joy2730 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Medicine is in a constant state of evolution, new solutions will be found, but the research and development is also moving away from psychiatry into cancer and diabetes in the UK, plus obesity, as R&D is nervous of prosecutions against them, as are drug manufacturers. The Government may have to subsidise research and development and put in clauses so that the public can't sue. There is a long way to go. The market is stagnant at a time in history when more and more people are developing mental health issues.

Staz Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 More and more people seem to be having mental health issues as more and more prescriptions for benzos, a/d's and a/s meds are issued.

Mirtazapine 2015 tapered off after 4 months no problem -Prozac 20mg 2012-2015 tapered off no problems Prozac 20mg April 2016-May 2016 stopped ct after 4 weeks due to adverse reaction I believe to be serotnin toxicity due to mirtazapine interaction Escitlopram 10 mg May 2016 - cut to 5mg May 2016 stopped ct November 2016 no W/d's noted Lyrica 300mg May 2016 - July 2017 - Taper from Jan to Jul 17 awful taper.

joy2730 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yes, it certainly seems that the treatments are in fact contributing to the mental health problems occurring. It seems that the more we rely on medication to help the more unable we are to develop our own coping skills and have the confidence to try to live without them. Also, antidepressants can make us more vulnerable to future relapses of depression, although it is impossible to know what is withdrawal and what is relapse. Withdrawal depression seems to be even more intense that original depressions, and of a different nature, more violent, more angry, more nasty and destructive. We are, as a society, in a mess with all this. We are all in the soup together, patients, relatives, marriages, different countries, doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, drug companies, governments. The WHO surely is working on this issue?
