Dr Peter Breggin: The Conscience of Psychiatry

[@ynot9954]

After half my life, sixteen years of asking psychs to withdraw my meds then eventually denied I've decided I'm tapering off them myself. Thanks Dr. Breggin for your book psychiatric drug withdrawal.

It seems like once someone you know starts on these doctor prescribed mind altering drugs, I have difficulty reasoning with them. This is very distressing when it's someone you love. Both my sister and mother have been taking them, and now my wife. I start thinking maybe it's me... but I didn't have much interaction with my mother and sister before they started taking them they live in a different town. They make them slow to think, any conflicts or situations that require advanced conflict resolution are simply avoided by them. The problems remain, but they simply are not addressed.

[@davidr.1391]

I was on them for nearly 30 years, and found out the hard way, when thinking when I stopped, it wasn't a big deal. Now about 7 years off, and my social IQ is rising. When I went to a clinical psychologist, I couldn't remember more than 3 numbers, now I recall more than 7 (off the neurotoxins), but I couldn't sleep for at least 4 years after withdrawing for more than 1-2 hours a night... nothing can compare to the agony they've put me through, in my later years however, I'm so much happier now, though I lost my career, my relationships, any kind of life I should have had. "The Myth of Mental Illness," by Thomas Szasz who was a colleague of my grandfather is right after all. I still feel the effects (tinnitus) of those neurotoxins, but I'm able to enjoy life now, and can read books and concentrate more than I ever could. I wouldn't want my worst enemy to go through what I have, well maybe (sorry) those who are so cavalier with how they make their living @@williamvaughan1218

My Big Pharma and psychiatric nightmare started ~7 years ago in Ithaca NY. If I had found Dr. Breggin at the time I truly think he would have saved me nearly a decade of my life… ty for your work they should give you national recognition if they haven’t already

[@incognito595]

Like a Nobel Prize in Medicine. We could wish to nominate him, but you have to be an insider to even nominate candidates, so that wouldn't work.

Subscribed! I LOVE Peter Breggin, he is one of my heroes. He is such a beautiful soul. You can tell how much he cares, that is so very rare in psychiatry. My psychiatrist referred me to a nutritionist today after I told her I would NEVER go to the treatment resistant depression clinic because the only thing my insurance covers is ECT/brain trauma. Fuck that! I listened to his video on it and immediately called the clinic and told them I was cancelling my appointment. It’s barbaric! My psychiatrist actually agrees with me and is helping me get off of gabapentin and eventually suboxone. I have been on antidepressants for years and had a seizure due to them about six months ago. I nearly died. There is nothing safe about them. He is an angel for telling the world the truth about these awful drugs. I want to follow in his footsteps.

[@deborahevans5188]

Allyson Anderson You ought to have seen all the prescriptions that were “accidentally” mailed to me, one after another, after another ad nauseous. I even had a Dr. tell me, “ you can take all that you want and it won’t hurt you. “

[@loisolivas5222]

I had 12 ECT Treatments at University Hospital in Salt Lake City. They didn’t give me the info I should’ve been given about the terrible long term effects. I had never had suicidal thought before the ECT treatments, but constantly battle the thoughts now. I have very little memory of what happened, but my friend told me I was flatlined. I only remember being told immediately before the treatments “Don’t worry. We will breathe for you.” I had no idea what they were doing to me. Some of my friends thought I was doing better because I had anxiety before the treatments, buy was very quiet and submissive after the treatments, even though, I filled out a form before each treatment, saying I felt no improvement in my mood. My short term memory is terrible and I forget the answers to questions I ask several times, even though I had the ECT treatments 2 years ago. I can’t express my feelings the way I once could. I feel like my brain is mush. What can I do? I could literally feel evil in the hospital.

TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF YOUR DAMAGED BODY, THAT IT HAS ALL THE OPPORTUNITY POSSIBLE TO HEAL ITSELF. IT TAKES TIME. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BY LOVING YOURSELF AS YOU WOULD ANOTHER, WITH EXERCISE AND DAILY ACTIVITY IN THE SUNLIGHT, RAW FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, NUTS, GOOD FATS, LOW CARBS, NO PROCESSED SUGAR. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. CALL THEM. CRY IF YOU MUST, THEN DRY YOUR TEARS AND ASK ABOUT THEM. OFFER TO HELP WITH THEIR NEEDS. THIS IS THE SUPPORT SYSTEM YOU NEED. FIND WAYS TO DO WHAT YOUR LOVE. ALSO, IF YOU CAN, GET WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST ECT, WITH. A GOOD, ETHICAL JEWISH ATTORNEY. GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS. WE CAN CHAT HERE IF YOU LIKE.

I'm so sorry that those wretched pseudoscientific pretenders tried to destroy you. I'll be thinking of you, and remember that humans are amazingly adaptable to any circumstances. We can overcome anything with enough discipline and stoicism.

This man is the Angel of Psychiatry. It’s a horrific SHAME that all shrinks aren’t like this man. I’ve been privileged to know an Angel of a physician, he’s very much like Dr Breggin (sadly he has retired, taking away from the sick a VERY AMAZING CARING Doctor. Miss you very much Doc J!)!!! I wish Dr Breggin was the Doctor in charge of my older brother’s psychological issues. Maybe then my brother wouldn’t be the paranoid, violent, mentally devestated shell of who he used to be.

Thanks you for telling true

[@wildhumans8116]

I'm currently taking one antipsychotic medication, but my doctor is considering adding a second antipsychotic to help manage a side effect of the first - elevated prolactin levels. Additionally, they're suggesting a Parkinson's disease medication to address muscle twitches and cramps, maybe an antidepressant to help with avolition (lack of motivation), and an anti-anxiety medication to alleviate restlessness. They're also considering something to combat cognitive decline. I'm already taking laxatives for constipation and painkillers for headaches sometimes. I'm concerned about the cumulative effect of so many medications and wonder when this madness will stop.

[@loishines1023]

I strongly recommend that you not go down that path. Psychiatric drugs destroyed my sister's life -- they kept adding drug after drug to manage symptoms caused by previously prescribed drugs.

[@lunasinger2735]

@@wildhumans8116 you are developing tardive dyskinesia. Stop the pills you are on, now. The prolactin-causing antipsychotic is, I am guessing, Risperdal. Look up the Voices support group, it is online, and some counties have in person groups. Polypharmacy is HORRIBLE. The only antipsychotic I have ever seen work is Zyprexa. All antipsychotic meds should be doses according to sex, height and weight. What is your life like now? Are you in a supportive place? Are you lonely? Situation is the most important part of mental health. Finda different doctor, or start reading other people's stories. Do NOT go down this road.

[@gregorybaillie2093]

Psychiatry is similar to pharmacology and virology. They are all based on the error of the specific aetiology of human pathology. These disciplines in their machinations violate the rules and protocols of the scientific method. That is not to say that no good has come from practitioners but that it has is a product of good luck more than anything else.
