>I don't think we can get a clear picture of how worthless or effective these meds are. Or how they should be prescribed. Who they should be prescribed to. There are just too many conflicts of interest, too much misinformation. And most of the public is completely unaware of just how shady Psychiatry and Drug Companies are. Perhaps even the FDA as well. Often it seems the FDA sees its role is to protect Drug Companies and Corporations from lawsuits, instead of protecting Consumers.
It is clear to me that anyone with knowledge of how these drugs work, could very easily see the connection between them possibly causing a situation referred to as Tardive Dysphoria. Basically the over stimulation of a neurotransmitter system over time causing that system to become unresponsive. In my situation this has been seemingly permanent. This is all based on the idea that for every action, there is an opposite reaction.
But my reaction to meds isn't seen as legitimate. It doesn't actually exist in the medical knowledge world. Though I had read this reaction is mentioned in the 1991 USP DI Drug Information For Healthcare Providers. It may be in newer versions of the book as well.
I believe if Drug Companies had to pay for all the wrong they've caused in the lives of patients, they wouldn't exist. But many who have experienced the worst from medication, are swept under the rug. Our situation doesn't matter in this world. We will never get any compensation. Im oust left trying to be very careful and trying more meds to reverse what Mirapex caused for me.
I'm currently on Lexapro. And if this SSRI eventually does the same thing Mirapex did, but basically causing a shutdown of my Serotonin system, I am honestly afraid I could become uncontrollable. Possibly become violent even. But I have no other option but to try more meds.
