Rule of no advocating without telling the risks

Posted by Lamdage22 on August 26, 2015, at 11:27:30

Dr-Bob,

what do you think about a rule for this forum to not advocate any drug without mentioning the potential drawbacks?

Why do you not chime in when people advocate drugs that can have very negative consequences?

What is this website for anyway? Some kind of social experiment?

Suggestions are not necessarily advocations. Among the former, I don't often see the latter.

Who would be responsible for screening posts to determine any and all possible adverse events attendant to the treatment suggestions made by the people who post here?

Q: Who would have that kind of expertise?
A: No one.

Even the best of clinicians would not claim such expertise.

Check out the verbiage to be found at the top of the main pages of these forums as per Dr. Hsiung:

"Don't necessarily believe everything you hear. Your mileage may vary. The only posts I take responsibility for are my own."

The whole Internet is a sociological experiment.

Friends
It is written here that no one here has the expertise to screen posts to determine any and all possible adverse events attendant to the treatment suggestions made by the people here.
Mr. Hsiung states that the only posts that he takes responsibility for are his own. Yet he does say that he does take responsibility for his policies here. His policy is that what is not acted on by him is not against his rules and that being supportive takes precedence.
As to if Mr. Hisung has the expertise needed to act on posts advocating a drug here that could cause adverse consequences, or the advocating of combining drugs, a psychiatrist could have that expertise, for that could be in their training to be certified. And there are books available to him spelling out these adverse consequences and books and manuals and literature made for the psychiatrist. I do not think a rational person could think that Mr. Hsiung is a charlatan posing as a psychiatrist here and is dumb about these drugs that he calls "medicines".
more....

I wonder though if you dont have the expertise why you would recommend stuff..

It seems to me that people on psychobabble are pretty oblivious to the fact that there are risks with trying medication. That it is a gamble.

I know for example that MAOI can kick off psychosis and that Metformin patients need to be monitored for kidney health.

Why not post it??

isnt it alarming that "the best clinicians dont have that expertise"?? Yet they still push the drugs. They should have that expertise and they should pass it along to their patients.

It is atrocious.

Because right now it looks like there are no risks and everyone thinks its a no brainer that you MUST try everything.

And thats not really accurate.

Lamdag22
You wrote,[...it looks like there are no risks (in taking the drugs allowed to be promoted here as "medicines")...].
There are laws regarding what is known as "false advertising". False advertising is when someone is misled or deceived by a sign or advertisement or such. A question here could be if this site is an advertisement for psychiatry that drugs people and if so are the readers being deceived into thinking that these drugs are safe and that they are medicines for illnesses and that they are what they say, such as "antidepressants" or "mood stabalizers".
If you examine the television commercials for these drugs, they portray happy people with music and the voice over gives the potential unhappy consequences. But the music going and the way the words come out are done by masterminds of merchandising, making psychiatry a house of merchandise to those psychiatrists that sell the drugs via prescription and the client paying the psychiatrist by those that are convinced by the advertising that they need the drugs for their depression and such. For the consumer can not obtain the drugs without the partnership existing between the drug manufacturers and the psychiatrist/doctor and others that profit from the drugs such as the pharmacy. Then this site could become an advertisement in and of itself for psychiatric drugs because the owner is a psychiatrist which could constitute a{testimonial}. Now t drug makers escape liability by listing the adverse consequences ahead of time. Here, the psychiatrist does not act on posts where drugs are advocated or suggested by following the FDA rules to list the adverse consequences which could falsely lead readers to believe that the dugs advocated are safer than they really are and take them and become addicted to them or be killed by them or receive a life-ruining condition from them by readers thinking that it is supportive to advocate taking these drugs since support here takes precedence or worse, that what is here, will be good or this community as a whole , so Mr. Hsiung thinks.
I try to warn readers here and those that are killed by these drugs, who will have their blood be upon them?

So, why cant we warn readers about risks?

Are you getting paid by pfizer and co. or anything, Scott?

Why does nobody feel obligated to do so?

Well?

> Why does nobody feel obligated to do so?

Because there is no obligation for anyone to do so. What precedent can you cite that such an obligation exists?

Obviously, there is no obligation for doctors to do so, otherwise they all would. They don't. How do you feel about that? You are on a lot of drugs. Did your doctor inform you about any and all possible adverse events for each drug? If not, have you confronted him with the same vigor as you are confronting the good-hearted people here who are simply making suggestions and relating personal experiences in an effort to provide information?

If you feel that the environment here is deleterious to your health, why not look for one in which all posters are obligated to provide the information regarding any and all adverse events that are possible with each drug mentioned? When you find such a website, it would be a great service to the posting community of Psycho-Babble if you were to provide a URL link to such a site.

Let me know how it goes with your doctors when you confront them. Did your doctor inform you about Nardil and the possibility that it could precipitate psychosis? Do you really expect that people here should be held to a higher standard than what you hold your own doctors to? Why not help out. For each of the drugs you are currently taking, list any and all adverse events that they are each capable of as provided to you by your doctors. Of course, there is no obligation for you to do so, but I would like to see if they missed any.

Maybe its time to just let it go. Nothing that i do now can undo what happened.

And that psychiatrist probably wont give a sh*t.

Friends,
It is written here that there is no obligation for anyone here to warn readers about the risks of the adverse consequences that could befall the taker of these drugs advocated here as "medicines".
Really? In defining who has any obligation, looking at the FDA rules for {advertising} of these drugs and the rules for {endorsement} of these drugs, the question here could be if Mr. Hsiung is giving {endorsement} to the drugs advocated by members to take for their real or imagined ills or is the member posting an {endorsement}. This brings up as to if there is an {advertisement} or a {testimonial} or and {endorsement} and by who?
As to who would be in violation of any rule of the FDA, I think that anyone advocating these drugs as medicines, is giving an {endorsement} of the drugs that falls in the FDA regulations as to if there is a violation of their rules.
I do not think that the posting member is violating the FDA rules, but the rules cover advertisements that IMHHHHO could have Mr. Hsiung as a advertiser of these drugs since he allows the advocating of the drugs as part of his promotion of what is supportive and what will be good for his community as a whole as he thinks. The use by him as {being *good*} could be thought to be an endorsement not only by him, but by psychiatry since he is a psychiatrist. And worse, a psychiatrist could know that people could be killed by these drugs and does not post a warning in posts that advocate to take the drug. And even worser, mothers trying to determine to drug their child or not could be seriously misled here to believe that the drugs are safer than they really are since a psychiatrist could appear by being silent to the posts that advocate taking the drugs as to posting a warning of the adverse consequences to taking the drugs. That could cause a mother to accept, and have serious misgivings about these drugs, what they think is a testimonial and endorsement by the psychiatrist which could result in the death of their child. Who will have their blood upon them?
Lou

Every other speciality will tell you the risks. That is my experience.
