It took a freedom of information act to expose the truth. The drug makers have been hiding the negitive studies.

Now a new Study: Antidepressants Work No Better Than Placebos for the vast majority of depressed people.

The drug makers have been out right lying about the efficacy of antidepressants.They have been caught red handed.
For the majority of people, the drugs are no better then snake oil.
If the only problem was that, the drug is a placebo for the vast majority people who have been given it, I would not care.
But it is far from the only problem!
The Physicians' Desk Reference lists the following adverse reactions (side effects) to antidepressants among a host of other physical and neuropsychiatric effects: manic reaction (mania, e.g. kleptomania, pyromania, dipsomania), emotional lability (or instability), abnormal thinking, alcohol abuse, hallucinations, hostility, lack of emotion, paranoid reaction, amnesia, confusion, agitation, delirum, delusions, hysteria, psychosis, sleep disorders, abnormal dreams, and discontinuation (withdrawal) syndrome. Adverse reactions are especially likely when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another SSRI. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms could be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced). Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can also cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, usually over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced specialist.
In addition to the adverse reactions listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference, the FDA published a Public Health Advisory on March 22, 2004 which states (in part): "Anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric."
The vast majority of school and other recent massacres have involved people going on or coming off these drugs.
Many otherwise loving parents have killed their own children wile going on or coming off these drugs.
This website is a collection of 2100+ news stories with the full media article available,

I have personally witnessed some who who became scary psychotic and violent wile in withdrawal. Someone who is normally highly, intelligent gentle, kind and loving. This is a person I dearly love.
For some people the often horrendous withdrawal effects last for years after quitting.
Withdrawal effects such as Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempts, Homicidal thoughts or urges, Chest pain, racing heart, Auditory hallucinations, Visual hallucinations, Disequilibrium, Serious Headache, Numbness, burning, Electric zap-like sensations in the brain, Electric shock-like sensations in the body, Abnormal visual sensations, Spasms in the eyes, Loud ringing or other noises in the ears, Abnormal smells or tastes, Drooling, Slurred speech, Blurred vision, Muscle cramps, stiffness, twitches and much more. Most people describe it as hell.
Frequency of withdrawal reactions
Antidepressant______halflife_______Frequency of withdrawal reactions
Effexor____________5 hours_____________78%
Paxil_____________21 hours_____________66%
Zoloft____________26 hours_____________60%
Prozac___________4-6 days_____________14%
People can become completely incapacitated by SSRI withdrawal.

Suicide, homicide, nightmare side effects all for a drug that is little more then snake oil for the majority of people.

Should the drug industry be held responsible for their betrayal of the American people?
