In December, I was prescribed Klonopin, Trazodone, and Zoloft all at once for panic attacks. Getting off of these drugs has been more time-consuming and symptomatic than the acute period where I was having panic attacks.
I was unaware the MAHA movement and RFK Jr. were now crusading against antidepressants until my husband told me to listen to today’s episode of The Daily from NYT.
#Antidepressiva werden häufig verordnet. Besonders oft kommen #SSRI zum Einsatz, etwa Citalopram, Escitalopram, Fluoxetin oder Sertralin.
Neben erwünschten Wirkungen können sie auch unerwünschte Effekte haben. Dazu zählen Veränderungen des Körpergewichts, die für Betroffene belastend sein können und eine Rolle für den Behandlungserfolg spielen.
Wie häufig kommt es unter SSRI zu #Gewichtszunahmen und welche Risikofaktoren gibt es?
"you don't need to have a degree to know how dangerous #antidepressants are 😂😂😂"
"I'm not sure why we don't have an antidepressant crisis instead of an #OpioidCrisis."
"... the lie that there's a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes depression."
"If I listened to my doctor's I would be dead right now. The majority of #doctors don't even know what the drugs they prescribe do."
"Coming off #heroin not the same as coming off #SSRI... not even close... I'm a medical Dr"

[It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]
…About 1 in 6 #US adults reported currently taking #SSRI #medications, which are widely available in generic form, acc/to a 2026 study in the medical journal BMJ #MentalHealth. The American Psychiatric Association considers #SSRIs a first option, evidence-based treatment for #depression.
The #FDA has authority over their use, & any new restrictions would require strong scientific evidence of a risk to patients that outweighs their benefits. Reviewing new evidence could take months or years….
…#RFKJr on Monday announced initiatives intended to reduce #SSRI use, while attempting to reassure Americans who still “want” [have] to take them. They include reimbursement guidelines for physicians who help patients come off of the medications as well as plans to share data on prescribing trends & an investment in training for #healthcare providers.

"Nick Fortino and renowned psychiatrist Dr. David Healy look at modern psychiatry and psychopharmacology. Dr. Healy, a vocal critic of the pharmaceutical industry's influence, exposes how the "serotonin myth" emerged from marketing, reveals how antidepressants (SSRIs) can blunt emotions and cause iatrogenic harm, and discusses the public health crisis of long-term drug use, urging a reevaluation of mental healthcare, especially for children."—Psychology Is
