There has to be corruption; any time there’s money involved in any way, there’s always going to be corruption close on its tail.
I was reading the article on the actual decrease in Serotonin levels and it makes perfect sense, because if the body becomes dependent on an alien substance, as opposed to producing it itself, then it will become lowered. That would be like the fact that doctors hand out anti-biotics constantly these days, to the point where people are always on anti-biotics because their own bodies don’t create antibodies independently to protect them against infection. Instead of the body being equipped to protect itself, the antibodies are decreased and you’re subsequently relying on an alien substance.
The point about these drugs, also, is that GPs are not trained in psychology to hand them out. Whatever their motive is for prescribing anti-depressants, I don’t see it being justified as they won’t be monitoring that patient sufficiently as to know the side-effects of the drug. The fact of the matter is that if you’re losing touch with reality as a result of tablets you’ve been prescribed, then you’re going to be the last one to know about it! It takes an outsider to realise that you’re slowly losing it, i.e. a trained professional. Unfortunately, a patient will put their faith in the GP in that they think they will prescribe what’s best for you, when they actually don’t. Would it not make more sense to advise the patient to see a psychologist and talk about their problems, rather than temporarily shutting them up with drugs.
Thanks c.j.
I don’t really understand though…i though we were so lucky to live in Ireland and to come from a country that doesn’t suppress people and where people’s lives were more important than pharmaceutical profits!

I was prescrided Seroxat (another SSRI) for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1999. Every time I went back & said it wasnt working they upped the dose from 30mgs to 40 to 50 – I then tried to hang myself.
I was never suicidal in the first place. I also suffered horrific withdrawal symptom coming off Seroxat for months. When I contacted Irish Medicines Board they told me to fill out a yellow card at my GP (not John of Gods)To cut a long story short, I got one, filled it out, my GP signed it & sent it to IMB. They said they never got it. My GP (way beyond the call of duty) Sent it by post, Fax & courier – the only resposnse ever was to say they received it. They are getting funding from the likes of Glaxo, Lilly etc – why would they invesigate a drug – sick but true!
Hi Rory,
Thanks for your support from the very start..I’m so glad you’re still
here to help people like us.I have e-mailed the Irish medicines board countless times about the warnings on the patient information leaflets on ssri’s but they just keep fobbing me off so i’m not surprised that you got no response.

Thanks Truthman,
I have posted a reply on your website!

One reason it continues in my view is that although Politicians, Estate agents, Bankers etc are often assumed to be untrustworthy. Civil society, a house, and money don’t mean much if a person is very ill or dead, to be betrayed in the area of medicine is inconceivable to the public so they don’t conceive it.
Hence the phrase “Trust me I’m a Doctor” they don’t even need to prove themselves, the name is good enough.
“Trust me Im a Banker / Estate agent / Polititian” don’t have to same ring to them.
I’ve warned people but they don’t believe me even though I always cite official sources such as the House of Commons fourth report 2005 on the influence of the Pharmaceutical industry, the MHRA is 100% funded by Pharma. Psychiatry and Pharma is lethal, more US soldiers die OUTSIDE the combat zone (according to the 4th army report).
It takes a while, Arther Schopenhaours 3 stages of the truth (ridicule, harsh opposition then finally the truth and people laughing from the other side of their stupid face) are said to take 10 years each and we are at the beginning of the 3rd decade.
“Psychiatrist” will someday have as much negative connetation as “Peado”, (on that note 33% of all sex crimes within medicine are by psychiatrists).
I know from personal experience how dangerious these drugs are. I forced a Psychiatrist who lied to me about reporting my adverse reaction to do so by contacting the IMB and outing his lie. They contacted him and that resulted in the ADR being recorded.
Hi Geraldine,
I had missed your comment before, so just wanted to say well done to you for making sure that the IMB were aware of your ADR. Psychiatrists in Ireland are a disgrace and cannot comprehend that these drugs can do more harm than good, either that or they are covering up for the drug companies who pay them.
Leonie
Thanks!

I would like to commend you, on your informative blog, and to express my condolences on the loss of your son. I have read your story and watched your late late show interview and it is evident that you did everything possible to help Shane. Not many young men confide in their mother and fathers of their mental anguish. It is a testiment to your parenting and closeness of your family that he felt he could lean on you in his darkest hours. All that was undone by misinformation and a over-emphasis on medicating lifes difficulties in our healthcare system. Interestingly, when Shane was initially seen by a GP, he was advised to try diet and exercise for a wk. If the doctor had continued to prescribe diet, exercise and counselling, he could have saved the life of Shane and the other young man. We as a society need to accept that emotional pain and distress cannot be medicated away.
Thanks Linda,
Yes, Shane was a good lad and had no difficulty telling anyone how he was feeling. Medicating a broken heart seems ridiculous doesn’t it? Unfortunately it still goes on and patients are not informed of the possible consequences. This will no doubt change and is changing as we speak, where more and more doctors and medical professionals are willing to speak out. The days of old Ireland where doctors and psychiatrist were seen as God-like creatures are long over. Good riddance to that way of thinking.
