effexor 150mg ct 07 found ****** 8 months into withdrawal learned some things was banned from there in 08 have kept learning since. there is really not enough room here to put my history but I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things especially any of the drugs mentioned above. One thing I would like to add here is this tidbit ALL OPIATES INCREASE SEROTONIN it is not a huge jump to being in chronic pain to being put on an ssri/snri and opiates will affect your antidepressants and your thinking. As I do not update much I will put my quit date Nov. 17 2007 I quit Effexor cold turkey. http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/1096-introducing-myself-btdt/ There is a crack in everything ..That's how the light gets in
Darwin Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 i can attest to this Summer 2013: started on Prozac for OCD Fall 2013: started Lexapro due to Prozac zombie effects Stopped Lexapro because of lack of empathy/emotion,anxiety,lack of concentration etc. Fall 2014: switched to zoloft February 2015: started effexor quit C/D after 2 weeks. April 2015: was on zoloft for a month again to try and wean a bit more slowly. DID not work. May 2015: dumped all of my medications July 2015: Struggling day to day with withdrawal symptoms but hopeful that I'll be better at the end of august for the next school year.
