New York Times repeats the STAR*D fraud, as if this huge study showed antidepressants worked. The Times has been urged numerous times to write of the scandal. The paper has refused. bit.ly/3UADDnc The Times prefers to propagate falsehoods about psychiatric miracles.

It seems like we only label people “mentally ill” with the intention to have the “mentally ill” person internalize their problems and to drug them. It’s not to rationalize their suffering and contextualize it within a social reality that may in fact is being very cruel to them.
CS Lewis was right. The whole idea of prohibition is flawed. All substances can be used wisely, by some people, at some dose, for some reason. Prohibition opens the door to special pleading for the outlawing of substances based on social and political prejudices.
In this repeated cross-sectional study, there was no evidence that state-level recreational marijuana laws were associated with encouraging youth marijuana use, based on both the logistic regression and interaction-weighted models. ja.ma/3Qi0C43

@DuthieAlyne @Louthewarrior @atomicaceso Her total disability was real but benefits were granted for what her psychiatrist at the time mistook it for, not for what it really was, BIND/adverse effects from polypharmacy.She got off all except the benzo. While she tried to taper the benzo she had to keep the disability. /2
New study finds psychotherapy alone to be the best first-line intervention option to mitigate the risk of suicide attempts and other serious psychiatric adverse events. madintheuk.com/2024/04/psycho…
Some common sense in the DSM-5: “When bad things happen, most people get upset. This is not an adjustment disorder.”
I nearly lost my son when he experienced intense suicidal urges after he started Citalopram. If his GP had warned him, he would have known that it was the drug, rather than believing that he really had no hope. Please sign. People must be warned. change.org/p/get-suicide-…

Dr. Jim Wright, a member of our medical advisory board, discusses slow tapering and warns about akathisia in the Radio Canada episode “Prescription Nightmare.” "Prescription Nightmare" is a French exposé by Radio Canada's Enquête, now available in English.
Everyone I know thought I was fine until I took antidepressants and now they think I'm ill. So basically my "illness" was caused by Mirtazapine.
25/45 And here's more general info on akathisia in the BMJ – this is **FROM 2002**. Did your doctor warn you about this before you started your antidepressant so you or your loved ones would know the symptoms and signs to be vigilant for? bmj.com/content/324/73…
24/45 Also, akathisia can result from all SSRIs, not just fluoxetine. Here for starters is a case report (PDF download) from Psychiatrist . com about severe akathisia induced by escitalopram (Lexapro): psychiatrist.com/wp-content/upl…
23/45 As a serious adverse effect, did your doctor explicitly warn you about akathisia before prescribing the antidepressant? NB. In the UK, doctors must discuss serious harms irrespective of the likelihood of a patient being affected by them – see point 23 d:…
13/45 In any case, the NYT should already know all about this – here's its article featuring Dr Horowitz **FROM 2019**: archive.ph/tZYDE
12/45 Prof Taylor and Dr Horowitz – credited in the above RCPsych guide – have written a new book about how to stop psychiatric drugs in a way that reduces the risk of withdrawal symptoms here (NB. this book does not cover antipsychotics): x.com/markhoro/statu…

11/45 Similarly, the UK's Royal College of Psychiatrists advises stopping in stages, as in this guide, which is based on the concept of **HYPERBOLIC TAPERING**: rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/…
9/45 Some more on antidepressant withdrawal here – finding that SNRIs, paroxetine, and longer-term use are risk factors for more severe and enduring withdrawal: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

All substances can be used wisely, by some people, at some dose, for some reason. Prohibition opens the door to special pleading for the outlawing of substances based on social and political prejudices.

@atomicaceso If it occurs to pharma &/or pharmacists that they could jack up prices to insurance for the liquid Rx & tapering strips, & if psychiatry sees $ signs from billable visits over the duration of a long slow hyperbolic taper, then Limitations of the System will disappear like magic.
@SteveStuWill It always surprises me how smart our cats are. Jumping up to try to grab our doorknob it hopes of doing that makes the door open, because they see us do that. The door knobs are round, and they have no hope of opening them on their own, but it’s still fascinating.
I think it’s weird when a patient is sent to for supposed fibromyalgia and fatigue and I’m the first to send an iron and ferritin. Her ferritin was 7. I was like, do you like eating ice? She devours it. Please send Fe + ferritin and remember fibromyalgia is a Dx of exclusion.

7/45 This paragraph fails completely to draw on more recent findings. For example, a 2018 umbrella review found 56 per cent of people reported withdrawal symptoms when stopping, and 46 per cent of those reported them to be severe.
6/45 ***First, ANTIDEPRESSANT WITHDRAWAL*** The 'in some cases' paragraph reads like it was written in 2004, suggesting that maybe you'll get brain zaps and maybe you might get a bit of nausea. Symptoms get only slightly more words than Dr H's credentials in this paragraph here.
Deprescription is the new frontier for Psychiatry services at large. If it isn't, then what the heck do they think they're doing? 🤔
