I think all these drugs are evil, some affect us more than others, and I think if they re did all the studies, they would find the same results as the new study 329.  The main thing about this one, is they cold bloodedly gave kids drugs, knowing it was going to harm them..............       So disproving one trial, at least shows how corrupt this system is, and perhaps others will aske questions.  Hope so.

http://www.doctorslounge.com/index.php/news/hd/58078 Lets hope this is the beginning of drug companies, actually having to provide ALL DATA<    quote  "" "The original study says paroxetine is safe and effective for the treatment of depressed adolescents," said co-author Dr. John Nardo, a psychiatrist with the Emory University Psychoanalytic Institute in Atlanta.

"Ours says paroxetine is neither safe nor effective in the treatment of adolescents," Nardo added. "And I don't know of any example where two studies in the literature with the same data ever reached opposite conclusions."

This reassessment was prompted by the RIAT (restoring invisible and abandoned trials) initiative, launched by an international group of researchers, Nardo said. RIAT calls for the public release of data behind unpublished or questionable clinical trials so that outside experts can check the findings, he explained.

The original trial, known as Study 329, has been controversial ever since its 2001 publication, Nardo said.

That trial was funded by the drug's marketer, SmithKline Beecham, which is now GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The medication is currently marketed in the United States by the drug company Apotex, GSK officials said.

A year after Study 329's release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared it should be considered "a failed trial," according to an editorial by BMJ Associate Editor Peter Doshi that accompanies the new analysis.

Despite this, more than 2 million prescriptions were written for U.S. children and teenagers in 2002, spurred by a marketing campaign that said Study 329 had demonstrated Paxil's "remarkable efficacy and safety," Doshi wrote.

In 2003, the FDA mandated a "black box" warning -- the most serious type of warning in prescription drug labeling -- for Paxil and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. The warning signaled a possible risk of suicidal thoughts among children and teens.""

Yes, all the trials are fraudulent with adults too,  but I think when a drug company, crossed than invisible line, and started harming our children,,,,,,,,,,,,  any morality they claimed to have as a company, and any morality the 22 authors of the original  trial  (who never wrote the trial at all, was written by a lady who worked for GSK, and yes, she has a conscience, and went whistleblower)........  well when the pharma set out to get children addicted to a drug, that showed it was much more harmful than a placebo, and the placebo (ie doing nothing)  worked better,  how damn immoral are these greedy damn pharma corrupt, soul less people.  I hope they face the courts, before they have to meet their maker, cause no death bed confessions will save them from where they are going.

Its all about what you can get away with isnt it Mr Keller !!!

One would have thought the medical profession would be held to and follow higher and more noble motives. imo

Thought for the day: Lets stand up, and let’s speak out , together. G Olsen

We have until the 14th. Feb 2018. 

URGENT REQUEST Please consider submitting  for the petition on Prescribed Drug Dependence and Withdrawal currently awaiting its third consideration at the Scottish Parliament. You don't even have to be from Scotland. By clicking on the link below you can read some of the previous submissions but be warned many of them are quite harrowing.

http://www.parliament.scot/GettingInvolved/Petitions/PE01651   

Please tell them about your problems taking and withdrawing from antidepressants and/or benzos.

Send by email to petitions@parliament.scot and quote PE01651 in the subject heading. Keep to a maximum of 3 sides of A4 and you can't name for legal reasons any doctor you have consulted. Tell them if you wish to remain anonymous. We need the numbers to help convince the committee members we are not isolated cases. You have until mid February. Thank you

None of the published articles shed light on what ssri's ... actually do or what their hazards might be. Healy 2013. 

This is so true, with anything you get on these drugs, dependance, tapering, withdrawal symptoms, side effects, just silent. And if there is something mentioned then their is a serious disconnect between what is said and reality! 

  "Every time I read of a multi-person shooting, I always presume that person had just started a SSRI or had just stopped."  Dr Mosher. Me too! 

Over two decades later, the number of antidepressant prescriptions a year is slightly more than the number of people in the Western world. Most (nine out of 10) prescriptions are for patients who faced difficulties on stopping, equating to about a tenth of the population. These patients are often advised to continue treatment because their difficulties indicate they need ongoing treatment, just as a person with diabetes needs insulin. Healy 2015

I believe the ssri era will soon stand as one of the most shameful in the history of medicine. Healy 2015

I happened to stumble across this topic too.

 

Dr Jon Jureidini from Adelaide University's Critical and Ethical Mental Health Research Group was part of that study and speaks to ABC NewsRadio's Glen Bartholomew.

 

http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/content/s4314364.htm?site=canberra

 

7min duration.

[*]At 15 years was put on 50mg of Zoloft for generalized anxiety and panic disorder.

[*]2006 Tried to withdrawal from 50mg . Doctor told me I would have no trouble. I tampered over about a month (50mg-0) which left me with severe and debilitating withdrawal symptoms. Doctors put my dose up to 75mg mistaking my withdrawal symptoms as a relapse. Stayed on Zoloft 75mg since 2006.

March 2015- adverse reaction between Zoloft (75mg) an antibiotic and anti nausea drug resulting in debilitating symptoms/recovery identical to withdrawal. Have not altered or changed dose since 2006.

I am once again reminded how I became so jaded. :(

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.

The title of the thread was supposed to be "In Case you Missed It"...tells how you how screwed up my writing abilities are these days.

Edited by KarenB
sorted title:-)

Year 0:      Social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, NO depression, NO suicidal ideations

Years 1-2: Ativan (benzo) <1mg as needed, not abused but developed physical dependence

Years 2-3: Paxil (20mg) augmented with Adderall XR (10-20mg) due to withdrawal from Ativan

Years 3-Present: Severe depression, headaches, psychiatric hospitalization, lost job, etc.

Good article IHP

Last paragraph...........

 

When I first wrote about the controversies over use of SSRI’s in teens, a decade ago, a psychiatrist and journal editor critical of the practice told me,

“If a drug company’s sales representative’s lips are moving, he’s lying.”

It was meant as hyperbole—and it was damned good hyperbole.

The current silence of the journals and institutions involved with Paxil’s long promotion reminds us that sealed lips can be just as deadly to the truth.

 

...."Virtually everyone involved in Study 329 has either declined to comment or insisted the study is sound."

Pretty obvious why really...if they open their mouth they may give the game away and if they do anything less than insist the study is sound they will trigger a trip to court.

I truly believe court would be the least of their worries... I know too much... but not as much as those with their mouths censored shut...one day when they are old and dying maybe the beans will get spilled.

You will find this

Paxil turned me into a monster:” The still-unfolding story of GlaxoSmithKline’s Study 329

“Remarkable efficacy and safety”

 

Which is a series of a well research and well written capture of many years of antidepressant information some of which it would take years on wd and other website to learn and or many many books which each tell one piece of an unfolding story if you search this site or any other wd website worth it's salt your going to find hits for study 329

 

It is always wise to have a bit of knowledge of how the systems that most affect our lives are run.. and this article will show you a snapshot of how our drugs get to us ... they do get to us and those we love...best to know a bit about it imho.

Sometimes even when drugged I think it is grace... sometimes I count my lucky stars and am thankful cause I have been so close to many thing there was no turning back from... 

 

maybe it is the same for you Ang.. take validations from this get and stay off drugs and own your life. 

 

I wish you peace

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.

"In a phone interview, Dr. Healy summed up matters thusly: “This isn’t a paper about an antidepressant being given to kids. This is a paper about access to data, and in the absence of access to data you have to assume that industry’s mode of operation in this trial is the standard industry approach towards harms, and that it applies to all drugs, for all indications, for all age groups, and at this point in time we will be concluding you cannot trust the academic literature, you cannot trust the clinical study reports, and you can’t trust the FDA. The only way forward from here is demand access to individual patient-level data.” 


yes I am kind of repeating myself in case you don't go to the link this is the important bit


peace
