Spent a week in a locked suicide ward...no visitors or calls, but dedicated mental health, nursing and psychiatric team...apparently I had to ask and say I was before admission and after release apparently no one even knew I was struggling...

They diagnosed me bipolar put me on one and then a second medication to help tolerate the muscle movement...an empathetic NP took me off those and slowly adjusted an off label seizure medication

I continue with a regimented control with counseling, faith, medication and 12 steps...

Your continued sharing of Woody's story, gave me the knowledge to ask important questions of my sons healthcare provider. Her response that yes, there are blackbox suicide warnings but in all the years she has given Zoloft to teens, she has only had two or three that became suicidal. We no longer see that healthcare professional.

The Health Information Leaflet for professionals says Zoloft was approved in 1991 but had a warning in para 14.4 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that Zoloft was not effective for men. So any prescription was not legal because it was of NO benefit to the patient but had side-effects.

Kim,

Your courage to battle this issue of “unspeakable hardship” is commended. I personally understand the horrific adverse events of SSRIs and we must continue to fight for justice . No individual or family should suffer the broken dreams of lost or injured love ones by an industry sworn to “Do No Harm”. For many decades now the truth as been uncovered about these meds that are “bad & mad science” and society must be warned. The day of reckoning is near for Big Pharma to be held accountable and liable for generations of broken dreams and forever hardship. Godspeed

Kim, thank you for your continued efforts to expose the truth; teach the public about SSRI’s; and give families an opportunity to share their stories.

My own personal and professional experience informs me of the validity of this work , thank you for making it available.

May God in His wisdom guide it into the hands of all who are able to utilise it for the good of humanity.

my husband committed suicide on antidepressants. It has been more than 14 years now, but there are still days you sit down and think what would have happened if I had just given him st Johns wort instead of letting him go see a psychiatrist.

This is so important to talk about. I almost lost a family member to a suicide attempt caused by the Prozac they’d been prescribed, and almost was traumatic enough. Thank you for continuing to speak out.

It is a shame that none of those who died suddenly are recognized by the mainstream media as having died of ignorant and/or naive suicide by "vaccine."

see 14.4 ..............As PTSD is a more common disorder in women than men, the majority (76%) of patients in Studies PSTD-1 and PSTD-2 described above were women. Post hoc exploratory analyses revealed a statistically significant difference between ZOLOFT and placebo on the CAPS, IES and CGI in women, regardless of baseline diagnosis of comorbid major depressive disorder, but essentially no effect in the relatively smaller number of men in these studies. The

clinical significance of this apparent gender effect is unknown at this time. There was insufficient information to determine the effect of race or age on outcome.

My conclusion: When there is essentially NO EFFECT IN MEN who cares about clinical significance, gender, race or age.

At the end of the first page of the Foreword the autor writes that my documentation was used to write the book Requiem for Presumed Diseases, Paperback, - June 29, 2012.

The book is one of a kind. It is hardly to find another text that explains in a normal way what fraud is going on and have this documented. Pse read before it disappears from the internet.

Summary

In this report a novel animal model based on the dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia is described. The goal of the study was to evaluate the reversibility of amphetamine induced agitation in Beagle dogs. This model is similar to previously described locomotory studies in rats, where rats are dosed with amphetamine to produce an agitated state. The underlying principle of these studies is based on the fact that amphetamine greatly increases the amount of dopamine released in the mesolimbic system of the brain. Since dopamine is one of the primary neurotransmitters related to schizophrenia, the construct validity of these models is considered to be reasonably high.

Some substances can however have limited or bad kinetic distribution in rodents, and thus not be properly tested in rats. Also, some substance related side-effects have been known to be only detectable in the non-rodent species. In these cases the tested canine model could potentially be used as an alternative method for detecting antipsychotic activity of substances. For this model to be of added value, it has to provide a good predictive validity.

For the experiment 12 Marshall Beagle dogs (6 male and 6 female) were selected based on their relatively low locomotory activity. The dogs were divided into 2 groups and dosed once per week. An actiwatch (sleep analysis system) was placed around the dogs necks before dosing and locomotion was registered continuously during an 8 hour period. The animals were subcutaneously dosed with 2,5 mg/kg amphetamine half an hour after dosing with a known antipsychotic. Observations were done at 75 and 45 minutes before dosing with amphetamine and 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after dosing. The body temperature was also measured at these time intervals. Observations were done for 1 min. in front of the cage and for 10 min. through camera’s (undisturbed). During the observation periods stereotypical behavior caused by amphetamine was scored.

Two doses of haloperidol, olanzapine and risperidone were tested in this manner. The doses for these antipsychotics were based on ED50 values from previous conditioned avoidance response experiments. Results were compared to the maximum agitation; a value obtained from dosing with amphetamine without antipsychotic.

The results indicate that all tested antipsychotics are able to produce a lower state of locomotion as well as lower body temperature and stereotypy compared to dosing with amphetamine. While these results confirm the viability of the mechanisms of the model, no clear statements can be made about the predictive validity yet. This would require further investigation of more dosages of antipsychotics, tested in a higher number of dogs.

Kim, I tried to share Pfizer and FDA documents with you. It is hard evidence that Zoloft is NOT effective for men. The upload was not successfull.

If you can give me an email-adress I will send you the documents.

Kim in the biomedical master study at Antwerp, Belgium all antidepressiva are discussed as one group because they have the same core structure being amphetamine and also the same aim and target receptors. The amphetamine kills the mitochondria and the braincell will die. In the end it causes all kind of health complaints as so dementia and alzheimer. I guess you and your team know this.

My evidence is that the Court of Appeal of Pharmacist in Belgium has approved this rational.

Your comment is not complete and partly wrong. I am aware that you learned a lot in checking out the makeup of the clinical trial and about who they are testing on. But this is a personal statement.

I wonder what documents you have and read and what you find the evidence to support your "there was one drug for women and it was tested on men". Pfizer gave the FDA their findingfs of the clinical trials of Zoloft or Sertraline and that reports that the clinical trials were on women and men. Pfizer said the drug was not effective for men especially veterans of the VA Hospital. There was no information of influence of race or age.

Please support your statement with evidence.

The drug Zoloft or Sertraline was only approved by the FDA when Pfizer included a warning that the drug was not effective in men (veterans). This was on basis of only 2 of more clinical trials. Pfizer did't

have more then these 2 clinical trials to prove that the drug was also effective for men.

Why not when they can double their profit when it is also effective for men ?

Because it is now known that they sell an amphetamine in disguise that harms the health of men !!!

The core element in the drug formula is phenylalkylamine in the molecule that can enter through the receptor(s) in the cell and then damage the mitochondria.
