A good video and book on Ssri dangers and history is Anatomy of an Epidemic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VBXWdhabuQ
As an FNP/ primary care provider I wish I had known this sooner. I believed the hype and prescribed antidepressants with some regularity. I’ve consistently encouraged regular physical activity and sunshine as the most effective methods to combat depression. But I have regrets. As a patient I had been on various antidepressants through the past 8 years following the deaths of my sons. I believed I would always be on one or another. Anyway - I “accidentally “ stopped Pristiq during a busy couple of weeks during which my refill didn’t process successfully. I had gone 4 days without it and hadn’t realized it. What I felt was wild! I was suddenly dreaming again. And I was mentally a bit hyper. I’m sure I wore my darling husband out with all the talking and such! My brain was waking up and I felt alive. I cried a little here and there - but appropriately. I had actual feelings again. I had some facial parethesia but it stopped about 9 days in. I’ll never look back and feel better than I have in a very long time. I now help patients discontinue antidepressants and believe the key to success is good neurological support with magnesium, Vit D3, zinc, B12.
Great words of appreciation to all the individuals who responded to my original inquiry. with helpful inputs. It is reassuring to come to the realization that there is a responsible, caring individuals within the FLCCC community !
The next step would be to build a parallel, independent physical community outside the obviously decaying, collapsing institutions surrounding us!
