‘Help Me’: Patients Say They Weren’t Warned About Widespread Risks of Antidepressants

 

By A Midwestern Doctor

Story at a glance:

  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), antidepressants, are one of the most harmful medications on the market, and because of just how many people they are given to (often for no good reason, as only a minority of patients benefit from SSRIs), they have had a profound effect on the consciousness of our entire society.
  • This article will review some of the more common side effects of SSRIs (and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors or SNRIs), such as losing the ability to have sex, becoming numb to life, becoming severely agitated or imbalanced (sometimes to the point one becomes violently psychotic or commits suicide), losing your mind and the development of birth defects.
  • Like many other stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine), SSRIs can be very difficult to quit. Because of this, patients frequently get severely ill when they attempt to stop them (withdrawals affect roughly half of SSRI users). Worse still, it is often extremely difficult to withdraw from them, and very few doctors know how to safely facilitate this.
