Antidepressantrisks.org - a web site to warn people of the dangers of antidepressants

[Caspur]

https://Antidepressantrisks.org is a website founded by Katinka Blackford Newman, who suffered a serious adverse reaction to an antidepressant which lead to a year-long nightmare of psychiatric treatment, loss of personal liberty and separation from her family. She is the author of the book,  The Pill That steals Lives: one womans terrifying journey to discover the truth about antidepressants.

 

The website aims are:

• to share stories of people who have been harmed by antidepressants and other depression medications.
• to make people aware of the side effects of antidepressants and the difficulty of withdrawal.
• to explain that adverse reactions to antidepressants can cause suicide, violence and homicide.
• to draw attention to the potentially life-threatening conditions of serotonin syndrome and akathisia.

 

It also features a comprehensive list of useful books, films and links to other organisations, including SA

 

The team on Antidepressantrisks.org are Professor David Healy, Katinka Blackford Newman, Sarah Culshaw and Dr. Ed White
