SSRIs turn people into mass murders and turn kids into zombies!

I know because a YouTube video said so!!! :sarcasm:

1. GRRRRRRR!

As a long term ssri taker I resent this characterization.

[Odin2005]

2. Yep. I take Paxil. It's complete bull.

6. This is my second biggest pet peeve here

right behind the anti-vaxxers. As someone who has had a relative whose LIFE has been saved by SSRI's and who benefits from them myself this ignorance PISSES me off, big time.

14. You're just a tool of Big-Pharma

That's the only possible reason you don't agree with the anti-SSRI paranoia.

:sarcasm:

3. audio cassette proteins.

Good stuff.

4. Can I recruit the child zombies into helping me with the murders?

I mean it seems like a natural alliance.

[Odin2005]

5. Go right ahead!

BWAHAHAHA!!!

[TZ]

7. Its like clockwork isn't it Odin?

Somepne goes on a shooting rampage and its not that they are mentally ill..Its cause they were on DRUGS!

[Odin2005]

8. Yep, and then I get told that I'm "lucky" that I wasn't "harmed" my them.

:eyes:

9. Going off them suddenly makes people WACKO, though

I know, I missed a couple of doses when I was trying them for FMS and I found myself throwing a chair across the living room when I got frustrated with something. A co worker's husband was a woohead who talked her into stopping hers suddenly and she tried to run him over with her car. She missed, something we all regretted, he was a jerk who richly deserved it.

I have to think that's what's happening with most of the people taking SSRIs who have violent episodes. They need to be told every time they see the doc that trying to go off them all at once will make them CRAZY and that they need to be tapered down slowly.

The worst part is that SSRIs didn't help me, at all, and I did end up tapering off the damned things. It took me about 6 months.

While they can be lifesavers for people who respond well to them, they should be handed out with a lot more caution than they are now.

11. True but how many people who truly need these meds

Won't take them because of the woos scare tactics? I really think that besides being overproscribed the other side of the coin is the fear of those who really need them.

[Warpy]

12. Right, and even generics are too expensive for many

because there is no way they can drag themselves to a high enough level, full time job to have medical benefits.

That's also probably a factor in people stopping them suddenly and going nuts.

The wooheads will never admit any of this, of course. They're thrilled to join the corporations in their ongoing war against the American people.

10. Just thinking about how many stories I've heard of relatives

long dead, but self medicated with alcohol for what would now be diagnosed as depression. I guess we should go back to the "good old days" instead of using these drugs. :eyes:

[Warpy]

13. My extended family is full of bipolars who

try to self medicate with alcohol to take the peaks off the highs and numb the lows. It's one reason my family is so full of alcoholics.

I think back in the really good old days before Anslinger and the rest of the early, racist drug warriors, people self medicated a lot with laudanum, cocaine, and alcohol.

Most of them were probably better off, titrating the drugs to the point they felt the best.

15. Well then, gimme some!

I want to ease through life as a sallow zombie, scaring the crap out of anyone who gets in my way. No more waiting at the gas pumps and every checkout is an express checkout. Plus, half off on everything with an undead stare and one word -- braaaains.

If these magic pills don't bless me with undead chic, lying Big Pharma Woos owe me a big honking apology.

[Odin2005]

16. LOL!!!
