Florida’s prescription rate for antipsychotics to young children drops hugely

This is really exciting news over all from the St. Petersburg Times: Nudged by public pressure, Florida health officials took a baby step last year toward reining in the use of powerful antipsychotic drugs among children: They began requiring that doctors get approval before giving these drugs to kids under 6 on the Medicaid program....

Ugh! The lets just add another drug for that pesky side-effect phenomena again!!

On Medical News Today the study they report on show using modafinil (Provigil) to help control that nasty weight-gain side effect. The other day I posted that it's been found that Provigil is ADDICTIVE just like the antipsychotics they want to add it onto. So once again we start adding on the drugs. And now...

Hypoglycemia and Diabetes type 2—big players in the psychiatrized

First of all I want to make it clear here, because the video doesn't. This discussion is primarily about diabetes type 2. Diabetes type 1 cannot be healed through lifestyle like type 2 can be. Many of us who have been on psych meds are hypoglycemic or have other blood sugar balancing issues and get... Continue Reading →

AstraZeneca buries information on Seroquel

That AstraZeneca and Seroquel have been in hot water lately for various reasons is well known by anybody who follows pharma and psychiatric news. There has been a ton of info to follow and since it's not the main focus of my blog I've only mentioned it once or twice. For thorough background coverage check... Continue Reading →

Testify to the FDA about your Seroquel experience

This is very important. If you have a compelling story or even just an adverse reaction of any kind at least send a letter. We want to stop AstraZeneca from drugging what could amount to hundreds of thousands of more people. Here are directions on what to do.

Seroquel user’s testimony for FDA’s psychopharmacology advisory committee

Philip at Furious Seasons who has been covering the AstraZeneca debacle gave me permission to post a "consumers" testimony that is going to be part of the hearings. I've barely mentioned what's going on with Seroquel and AstraZeneca lately and it's very important stuff. Do go have a visit to the second link I list... Continue Reading →

AstraZeneca is taking a big hit for big corruption

Now all over the news: Feb. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Unfavorable studies about the antipsychotic drug Seroquel were “buried” by AstraZeneca Plc, according to an internal e-mail unsealed as part of litigation over the medicine. The drugmaker failed to publicize results of at least three clinical trials of Seroquel and engaged in “cherry picking” of data... Continue Reading →

A most important post for anyone contemplating psychiatric drug withdrawal

In a response to a post the other day about the horrors of Cymbalta, a drug which among many other awful things is also awful to withdraw from, as are all psychotropics potentially, I got this comment. I’m working on a taper off Cymbalta, been on it for a bit more than two years, and... Continue Reading →

What is it with this supreme idiocy?? It’s well documented that neuroleptics CAUSE metabolic syndromes and yet these medical journals aren’t calling a spade a spade

It seems almost conspiratorial. It's certainly criminal. I posted on a piece from PsychCentral about a week ago talking about similar results while not mentioning that the drugs cause these problems. I also posted a piece that clearly states these drugs are killing us here and that docs aren't monitoring us. Now we see medical... Continue Reading →

AstraZeneca makers of Seroquel want to “protect” us by withholding information about the dangers of the drug

This you've got to read!! From the St. Petersburg Times: AstraZeneca, maker of the blockbuster antipsychotic Seroquel, is battling to keep information about the drug out of the public's view … for the public's own good. This month in Orlando, lawyers for the drugmaker will argue that unsealing company documents, including unpublished clinical trial data... Continue Reading →
