Physician-caused death, illness, anger and despair? It happens. What to do.

There is an important read today at Mad in America by Bruce Levine about how to regain power from the medical establishment. Those of us who have been harmed and know just how serious it can be have an important role to play. ... [click on title to read more]

Deadly Medicines and Organised Crime: How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare

A very excellent and damning interview that was also heartbreaking (all over again) for me to listen to. I've seen more harm and pain and suffering caused by these drugs both in myself and in the 1000s of people who have chosen to share their experience with me. We need to stop this genocide. … [click on title for the rest of the post]

Shrinks get you hooked on benzos and then cut the cord

Okay, not prescribing ANY benzo to any new users is a VERY GOOD IDEA. Taking existing users off it, on the other hand is a scary proposition because the medical establishment is in COMPLETE AND TOTAL DENIAL about the seriousness and severity of WITHDRAWAL SYNDROMES.

Mother’s little helper: America’s love affair with anti-anxiety drugs

Interesting little history of how benzos became a hit in the United States in Newsweek ~~ America’s Long Love Affair with Anti-Anxiety Drugs:. It's really not a great article as far as I can tell but interesting nonetheless. It's an interview with Andrea Tone who wrote a book called The Age of Anxiety. The idea of the patient driven drugging thesis bugs me. If we’re not given real alternatives and have no idea that what is being given to us is hard-core addictive it just seems to be blaming the patient too much--especially since the author is writing about 50 years ago when we had no access to information other than that which we received from doctors…so please read this with a critical eye.

when things fall apart…

Update 2026: This post was written about three years into the six year withdrawal process. I was seeing a doctor who claimed to understand withdrawal who really did not know what she was doing. It was one of many forays into trusting doctors who would ultimately harm me. I finally learned, many years later and in fits and starts, that I wasn't going to be helped in an direct sort of way by any sort of health professional. The few good folks I met knew that they could only support me and held the mystery of the injuries with me. Anyone who claimed to know what to do proved dangerous.
