Hi All,
Apologies I am new to this forum and I understand that I have been a little insensitive, as mr took put it 'shoutinging my POV'.
It was a little aggressive so I will tone it down and refer to myself and my experience as someone put it we are all unique.
That being said, the title of the thread is pretty obvious and I also advised in the first post for those happy on their medications and
not wanting to hear any negativity not to read on.I refrained from posting in the acceptance of meds thread out of respect that it was a place where people did not want to hear about this.
If this is a pro medication forum and I am way out of line and in the wrong place then the moderator can give me
a tap on a shoulder and I will head for the nearest exit.For me personally, the days of blindly accepting what psychiatry tells me is good for me is over. For even taking this view, I am met by hostile opposition
from doctors and people on internet forums. If I question the wisdom of modern psychiatry I am an anti med nut all of a sudden.Why can't I question this 'science' that is built on shakey foundations at best. Why can't we even ponder that what we know is wrong?
I think a mature and respectable conversation is needed to lift the lid on psychiatry and see what comes out.
I as a patient have been deceived. By my doctor and by several large pharmaseutical companies. And I have been left feeling that they do not have my best interests at heart.Big pharma companies are drugging 3 year olds with Zyprexa. They are combining anti-psychotics with anti-depressants in the same pill to get more of the population into the AP game.
The ever expanding classification of Bipolar. I mean really.. what the hell is bipolar with features otherwise undescribed..?
They knew that some APs caused diabetes among other serious health problems and chose to withold that from the public and still push the drug onto them.
I could go on for ever about disturbing practices that these companies engage in. However, my point is that they do not have your interests at heart. They are driven
by profit.And they are the driving force in the world of psychiatry. They educate doctors with sales reps, conferences, case studies and whatever other means they have.
They go out of there way to destroy the reputations of professionals who question the practices of psychiatry.So I find it alarming that my dr's views on psychiatry come from the big pharma companies.
Since I have cut down on my medications, gradually, I am getting a little clarity back into my mind. I am far less agitated. The stories of people who have come
of meds and are doing better than ever fills me with hope.Christ empowered thanks for sharing your story.
Violette no offence taken at all, we all feel passionatly about this issue, it is very central to our lives.
SLS the link that you posted did not work for me. I did a google with your search terms and
read an article noting "Further studies will show whether the changes in the brain were the result of depression or anti-depressant medication"I think studies have proven that psychiatric medications do significantly alter the structure of the brain.
49er thanks, it's people like you who have done this and are doing well that really give me hope. I would love to hear more about your story and will babble you.
cheers,
Huxley.
