I doubt there are very many treatment resistant people here who can say that they never felt worse on a drug. I have had a few drugs make me suicidally depressed when such is not one of the features of my depression. That's too bad. It is the nature of the beast. But what is the alternative? Better treatments? Of course. What? When. Unless one can answer those two questions, I don't think it make sense to call for the withdrawal from market today's antidepressants.

Should there be more disclosure to the patient? Yup. However, the thing that a psychiatrist can do right now is to monitor a patient more frequently at the beginning of a drug trial when untoward reactions are most likely to occur, and spend more than 5 minutes with a patient per visit thereafter.
