www.encognitive.com The adverse effects of Prozac can be traced to the drug’s effect on brain chemistry. As Peter R. Breggin, MD, explains in Talking Back to Prozac What Doctors Aren’t Telling You About Today’s Most Controversial Drug, Prozac acts as a stimulant to the nervous system.6 Therefore, it can produce side effects that mimic those of amphetamines and are exaggerations of the desired effects of Prozac in relieving depression. According to Dr. Breggin, the FDA psychiatrist who wrote the agency’s safety review of Prozac stated that the drug’s effects–including nausea, insomnia and nervousness–resembled the profile of a stimulant drug, rather than a sedative.7 Dr. Breggin adds that nearly all of the side effects of Prozac listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference “fit into the stimulant profile.” Among others, these stimulant symptoms include headaches, nervousness, insomnia, anxiety, agitation, tremors, weight loss, nausea, diarrhea, mouth dryness, anorexia and excessive sweating. In short, a drug that acts as a stimulant also can overstimulate the body systems. In his book, Dr. Breggin offers the example of a person who takes Prozac to relieve depression (the beneficial effect) and suffers from agitation and insomnia (the negative effects). These adverse effects “are inherent in the stimulant effect that produces feelings of energy and well-being,” Dr. Breggin writes. “In this sense, the difference between ‘therapeutic effects’ and ‘toxic effects’ are merely …

I intend to make a series of vignettes talking about my experience with Paxil. The first is about the tremendous weight gain I had to deal with. I’m limited to about 2 minutes each message right now, so I’ll try to give information that will help people. My experiences might or might not be typical, but they are what I experienced, and knowing about them might help someone who is involved with Paxil and withdrawal. I’ve not been good at extemporaneous speaking in the past, but if it will help somebody out, I’ll do it.

www.encognitive.com Prescription drugs are now one of the nation’s leading killers! source Consumer Reports. The number of people needlessly hurt or killed by prescription drugs has become staggering. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that in one year, over two million patients suffered serious drug reactions, resulting in 106000 deaths. Another article in JAMA estimated that only 1 in 20 reactions are reported. Drug makers claim that antidepressants are not “habit forming” but fail to mention that all antidepressants can cause withdrawal. People often do not realize that withdrawal is causing their symptoms. Gradual dose reduction (also know as tapering) will alleviate symptoms for most people. (For many people the reduction in dose needs to be in miniscule amounts requiring the painstaking cutting and measuring of medication.) And yet most doctors do not know the proper methods for withdrawal and fail to fully warn patients. Failure to come off antidepressants properly, can result in permanent WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. ANTIDEPRESSANT WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. 1. Crying spells 2. Worsened mood 3. Low energy (fatigue, lethargy, malaise) 4. Trouble concentrating 5. Insomnia or trouble sleeping 6. Change in appetite 7.

PAXIL/SEROXAT SUFFERERS fiddaman.blogspot.com On the final day of the Sara Carlin ‘Death by Paxil’ inquest, Oakville MP, Terence Young testified that patients must be educated about the dangerous side effects of drugs and the possibility of using alternate non-drug treatments. Lawyer Teresa Walsh, representing Paxil’s makers, GlaxoSmithKline, queried Young on Sara Carlin’s alcohol consumption two years before taking Paxil. Young balked at the questions, refusing to answer them and noting by Grade 10 alcohol use is widespread. “It’s irrelevant.
