@Altostrata 🙋🏻♀️ I’m an Australian pharmacist with a strong interest in deprescribing psych drugs - initially inspired by your tweets several years ago while I was still at uni 😊 currently working on developing a mobile app (TaperMate) to support people to safely taper their meds
Pharmacists interested in deprescribing psychiatric drugs, please raise your hands!
“People are building careers on the back of this tidal wave of fraudulent science and could end up running scientific institutes and eventually be used by mainstream journals as reviewers and editors. Corruption is creeping into the system.” Via @guardian theguardian.com/science/2024/f…
It's great news that the NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service will be hosting information and links to support antidepressant deprescribing from today: sps.nhs.uk/articles/depre… #beyondpills #informedconsent
More coverage of our letter today in the BMJ: "Fewer pills please: Stop prescribing antidepressants for mild symptoms, say doctors: Nearly 1 in 5 British adults are prescribed antidepressants". politico.eu/article/fewer-…
Our letter today in the BMJ: 'Experts call for fewer antidepressants to be prescribed in UK. Open letter to government from experts and politicians says rising usage ‘is a clear example of over-medicalisation’ theguardian.com/society/2023/d…
We are delighted to have published this piece today in the British Medical Journal, making an evidenced-based call for a reduction in national rates of antidepressant prescribing. bmj.com/content/383/bm…
Over the past decade, antidepressant prescriptions have almost doubled in England. In this letter, a group of 31 medical professionals, researchers, and patients’ representatives call for the government to commit to a reversal in the rate of prescribing bmj.com/content/383/bm…
@clarehm123 @TonyAvery1 @SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW @davidwebb_1 @jppharm Patients wonder too while we painstakingly weigh microbeads on a 0.001g scale, shave our IR tabs or make our own suspensions because we have no choice. If we are hospitalised there’s little chance our required doses will be administered and months/years tapering work is undone 🫠
@Institute_PDW I'm just watching back on YouTube having difficulties with withdrawal from Sertraline.
@SarahJPharm @PJOnline_News @Institute_PDW Attended the online conference hosted by @Institute_PDW and your talk was totally illuminating. There is not enough out there in the mainstream information network about this vast subject.
@Institute_PDW Blown away thanks to your conferences with how much has changed in the last eight months since yr Feb conference regarding knowledge of tapering, & how little info is out there in the mainstream medical worlds. Thank you so much. Totally indebted to all concerned.
The World Health Organization and the UN call for proper informed consent for psychiatric drugs and for support for the millions trying to get off them @CEP @JamesDavies @Mad_In_America @MITUKteam @Institute_PDW @dranneguy @MarnieWedlake @ladymcbeth2 psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/psyc…
@TonyAvery1 @Institute_PDW @davidwebb_1 @jppharm Thank you to everyone who attended and asked such interesting questions 💚
@TonyAvery1 @SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW @davidwebb_1 @jppharm pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/ld/cas… Need a big programme of education about this.
@ProfDonyai @clarehm123 @TonyAvery1 @SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW @davidwebb_1 @jppharm I'm not sure this is something the manufacturers have in their gift. Tapering strips a better option? pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/opinio…
@clarehm123 @TonyAvery1 @SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW @davidwebb_1 @jppharm Thanks for sharing all this work. I guess the question’s been asked before: why aren’t pharmaceutical manufacturers required to make lower-strength formulations to help with antidepressant withdrawal regimes (akin to warfarin products, and bearing in mind LASA dangers of course).
@PharmAlicia @Institute_PDW Wow! Thank you for joining us and sacrificing your sleep, I hope you found it interesting.
@SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW It was a great discussion 😊 I was surprised by how many liquid antidepressants are available in the UK, in Australia the only commercially available liquid I know of is escitalopram!
I’m up at 3:30am to attend @SarahJPharm’s session “The role of pharmacists in antidepressant reductions: Practical challenges and future opportunities” at the @Institute_PDW Withdrawal from Psychiatric Drugs online conference!

@AnnaKin06551830 @SarahJPharm @Institute_PDW I’m honestly not sure of the process. Ideally these liquid preparations would be available on the PBS, which would mean the drug company would have to apply to the government to have them listed (which is costly) and so I assume they don’t see a cost benefit in Aus ☹️
@Institute_PDW Blown away thanks to your conferences with how much has changed in the last eight months since yr Feb conference regarding knowledge of tapering, & how little info is out there in the mainstream medical worlds. Thank you so much. Totally indebted to all concerned.
Inspired by @jayjoseph22's work, I tracked news reports that "scientists have today now finally proven schizophrenia is genetic and biochemical." Such "breakthrough" claims have appeared every few years for 100 YEARS! Sadly, this overhyped belief hyperfuels forced drugging.
"Scientists have made a breakthrough in the understanding of which gene variations are responsible for the development of schizophrenia." Given 50 years of failure, the real "breakthrough" would be for the media to start approaching such claims with extreme skepticism.
Thank you you to @ReadReadj & @Institute_PDW I am psych drug free for the first time in over 45 years. I am still told that it's not possible. I am off of Antipsychotics (1200 mg of forced Seroquel) that I was told I could never live without -- what BS.
Please help advertise @Institute_PDW conference. Thanks iipdw.org
@mikeroche99 Hi Mike, Short answer is yes, May I suggest this video from @Institute_PDW , for some excellent information regarding antidepressant withdrawal, withdrawal symptoms and tapering. m.youtube.com/watch?v=PSjYH0…
Some doctor did this to this woman. 10am - 25mg Pristiq 12pm - 67.5mg Gabapantin 2pm - 27.33mg Wellbutrin IR 4pm - 67.5mg Gabapentin 6pm - 27.33mg Wellbutrin IR 8pm - 67.5mg Gabapentin 11pm - 60mg Seroquel
SNOMED has today added code 1285639002 'Protracted antidepressant withdrawal syndrome (disorder)' to its system. GP practices I believe need to activate this code locally to use it. It also means that precisely 0 cases of protracted withdrawal have so far been recorded by NHS.
For me, today marks four years off an #antidepressant drug. It’s fair to say that the years spent on the drug have made an ongoing and inedible mark on my life. Sadly, my hope of a reasonable post-drug recovery faded long ago.
