Street drugs are safer than these psycho-pharmaceuticals.

People need to quit being hypnotized by the Big Drug company TV ads. They're lying to you and laughing all the way to the bank. Depression is not a disease, it's a mental condition, not a physical or mental disease. Psychiatrists and Drug Companies are making billions of dollars off your ignorance. Get off the drugs and quit being a victim. Find someone to talk to. Eat healthy... exercise... go to church... anything but psych drugs!

after weaning off anti depressants 5 months now and im still feeling ill feeling suicidal..lonely is this go away?i have anxiety but i dont have depression when i took them i get depression so i stop them i hope i could go back to my old feelings like before

[davidealessio]

@glamhaze hey hey i am in withdrawal too.. can we talk?

[hillyabrownlee]

Hi I been on this medicine for 7 months I hate this medicine I had no idea of the side affects on this medicine because I have a reading disability so I couldn't read that affects all this medicine m a doctor shortly then tell me all that stuff what I know now I would have never even started that drug

[glamhaze]

I am going through withdrawal and severe ups and downs, after 28 days and I am having severe anxiety and horrific thoughts. Please don't take Paxil. I can't stop crying and I feel nothing for life or anything. I can't leave the house and I am failing school because of withdrawing. Also, note that is took me 3.5 years just to wean off, this is the worst and have been on it for 11 years.

@PsychHunter anyone here truly suffering from depression please ignore this man he knows not what he speaks of i suffred from severe depression before being put on anti depressents i consulted with my doctor who slowely but surely helped me through simply put i would not be alive if not for him that being said i must say i never found much help in therapist infact with me its the exact opposite i fucking hate them but thats just me maybe u all may benefit from what they have to offer

[MarvelousMe]

Gee, could this be the reason for some of my behaviors since stopping anti-d's for most of last year? Anger, suicidal thoughts, trouble getting along with others, paranoia...Even with depression prior to meds--I never had problems with these issues as I had when I quit taking them...Big Pharma and Chemical companies suck, and they don't care about me the person..they care about the money in their pockets. This is the TRUTH ~:o)

@PsychHunter The myth of mental illness is in the warp and woof of our culture! There is a need to placate this collective fear of madness, just as the church of old concerned itself with the care and concern of a man's soul. It isn't possible to entirely remove the scapegoats as persecutable, even in advanced western cultures. To paraphrase Thomas Szasz, "Scapegoatism is a metabolism of a society". And the myth of mental illness serves a society's many exigencies!
