btdt Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am seeing in coments sections a lot of armchair pro-pharma experts saying the usual things about chemical imbalance and insulin for diabetes, but the new thing I had noticed today in comments sections is the use of the term "conspiracy theorists" for people who cite study after study exposing the dangers of psych drugs. To me that means the opposition is now clutching at straws. I don't see it as a genuine conspiracy, as if it were planned genocide. But the silence of drug companies, media, FDA, and doctors functions like a conspiracy. I don't think they are clutching at anything they have been here before and they are the doing the same thing they always do putting out their paid puppets the talking heads to add just enough of what they want into the conversation... exactly like they always do... then it will pass and nothing will change. Due to the already seeded brains of the general public seeded by cover groups running adds on depression for pharma ... may as well be pharma as pharma funds them and runs them... and other directly funded pharma propaganda and federally run programs that spout the same pharma nonsense... armchair Joe thinks he has this all wrapped up when in reality pharma has this all wrapped up. I am sad to say this is how it always goes with every mass murder suicide caused by these drugs this is how it always goes. There is nothing new under the sun... a couple of decent critics and a few articles that made the light of day that are swirling there along with the cesspool of media crap that we know is crap. There is always a bit of good with the bad light with the dark it has been here this time too at the end of the day in the past the end result it nothing changes and it will die down as the next war hits or financial disaster... that is how it has gone over the years. It just fades away. Like us we are here in our forum picking at this and that and hoping for healing but we are tucked away out of the lime light as the light does not want us we are not relevant not really to most folks who are just living their lives best they can in a somewhat rough times for some. Maybe I need a laser light of optimism to be shone down my spine or something I don't know but I am telling you how it goes and next drug disaster maybe you will think of this post.

westcoast Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I am glad I met you. That is one good thing to come out of this baloney. 2009: Cancer hospital said I had adjustment disorder because I thought they were doing it wrong. Their headshrinker prescribed Effexor, and my life set on a new course. I didn't know what was ahead, like a passenger on Disneyland's Matterhorn, smiling and waving as it climbs...clink, clink, clink. 2010: Post surgical accidental Effexor discontinuation by nurses, masked by intravenous Dilaudid. (The car is balanced at the top of the track.) I get home, pop a Vicodin, and ... Whooosh...down, down, down, down, down...goes the trajectory of my life, up goes my mood and tendency to think everything is a good idea.2012: After the bipolar jig was up, now a walking bag of unrelated symptoms, I went crazy on Daytrana (the Ritalin skin patch by Noven), because ADHD was a perfect fit for a bag of unrelated symptoms. I was prescribed Effexor for the nervousness of it, and things got neurological. An EEG showed enough activity to warrant an epilepsy diagnosis rather than non-epileptic ("psychogenic") seizures. 2013-2014: Quit everything and got worse. I probably went through DAWS: dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome. I drank to not feel, but I felt a lot: dread, fear, regret, grief: an utter sense of total loss of everything worth breathing about, for almost two years. I was not suicidal but I wanted to be dead, at least dead to the experience of my own brain and body. 2015: I began to recover after adding virgin coconut oil and organic grass-fed fed butter to a cup of instant coffee in the morning. I did it hoping for mental acuity and better memory. After ten days of that, I was much better, mood-wise. Approximately neutral. And, I experienced drowsiness. I could sleep. Not exactly happy, I did 30 days on Wellbutrin, because it had done me no harm in the past. I don't have the DAWS mood or state of mind. It never feel like doing anything if it means standing up. In fact, I don't especially like moving. I'm a brain with a beanbag body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfoldingSky Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I don't think I saw this story up here, sorry if I missed it: http://www.madinamerica.com/2015/03/germanwings-pilot-reportedly-antidepressants-many-banned-us-faa/ Germanwings Pilot Reportedly Had Antidepressants — Many Banned By US FAA In The News March 30, 2015 Germany's Die Welt has reported that the German pilot who apparently deliberately crashed a commercial passenger plane had antidepressant drugs in his home, according to CNN. The US Federal Aviation Administration has banned US pilots from taking many SSRI antidepressants. "Die Welt, a German newspaper, cited an unidentified senior investigator who said [co-pilot Andreas] Lubitz suffered from a severe 'psychosomatic illness' and German police seized prescription drugs that treat the condition," stated CNN. "Lubitz suffered from a 'severe subjective burnout syndrome' and from severe depression, the source told Die Welt. The New York Times also reported that antidepressants were found during the search of his apartment. CNN has not been able to confirm the reports." more at the link above, including the mention of a link between drugs and violence....

btdt Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 However, I am glad I met you. That is one good thing to come out of this baloney. I am glad I meant you too thanks You know if I did not feel like **** just now I would likely be up burning the midnight oil and posting comments too.. hard to say if it jaded or illness or both that keeps me quiet just now. I always have been right in the fight waiting with bated breath to see what some of the posters would respond as I was sitting waiting ready to fire... who else would have so much at stake in such an encounter than a person who's life CHANGED lets use that word... cause of these drugs. I look at this pilot and I think for the grace of God there I go... I really do. Prozac was the one that could for sure send me there... and I know it... there is nothing so terrifying in the world ..in my world. I watched this a long time now. I can't help but think of all the people I have meant along the way who I have lost touch with cause of sites being closed and I am wondering how they are handling this big new story... I will bet they are reading I hope they are ok. Some I know are likely still working hard to change things wherever they are. It is not something that will be easily changed it will take changing the system and that may never happen... that is how it looks form here. The reason the one on one posts are so important is we just never know who is going to be offered the drug or have a loved one offered ... reading one of our posts could be just enough to have them stop and look up the drug and maybe even the side effects and withdrawal. We can only hope the way it is now they will think they had better take any drug the doctors say or they will be acting like the pilot... that is how the stomach turns...every single time... I just expect it now.

dcrmt Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Dunno if it's been posted in the thread but Huffington post published this by Breggin:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-peter-breggin/antidepressants-pilots-ta_b_542240.htmland I found this as well: http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkroll/2015/03/29/faa-procedures-for-pilots-with-depression-taking-ssris/It's taking some time for this angle to leak from the fringes into the mainstream and it's not the main narrative yet, but it's getting there slowly but surely.

dcrmt Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I think every deveolped country in the world has a pharma industry... Including France and Germany.... so dcrmt look it up but I am sure of it. I am still sick so sitting this one out mostly but can't help seeing the news. Of course they do - they have drug companies that make drugs, yeah. But I don't think any of those companies have that big a stake in SSRI's and similar drugs. With the exception of Lundbeck and whoever developed Luvox (Belgian) pretty much all the companies that developed and promoted SSRI's are British or American and the big three that really pushed it hard, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and GSK are all anglo-american. European companies just aren't neck deep in the slop like British/American ones are - this 'disease', mass drugging of the population and of children is more prevalent in the anglo world as well. Yes I think there's at least one German company that did the reasearch behind one of the newer 'Serotonin Modulator and Stimulator' drugs but even then it's often an anglo company that gets involved in taking the drug to market, licenses it in a given market. Forest Labs does a ton of that in the US. Did it for lexapro, AFAIK is doing it for Viibryd too. I think it's very fortuitous that this happened in Europe and not in the US or somewhere like Australia/NZ. Not fortuitous that it happened mind you, but this is probably the best chance since Columbine for the truth to come out in a very big way.

Ang I am so sorry for you baby... sorry for the way you have been mistreated by doctors who thought they were doing the right thing. I think it is insane you can't sue in your country. Even here in Canada where lawyers will not return calls about Ad reactions withdrawals ect... they draw the line at death and birth defects if you have that here ... a lawyer will answer the phone from what I hear anyway. I worry about you I know you have lived with this a long time I know it has tortured you... I can feel it. This time in early withdrawal every bad thing that ever happened gets magnified... inside of us... I urge you to take time to do self care... as you have had way too much pain already. I know your use to it but enough if enough... please take good care of yourself ...some times that means turning off news sites and finding a relaxation video. We need to help folks in the early days be aware of the need to rest as it is a time when it is not always noticed... I know this from having been there. I urge you to relax I am in no way trying to silence you... just urging that you take great care at this time to seek some form of balance.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 oh well.. 2009: Cancer hospital said I had adjustment disorder because I thought they were doing it wrong. Their headshrinker prescribed Effexor, and my life set on a new course. I didn't know what was ahead, like a passenger on Disneyland's Matterhorn, smiling and waving as it climbs...clink, clink, clink. 2010: Post surgical accidental Effexor discontinuation by nurses, masked by intravenous Dilaudid.

I was prescribed Effexor for the nervousness of it, and things got neurological. An EEG showed enough activity to warrant an epilepsy diagnosis rather than non-epileptic ("psychogenic") seizures. 2013-2014: Quit everything and got worse. I probably went through DAWS: dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome. I drank to not feel, but I felt a lot: dread, fear, regret, grief: an utter sense of total loss of everything worth breathing about, for almost two years. I was not suicidal but I wanted to be dead, at least dead to the experience of my own brain and body. 2015: I began to recover after adding virgin coconut oil and organic grass-fed fed butter to a cup of instant coffee in the morning. I did it hoping for mental acuity and better memory. After ten days of that, I was much better, mood-wise. Approximately neutral. And, I experienced drowsiness. I could sleep. Not exactly happy, I did 30 days on Wellbutrin, because it had done me no harm in the past. I don't have the DAWS mood or state of mind. It never feel like doing anything if it means standing up.

Mentor ang Posted April 1, 2015 Author Mentor Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks..............but how many people are in the position to say they were going to drown their baby UNDER THE WATCHFULL EYES OF A LOCKED MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY. I can speak now, my son is now 19, I have told him.... how many can not speak, that they murdered their own children, in a drug induced state.... I was forcibly medicated, due to a bad reaction to a valium, that the gp forgot he gave me??? god I wish I had punched a policeman, I would have had an overnighter in the lockup, instead I WAS FORCIBLY MEDICATED FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN SENT HOME DRY?> The horrors set in I went on Zoloft, and then I had to watch a newborn baby die in agony, yes a zoloft half a heart. For 19 years I reported this, for 19 years ignored. Yes I am angry, yes I am distraught, yes I feel for others who actually murdered their babies on this ****. Yes I feel for everyone, put on these mind bending drugs..... Speak up, or forever hold your tongue.. Hugs everyone................

Mentor ang Posted April 1, 2015 Author Mentor Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks westcoast. just a matter of reading articles, scroolling to the bottom, and seeing if there is a place to post an opinion... then sign in with your fb account, cut n paste, as many times as you possibly can... simple x Trying to get newspapers to listen, or FDA or anyone to listen is a waste of time. Talk to those that listen, other people hugs x Put just that little bit of doubt in their minds, works a treat. and this one is brilliant, but you have to go to the orignial link, and cut and paste the whole link from there, just save it as a word document, easy then to cut and paste the full link, anywhere x this one is a good one too https://detenganlavacuna.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/john-virapen-side-effects-death-confessions-of-a-pharma-insider.pdfhttps://detenganlavacuna.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/john-virapen-side-effects-death-confessions-of-a-pharma-insider.pdf but make sure the full link is posted, ie just check by clicking on it when you have posted it.... if it doesnt work go to the original link, and cut and paste the full link as written in the top of the page. 1992 Dothiepin 375mg 8 weeks, exhaustion/depression.

westcoast Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ang, what happened to you is way too much. If there is a class action in the US, there might be more in other countries if the lawyers make a big pile of money off it. That will make other lawyers want to do it too, and the research that one the case has already been done. Wanting to drown your baby is not the same as doing it. Your head was deranged you were able to control the urge. Your baby having half a heart and dying? That is so completely f^cked up that there are no other ways to say it. I hope you keep up your commenting and exposing this crap. They have got to be more women like you in Australia. There must be a way gather together and find an attorney. I hope you forgive yourself for your drowning urge and for being on psych drugs. Neither was your fault. I am glad you are here and I have seen your comments on other sites, too. It is the best we can do, and you are doing it. 2009: Cancer hospital said I had adjustment disorder because I thought they were doing it wrong.

Mentor ang Posted April 1, 2015 Author Mentor Share Posted April 1, 2015 Of course, I knew my head was fucked, I didn't drown my baby, but god I didn't tell the nurses and psychs that did I? As for my darling half a heart, a friend was on zoloft, and at the last minute they did an ultrasound, one week before birth, focussing on the babys heart. They knew, cause I told them. Yes another zoloft half a heart. But no-one ever admitted that, 19 damn years it has taken, all those deformed babies.... If it wasn't zoloft, and me complaining, why the hell would they do a late ultrasound, on my friend, focussing on the heart? Evilness and corruption is out there. They knew for 19 damn years, they have known. I have asked the equivalent of the FDA in Australia, to dig out my old report. That would be interesting.

Money? and remember, for every one of those 500, there will be another hundred for each one.... that hasn't worked it out, or found a lawyer, like I cant find a lawyer...

westcoast Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I agree. Giving someone money after you killed their baby is revolting. Who would even take it? Except they probably need it.

westcoast Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Oh golly, and another guy who must be an expert--he is interest in depression drugs! Get a load of this: http://qr.ae/QfaYK At the of his post he goes into a tailspin, calling us shrill and irrational people who should be shut up. Oddly, he thinks that what will shut us up is new, better drugs. Therefore...the drugs we are complaining about are excellent, and we are crazy to complain. Nut if we had better drugs, we would not complain. Does not mean that he thinks we are complaining about real problems with the current drugs?

joy2730 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why wasn't the doctor who said he was unfit for work under a duty of care to inform his employers, as he was in a position of public responsibility. If his employers had been told he was unfit to fly I am almost sure they would have prevented him from working and replaced him with someone else. I know a pilot in UK whose wife died at a young age leaving him with 2 children and he had to undergo all sorts of tests before he could fly again, and was grounded for 6 mths as a matter of routine.

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.

btdt Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks westcoast. just a matter of reading articles, scroolling to the bottom, and seeing if there is a place to post an opinion... then sign in with your fb account, cut n paste, as many times as you possibly can... simple x Trying to get newspapers to listen, or FDA or anyone to listen is a waste of time. Talk to those that listen, other people hugs x Put just that little bit of doubt in their minds, works a treat. and this one is brilliant, but you have to go to the orignial link, and cut and paste the whole link from there, just save it as a word document, easy then to cut and paste the full link, anywhere x this one is a good one too https://detenganlavacuna.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/john-virapen-side-effects-death-confessions-of-a-pharma-insider.pdfhttps://detenganlavacuna.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/john-virapen-side-effects-death-confessions-of-a-pharma-insider.pdf but make sure the full link is posted, ie just check by clicking on it when you have posted it.... if it doesnt work go to the original link, and cut and paste the full link as written in the top of the page. I will say it one more time Please don't use your own name in fb replies... and please do not put your email on the open forum.. your name or you kids names... it is just my opinion but I think it unsafe. It could be I am a nutter... just my opinion and the mods can delete your sons name... but you have to ask them. There will be time for all this later..when we are recovered... or at least well...

btdt Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 If anyone has doubts about the harm these drugs can cause and if they really want to know they should read the transcripts from the 2004 hearings... facts from family member after family member who testified. One lady came to the hearings in the USA from France to tell her story ... all those people showed up in the hope the drugs would be banned. They got a black box warning.
