It was only when I started tapering off of the psych meds that I realized the devastation they had greatly caused. AA Hi Kelli,

You should know better than anyone as a doctor that just because alot of people are on a treatment doens't mean it is effective. Kind of sound anecdotal to me. AA Jason,

My background on the subject starts over 14 years ago. Seems like alot for a 24 year old. My mother was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I never knew what that was. She was who she was. All I had ever known. Looking back I can see it now. Kindest, most loving mom one minute and the next; rude, snappy and just miserable to be around. Mostly kind though from what I can remember of her. When I was 10 she took her own life, leaving 10 children and a husband behind. I being the 3rd youngest. This all happened just weeks after seeking Medical help and being prescribed medications. Which ones I don't know. I could go on for a long while but my story really can be summed up in a nutshell by viewing "Impossible Cures" on my youtube account. Its my families story and how my family was on the path to destruction with more children being mentally ill also. Hope this video helps others see the light.

However, I was never told of the consequences when coming off the drug,and oh how naive I was, thinking that the SSRI was actually helping me all those years. In actuality, it was slowly changing my brain chemistry and wreaking havoc with my body....just slow enough that I wouldn't know it was the drug doing all this harm. Coming off an SSRI after long term use is the epitomy of hell on earth. Never in my life did I ever wish for death. My original problem paled in comparison to the torture I am in now. And I get so angry when the ones who are now suffering from SSRI drug damage are thrown under the bus, because it supposedly "helps" so many people. I feel like I am screaming at a brick wall when people refuse to listen to the ones who have been harmed by these drugs, simply because they are still in the honeymoon phase with the drug and haven't been bitten yet. Trust me....you may love your drug now and think it is helping you and you are one of the lucky ones who is not affected by the harmful side effects. I was like you once. But in time, the drug will turn on you are slowly start to cause you great health issues, and if you decide to come off after long term use, God have mercy on your soul. We'll see if your praises about the drug stay the same. I doubt it, though.

This is a drug who's efficacy, or lack of, is totally dependent on the patients reporting of symptoms, good or bad. This isn't a drug for hypertension that efficacy can be determined by a blood pressure reading. This is a group of drugs that effect mood. I don't bellieve that we have a machine or blood test that can document efficacy for mood elevation. So all data is anecdotal. The difference with ssri's is that good results are "data", bad results are "anecdotal". The fact that ssri's, with the exception of Prozac, never recieved FDA approval speaks volumes to their efficacy. “Anecdotes provide wonderful texture and color to a situation;”
