  1. [It can be very dangerous to come off #psychiatric #medications. It must be done slowly & while under physician supervision. In addition to the likelihood of symptoms returning, coming off an #SSRI can cause severe physical #withdrawal, some of which may never dissipate making it impossible for the patient to ever totally stop the medication. #SerotoninWithdrawalSyndrome can be debilitating; symptoms include severe dizziness, nausea, loss of balance, & frequent vomiting.]

  2. …Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking ⁠approval contained ​false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.

  7. …About 1 in 6 #US adults reported currently taking #SSRI #medications, which are widely available in generic form, acc/to a 2026 study in the medical journal BMJ #MentalHealth. The American ​Psychiatric Association considers #SSRIs a first option, evidence-based treatment for #depression.

    The #FDA has authority over their use, & ​any new restrictions would require strong scientific evidence of a risk to patients that outweighs their benefits. Reviewing new evidence could take months or years….

  8. The majority of abortions in the #US are obtained through #medications, usually a combination of #mifepristone & a second drug, #misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of #abortion bans that most #Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 #SCOTUS ruling that overturned #RoeVWade & allowed for state bans.

    So! I was ignoring the phrase 'blister packs' because I was thinking of the sheets you get in any medication box.
    No, apparently.
    (Canadian, at least) pharmacies refer to "personalised pill packs" as blister packs.
    *That's* what I was missing.

  21. After getting a nickle-sized black #bruise that lasted 3 days from a recent 40-second blood draw, I wondered what causes them in the course of ' #SeniorLiving '

    One result commonly seen on the back of elder hands is from "Peripheral Cannulation"

    i.e., infusions of #medications, #chemo therapy, vital fluids (i.e., rehydration/nutrients/electrolytes), and even 'recreational drug use'.
