Education is Power when it comes to antidepressants,

I want to have a chat about antidepressants in general. I know for some they are useful and they put you in a good place mentally. But I also know for others like myself that there are terrible side effects and you are taking dangerous cocktails of pills, antidepressants, anti psychotics, and so forth that have as a side effect that they may increase suicidality, suicidal ideation, and behaviour.

So why in fact would doctors and psychiatrists put you on pills that make you worse than you were to begin with.

I know with myself I have started to monitor how I feel when I have taken my evening meds. I notice that there is a noticeable drop in my state of mind, I go from being optimistic and somewhat positive to being so suicidal, being slow with my thoughts and brain function,

Its downright dangerous and stupid to be put on pills that make you more suicidal.
I am on like 3 different medications with the side effect makes you suicidal, more likely to attempt suicide, please watch individuals for warning signs of suicide.

When will doctors learn that the antidepressants can cause more harm to the individual then the individual themselves.

if you read the side effects of drugs you will see there is like a paragraph of side effects to watch out for,

None of these medication side effects were what i  or others on medications signed up for.  We weren't even told about them, or even the fact that pregnancy is affected, the foetus inside, maybe even breastfeeding.

You take medication to improve your state of mind, as well as having counselling to help as well.

If the pills are causing you to be suicidal and ill and yet your mental health service blames it on you and so called Personality disorder, how do you stand up to that sort of critique.

It is very difficult to stand up to that sort of criticism because they claim it is just you and your nature causing the very issues that the medication is causing.

You wonder what sort of person, would I be without the cocktail of antidepressants and antipsychotics?

I think people are owed a lot from mental health services because lives can be ruined because of these drugs and how they affect you.  Controlling you in a way thats just absurd.

But yet to get off the things that is a mission too.

The withdrawal symptoms just aren't worth thinking about.

But yet for some to have a better life they have to go through these terrible withdrawals and just suffer till they are off the medication.


There needs to be more awareness of what is going into a persons system before they actually take it. Know the side effects, what to expect, and how difficult its going to be to get off the medication if it doesn't work.

Education is Power.
