Unfortunately, Lou Pilder is too clever to be a moron.

Lou Pilder is frustrating to interact with. I would also like to see him prove his assertion. So far, all of his previous attempts to use this pseudofact have failed. It does get tiresome, though, to put out the same fires each and every day in the way Dr. Bob would have us do. If I knew that no one were to be hurt or deceived by Lou Pilder, I wouldn't really give a damn what he wrote.

Laura, I do hope that you decide to continue posting on Psycho-Babble. I guess we both need time to cool-off. You are intelligent, deliberative, and very likeable, and make for pleasant conversation. Perhaps you would find the Social forum appealing.

How is Taylor doing?

I wanted to post that Taylor is doing well, and then saw this still on-going debate. Lou may be a clever man in many ways, but it is my opinion that one who "posts that he cannot post" over and over again, pulling "statistics" from nowhere, is in my opinion, (and at best) ridiculously redundant for doing so. I lost my filter, and apologize for name calling; it's just not necessary.

To the matter at hand - Taylor saw a new adolescent pdoc, and her official diagnosis is that of bi-polar disorder II. I really don't see mania in her, just normal happy and then a little down right now. She's not stuffing her feelings anymore, and is expressing anger/frustration in a healthy way. Her thoughts of suicide are fleeting, and do not occur every day as they used to. She's happy, but doesn't like herself. She will continue with intensive therapy.

The pdoc took her off Zoloft starting today, and gave her prozac for a few days to help with any withdrawal symptoms. She will maintain the 25 mg. Seroquel, follow up next week, and procede from there. It is my hope to have her off meds completely, or on a small dose of a mood stabilizer if needed. We shall see.

Thanks,
Laura

Friends,
It is written here,[...prove it, M*r*n..]
Be advised that whatever is being said about my character here, does not mean that it is true. I am not a m*r*n.
Be advised that I am prevented to post here what I would like to in a response to what I am said to be here due to the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung. If you are trying to make a more informed decision as to drug or not either yourself or one that you have responsibility for, such as a child or a parent, be advised that the number 42,000 is a {generally accepted} number of those killed by psychiatric drugs last year alone and you can do a Google search,[psychiatric drugs, deaths, 42000] and see all the pages upon pages of reports that use that number of people killed last year alone from these drugs.
Friends, I am trying to save lives here and prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions. If you are swayed by what is written here about me so that you think that these drugs will not harm you or kill you or addict you, or anyone in your control, then I feel sad. This is all because it could be thought to be supportive here for what is written about my character because support takes precedence here, and if there is allowed to stand statements about me, then you could think that it is supportive here for what the statement purports. But I say to you, seek the truth while it can be found and you can make your own decision as to if I am a M*r*n or not.

At one point, it was generally accepted that the world was flat.

The 42,000 appears to be a pseudofact gone viral. It's like a rumor. More and more people on the Internet rely on it in their writings without knowing its source. Apparently, there is no data source nor scientific study to scrutinize this assertion. Whatever the number, sadly, some percentage of deaths associated with antidepressants involves suicide. Psychotropic drugs are often chosen for suicide because they are convenient.

Friends,
It is written here,[...The 42000 appears to be a pseudofact...without knowing its source...Apparently, there is no data source nor scientific study to scrutinize this assertion...].
Be advised that the 42000 deaths just last year alone is a number that is generally accepted because of a great amount of research done to arrive at this number. The number of deaths is just for those that were killed by the drugs in the U.S. last year. Each country could report its own number of deaths from psychiatric drugs.
Here is one research article that only covers deaths from psychiatric drugs from sudden deaths related to cardiac events. Then there is research in relation to deaths from these drugs by other means.

Lou, perhaps you are trying to help in your own way, but have you considered it even remotely possible that in any way someone severely depressed or psychotic and highly suicidal may have read your posts, regarded them as absolute truth, and terrified them into avoiding psychiatric medications, only to end up not seeking help at all? What might that have done to someone who really needed to see a psychiatrist? Could they have committed suicide, believing that there is no help for them? (as you state that you are not permitted to tell anyone what "help" you believe is out there.)

I believe that it's important for people to be educated about the possible side effects of psychiatric medications, but to scare them out of their minds, offering no other alternative, is just downright dangerous, especially on this forum.

I apologize for calling you a moron, but I do believe that when you post, you are lacking in judgement. I don't believe I hurt your character, but rather my own.

Hello,

I'm writing to ask about Seroquel withdrawal, as my daughter is now about to completely stop taking it. She's on 25 mg right now, and will stop when next we see her pdoc. She will then be off all medications.

She just stopped Prozac, which was used briefly to lessen the side effects of withdrawing from Zoloft. It worked well, and she claims that she's just about "back to normal". I do see some motivation issues, and she's just a little less outgoing than before she became depressed, but she's made incredible progress.

Does anyone know if other medications are sometimes used to lessen the withdrawal from Seroquel?

Once she's completely off all meds, I will be watching her very closely for any signs of recurring depression and/or mood swings. She will also continue with weekly therapy.

This is all so scary, as she claims to have been depressed for a couple of years, and I didn't notice at all.

Thanks,
Laura

Withdrawal from the antipsychotic group of medications can be problem-free, but is sometimes difficult. If your daughter develops increased distress or anxiety, it could be due to the changes in serotonin and dopamine metabolism caused by the quietapine. It would just mean that you need to go slower, perhaps much slower, with the withdrawal. At the moment, much more is known about benzo withdrawal than AP withdrawal.

It's wonderful how well your daughter is doing, and you also deserve so much credit for the wonderful judgement you have shown in helping her. I do hope it continues to go well.

Lou Pilder has not been able to verify his claim that 42,000 people in the world died last year because a psychotropic drug killed them. It is not a generally accepted number.

There are quite a few things to be considered in evaluating the article cited by Lou Pilder. I have only skimmed through it, but I am left with the impression that they do a good job of presenting the work of others out of context. I am not prepared to present a detailed line-by-line scrutiny of the article. Perhaps someone would like to identify a point of contention to look at?

There is truth to be found in the literature that Timour et al. cite to bolster their arguments. I just don't like the way they weave the citations they choose into the story they want to write.

L,
You wrote,
[...you are not permitted to tell anyone what "help" you believe is out there...]
The prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung prevent me from posting what IMHHHHO could save lives, prevent life-ruining conditions and give people in addiction a way to be free from the slavery of the drug(s) that they re addicted to.
What has been revealed to me comes from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me that is prohibited for me to post here due to those prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung. It is a path to follow that delivers one from captivity and leads one to a Promised Land. For in the beginning, it has been revealed to me that our first parents were in Paradise, and that we can rejoin them in that state, now. I am prohibited to post here how one can enter a new realm that has no depression, addiction, pain, tears or death. This is accomplished by receiving a power to be able to overcome. Overcome all things, overcome depression, addiction and death.

Friends,
The question is if it is {generally accepted}. That can be shown by showing people that accept the 42000 as the number killed by psychiatric drugs last year. There are many, ways that psychotropic drugs can kill. One way has been posted about here as to that the drugs can cause heart failure and sudden death. I could show many other ways that the drugs can kill, such as agranulocytosis, a potentially fatal blood disorder, or liver failure and kidney failure and much more. This can be shown by research done that is published.
But to see who accepts the 42000, you can do a search such as [psychiatric drugs, number of deaths, 42000, DR Mercola] and see that there are those that accept the number. I think that if anyone wants to show that the number is not generally accepted, that they need to show that others in the field do not accept the number. If anyone can post such, I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly, for I have never seen the number disputed by anyone in the field. In fact, I have seen much higher numbers, and I agree with the higher number for not all deaths from these drugs are reported.
But being as it may be, there are life-ruining conditions that can be caused by the drugs.
Lou

Friends, Do you really think that the number 42000 that is generally accepted as the number of people killed by psychiatric drugs is bogus?
You see, the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. So looking at each category of deaths and the number killed in that manner attributed to psychiatric drugs can then be summed to give the total number of deaths as a simplified example, for it is more complicated than that using epidemiology and advanced statistics and causation associated with pathology and toxicology and other academic areas.
Another way these dugs kill is by attacking the blood system and causing death by agranulocytosis and other related blood disorders that can lead to death. Here is just one report of such.

Hi and thank you for the information! I want to be more informed when I take my daughter back to her new pdoc concerning the withdrawal of Seroquel. I'm not sure if there's a lower dose than 25mg, but will find out. From there, when she's completely off meds for a couple of weeks, I'll know if she can stay medication free or not. She hasn't cut in many weeks, and is still having fun with her friends, and her activities. I'll have to keep an eagle eye on her, as she doesn't like to let me know when she's feeling down. (she usually ends up opening up to her therapist, even if she doesn't set out to - which I like)

Thank you for the kind words. It's been very difficult, but I've learned much about my daughter, and can "read" her so much better now.

What might that have done to someone who really needed to see a psychiatrist? Could they have committed suicide, believing that there is no help for them?

L and friends,
I do not want you to be swayed by what is posted about me here to discard what I am trying to let readers know what IMHHHHHO could save lives, save the life of their child or other persons that they are in charge of that psychiatrists/doctors want to have them take mind-altering drugs that could kill them or induce a life-ruining condition or addiction.
You see, my judgment is based upon what I consider to be sound mental-health practices that have been studied for years and have published these findings concerning psychotropic drugs. These findings are scientifically based on long-term studies and not just one anecdotal report. There is a huge difference between what is the rule and what is the exception to the rule. I come here to post facts that IMHO could mark the difference between you being a live person or corpse. It is generally accepted that 42,000 people died last year from psychiatric drugs. This number is IMO a very conservative number, for all deaths from these drugs are not reported.
But what does that mean to you reading this? It means what it means. It means that you could die from these drugs and if you do not die from them, they could cause a life-ruining condition or addiction. And I want people to know all of the facts. Facts that could save your life or the life of your child that you may be drugging in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor. And if I knew that around a bend in the road there was a bridge that had collapsed over a great gulf, and people could not see that, I would stand before the bend in the road and wave my arms frantically to scare those approaching the bend to warn them that they could go over the cliff into a great gulf and be crushed to death, along with any children that they had in the car also.
You see, it has been revealed to me that when one takes mind-altering drugs that the mind is opened up to allow (redacted by respondent) to come into the mind and induce a mind-altering state to compel one to kill themselves and/or others. And when the drug is stopped, there is the potential for addiction to drive the person to kill themselves also. I want to warn people being drugged and those that are contemplating being drugged by a psychiatrist/doctor, to know that the bridge could be out around the bend in the road.
And I have come here to tell those that want a way out of the darkness of depression and addiction, of a way out. This way comes from a Jewish perspective as revealed to me and I am prevented from posting that here due to prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung. But I say to you in the darkness of depression, that there is a light like he sun that could bring you out of the darkness into a marvelous light. And that light will expose what is for you that has been hidden by the darkness. And when you see what has been hidden from you, and the cloak is lifted to reveal the truth, then the Sun of righteousness arises with healing in His wings. And you will see the future ahead for you that lifts you out of depression and into seeing a new realm for you. Then your heart could have a new goal. And when I had an encounter with a Rider on a white horse, He said to me, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Lou
