Megan Short has prepared a brief description about how you can file an official report regarding adverse reactions to psychiatric drugs. A few nations are listed such as Canada, USA, etc. However, you may be able to find similar resources in your own nation. This is an early draft, and may change.
This letter to the editor of a medical magazine by a Harvard professor of neurology warns that neuroleptic drugs are “grossly over-prescribed and overused.”
Psychiatric drugs administered along with other prescriptions (psychiatric polypharmacy) often leads to fatal results. Libby Zion, whose premature demise resulted from ingesting a prescription cocktail, was administered an anti-depressant and a painkiller, both of which targeted the 18 year old college student’s central nervous system. Such deaths and related polypharmacy traumas have become increasingly common, yet most doctors remain unaware of the potential adverse side effects of such neurotoxic cocktails. As of 2005, researchers report, more than 85 percent of doctors were “unaware of the serotonin syndrome as a clinical diagnosis.”
An Investigation by Protection & Advocacy, Inc. into deaths related to the combined use of multiple psychiatric medications. The administration of aggressive polypharmaceutical regimens in these deaths, according to the agency, was not supported by the clinical presentation of the patients, nor by the medical literature. The report, released in June, 2004, concluded that inadequacy of clinical responses resulted from a lack of recognition of the precipitous deterioration of each patient. In each case, inappropriate diagnostic conclusions undermined the potential for attending to the causes of the patient’s deteriorating medical condition.
A 34 page booklet, written by E. Daisy Anderson, M.S., and Janet Currie, M.S.W., that provides basic information about the problems associated with taking psychiatric drugs. Hard copies may be purchased through the link below, with proceeds going to the Psychiatric Awareness Group. A PDF version is also available for download. Please note, however, that the PDF version is for individual, non-commercial, single-use only.
The Lancet, a widely-respected international medical journal, published an essay sharply critical of the psychiatric industry that reviews two books: “The Myth of the Chemical Cure: A Critique of Psychiatric Drug Treatment” by Joanna Moncrieff and “Side Effects: a Prosecutor, a Whistleblower, and a Bestselling Antidepressant on Trial” by Alison Bass.
