I'm Janette from Scotland  and this is my son, Danny, whose life has been stolen for 21 years by antidepressants and antipsychotics.

It started when he was given Seroxat age 16 for depression. This led  to mania, psychosis and delirium.

No one realised this was a side effect of Seroxat. He was hospitalised, prescribed antipsychotics, MISDIAGNOSED as schizophrenic.

After nine years on SSRIs, a helpful GP started SSRI reduction. Taken off too quickly. Then began WITHDRAWAL HELL. Severe paranoia, agoraphobia, depersonalisation, derealisation, psychosis, hostility, five years in and out of psychiatric wards.

Further side effects suffered from prescribed psychiatric drugs include capgras syndrome, tourettism, involuntary yelping, gastro bleeding, liver problems, bone shrinkage, gum disease, high BP, tachycardia, impotence, dystonia, massive weight gain, Parkinsonism, frequent urination, excessive salivation, periodic constipation, akathisia etc.

When he was 15, we were told he was ‘university material’. Now he has been under mental health sections for nine consecutive years. His life has been destroyed.

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.
