“In psychiatry, as in all areas of medicine, prescribing and deprescribing occur every day as part of individualized, evidence-based treatment planning between physicians and patients. The solution is not to stigmatize psychiatric medication or impose broad assumptions on clinical care, but to ensure that patients have access to the full range of evidence-based treatments and that decisions are guided by the best available science and each patient’s needs.”

🚨🚨🚨 RFKJr’s “health” officials explored US #ban of some widely-used #antidepressants🚨🚨🚨

#US #health dept ​ofcls last week explored whether they could ban certain drugs in a widely prescribed class of #antidepressants as #HHS Secy #RFKJr prepared to roll out a plan to reduce their use….

Their interest centered on…selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or #SSRIs, such as #Zoloft, #Prozac & #Lexapro, which have been available in the US for decades….

“Depression is linked to overly rigid brain circuits that resist change, and by softening these circuits and altering how their mitochondria function, fluoxetine may create a window of plasticity or flexibility in the brain. #DNA #ISOGG #Prozac #brain #geneadons #cognitive #Epigenetics

#doxepin was bad. Made me feel like crap, slowed me down. After 3 weeks just had to stop it.

That pales in comparison to #mirtazapine. It turned me into a drooling incomprehensible unable-to-think zombie. Horrendous. Really really bad on every level.

#venlafaxine is fine, as was #prozac. Amitryp was ugh, Lithium made me ill, Valproate made me huge.

YMMV

RFK Jr. Is Already Taking Aim at Antidepressants
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/kennedy-rfk-antidepressants-ssri-school-shootings/

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.

RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".

This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.

This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

Fish On Prozac: Psychiatric Drug Pollution May Harm Wild Fish

"Antidepressants like Prozac (fluoxetine) have helped millions of people around the world, but studies show they may be harming wildlife and wild fish."

3/ That discussion was enough to send C into a panic and downward spiral again, and yesterday we went into #hospital again because C felt #reducedmovements. I think that’s the third time we’ve been in for that reason. The observations were all good and so while I’m reassured, C is still on edge. About 14 weeks in, C reluctantly decided to start on 40mg of #fluoxetene / #Prozac to get her out of her #mentalhealth crisis. She’s now thinking about upping it, but worries about the impact on baby.

Where is my #Prozac?

I want to try it.

Now.

Prozac Contamination in Water Is Changing Fish Behaviors, Study Finds #environment #water #marinelife #fish #drugs #Prozac https://www.ecowatch.com/prozac-water-contamination-fish-behavior.html

🔴 Prozac entering waterways is changing how fish behave and reproduce, study says

“Even at low concentrations, fluoxetine altered the guppies’ body condition and increased the size of their gonopodium, while simultaneously reducing sperm velocity – an essential factor for reproductive success,” study co-author Upama Aich from Monash University in Australia said.

The journal article is paywalled, but the preprint is available:
https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.10.540268

" Thus, prompt fluoxetine
may block the transmitter switch in the 5-HTlwDR by blocking glucocorticoid receptor-mediated
gene transcription in 5-HTlwDR neurons. We found that treatment with fluoxetine two weeks after
footshock did not block transmitter switching and acquisition of generalized fear. The short time
window for effective therapy may explain why PTSD patients with long histories of this disorder
are less responsive to SSRIs (56)"

#fluoxetine #Prozac

I lost accurate count, but I'm now about 10 days into the Prozac withdrawal. Apart from the persistent sleep issues, I'm feeling pretty decent.

I still have a couple of weeks to go before it's completely out of my system, but the hard part is over.

I am still microdosing the psilocybin 2-3x per week and will continue this to treat the depression which will inevitably return, although hopefully diminished.

One day at a time. :)

Hoping to see a change

Each time I take my #Prozac without eating in the hour my stomach is burning as hell. 💊♨️
