Drug Detox for Antidepressants? You May Have More Reason to Get Off Them Now Than Ever

Here’s the latest in the increasingly long list of Big Pharma/FDA ‘blunders’, and one more reason you might want to check into medical drug detox.

A team of scientists led by Erick Turner of the Oregon Health & Science University and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center reviewed the published literature about antidepressants and compared it to the documents submitted by the manufacturers to the FDA for approval. And what do you know? Surprise, surprise: the information we’ve all been given, including our doctors, about the effectiveness of antidepressants isn’t true.

Turner found 33 unpublished antidepressant studies that had negative or, at least, not positive, results. The information in those studies was never made public.

What does this mean?

Antidepressants are not as effective as we were led to believe.

We’ve been lied to, again.

Our doctors have been lied to and are prescribing drugs for us that have not really been proven to help us.

We are putting our sanity and our physical health at risk – have you seen the side effects of these drugs! – for ‘results’ that may be non-existent.

Add to that the fact that many antidepressants have the side effect of suicidal thoughts and behavior – isn’t that going in the wrong direction? - and have even been implicated in numerous suicides and homicides, and we have another drug-related disaster on our hands.

The good news is that we now know the truth. And we can do a good medical drug detox program to get off them. Ask your doctor about it, and then give us a call.
