Hi my name is Alex I’m from Australia. I was healthy and living my life but had anxiety issues when I was 27. I sought help from psychiatry and was given a cocktail of medications which have ruined my life. I've been severely polydrugged and suffering from severe unrelenting akathisia which may end my life. The whole system and psychiatry as I know now is a complete sham, there are so many innocent people being harmed. I just wanted someone to remember me in case my story isn't told. Thank you

Warning

 

The most extreme reactions to antidepressants, including suicide and violence, are more common when the dosage of an antidepressant changes or when starting or discontinuing the medication. Sometimes these reactions are caused by switching from one type of antidepressant to another. Anyone considering altering the dosage of their medication or withdrawing from it should take medical advice first from a doctor or suitably qualified practitioner. Some doctors are unaware of these issues so you may need to find one who recognises the problems and can support you.
