Amy Philo speaks out on the Mothers Act

Amy, you are so very courageous and strong. Thank you for speaking out, so others can learn from your experience. <3

I took these sorts of drugs for about 20 years.
Then I decided to stop them, as I thought they were making me worse.
Guess what? I feel MUCH better!
The doctor agreed that the pharmaceutical companies really don't know what they are playing with.

I have one relative and one friend, both women, who were put on zoloft and or paxil and then divorced their husbands a year later. One had just had a baby and the other had two toddlers. Nothing was wrong with them until they took the drugs.

The way they push meds the last cupla decades...I have become a pillaphobic (my word!)

All doctors prescribing SSRIs should be required to go through treatment before they are able to prescribe that crap. Zoloft has an insanely fast effect on the brain and your psychological status. I was only on it for 3 days and it felt like my soul was ripped out of my body, it took me 2 days to recover and it felt like I was hit by a truck when the lightbulb in my head turned back on. It felt euphoric to regain my soul in that manner. Zoloft is throwing gas on the fire if a person is suicidal.

Laws need to be made that forever protect people's freedom of access to natural foods and natural medicine and therapy. The mother's act it insanity to the Nth degree. Get out on the street, get into people's space, put out flyers, stickers, posters, if you have a car put some info on it - even graffiti in the right place - the end justifies the means in this case.

welcome to the medical industry....!
this is across the board, they dish out medications to mask symptoms which actually make u sicker in the long run.. doctors are trained to prescribe drugs and reap the cash rewards.. they make a mockery of peoples intelligence and health.. same with the psychiatric industry its all a sham.. nature provides every cure and all medicines should be NATURAL - most disease is due to emotional responses.. so train yourself to think yourself to better health..

Ive noticed that families that are more than well off, that each member is on multiple prescriptions. I never really took it as anything, but it really is a joke. Our bodies arent random chemicals and they dont need random chemicals. The way they "treat" cancer with pills you have to handle with gloves on is discusting and wrong.

When you say you hallucinated throwing your baby down the staircase, did you actually think you had done it? I think there is a difference between "hallucinating" and "envisioning" things. A lot of people say they hallucinate when they are actually only picturing things in there heads, which we all do at one time or another. Only, these kind of dream visions stem from fear and make us even more frightened of ourselves. I also wonder if you suffered from sleep dep like I did. That'll do it.

After I went to the hospital & got out, they raised my dose, I had more disturbing images in my head - not visual hallucinations, but constant thoughts of killing my baby. This got worse with each dose increase. 9 days of sleep deprivation sucks but it does not account for 4 months of being homicidal. Knowing about REM sleep behavior disorder I feel fortunate that I took the precautions I did take of having my husband sleep with his arm around me and my son in the room downstairs with my mom.
