#zoloft — Public Fediverse posts

“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….

This happened to me when I had my Zoloft dosage increased.

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.

How many medical doctors prescribe this, chronically, and take advantage of patients’ vulnerabilities while on it? #adversereactions

5. Remember this #zoloft commercial? https://youtu.be/twhvtzd6gXA The #fda approved this and this was the marketing? (Reagan allowed direct-to-consumer drug advertising, incidentally) — This is NOT how depression works. Yet the #esketamine version of treatment for depression must be given with a NEW antidepressant. Several FDA advisory board panelists worked on Spravato, and understand the reported effects under acute and chronic use. Racemic ketamine, a generic, widelay-available Fda-approved med.

The Wilderness of Ill

I came across a song I wrote and recorded years ago, titled “Fences.”
“I’m looking for a land with no fences. I’m heading for the wilderness, where the land is still at rest.” A year after writing it, I moved from the city to the wilderness.

Ten years later, I found myself wandering in another desert place. I had always been a man of good constitution. In my late 30s, I could not seem to stay well. I was wandering in the Wilderness of Ill.

Now another ten years have passed, and even though I have the typical aches and pains of a 40-plus-year-old body, I have my health back. Perhaps with age comes wisdom, but also a willingness to listen to those who might have the answer. The healing began in my belly and moved to my mind.

First, I discovered I was gluten intolerant. I simply stopped eating wheat and could stop drinking bottles of Mylanta. My gut healed. Now I’m having to cut back on soda, namely Dr. Pepper, which I am addicted to, but it is a nice problem to have. For a while there, I couldn’t have any because of severe heartburn.

Secondly, after much consultation with friends and my doc, I started taking Zoloft. I had avoided the symptoms of depression for years. Being someone who enjoys life and laughter has given me many coping mechanisms, but the ups and downs are taking their toll as life’s stresses increase. I was worried that my creativity would disappear, and it has been an adjustment. Now instead of the muse coming out of my manic phases, it is arising out of my center. There is more work involved, but the joy is deeper.

So I no longer wander in the Wilderness of Ill, though I still spend way too much time lurking around its borders. My belly and brain serve as gentle voices to steer me back into the land of plenty.
