204	Anonymous	My son and I were victims of this evil and both of us became suicidal from these drugs. We survived, but our lives were hugely harmed by evil psychiatry with the fraudulent stigmas and toxic drugs since they are in bed with Big Pharma and are psychopaths themselves like the original nazi doctors.

216	Diana Chalmers	I am soooooooo sorry for your loss. God bless you in your battle. I was on these drugs for 11 yrs before I got good information. God blessed me that I am still here.
217	Lily Fong	I wish you all the success in getting support for this worthy cause. I was also adversely affected by these drugs. I took them for 3 1/2 mos., cold turkeyed off of it and now almost three years from my last intake, I'm still suffering... I want these drugs banned! We need to work together to inform and the educate the public about the dangers of anti-depressants. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. Thank you for your strength and courage to fight for this cause. Lily

225	Deanna Couture	I am glad you are doing this, my daughter was on Paxil for quite some time and I also had issues with her and suicidal thoughts and this was with a medication that was supposed to bring her out of depression. Doctors need to be more intuned to their patients and not so quick to just prescribe medicine as a fix all
226	Heidi Howard	These drugs appear to work but have to be changed frequently. Finding the "right" dosage is often found by the doctor's guesswork. .
227	Arielle Kaplan	Stop anti-depressants!
228	Susan A. Brown	I know people who have become violent, manic, or psychotic on antidepressants; symptoms that they did not have before taking these drugs. They were then prescribed other drugs to counteract their new syptoms of "mental illness." They started out a little depressed, something that could be and should be handled with nutrition, counseling, and lifestyle changes; and ended up with a full blown psychiatric diagnosis that chained them to powerful, brain-damaging (see Breggin, Peter M.D. Toxic Psychiatry) for years to come. There is no proof that mental or emotional disorders result from a "chemical imbalance" in the brain, and they certainly don't arise from a deficiency of these synthetic and dangerous drugs. The brain is a highly responsive and plastic organ. It responds to our wills, our thoughts, our environment. If biochemical changes are detected (and there are as yet no tests available to measure neurotransmitter levels in the brain) during mental or emotional suffering, these could just as easily be the result of the sufferer's life situation, and the proper way to help them would be to help them make the appropriate changes in their life and the way they think and respond to the pressures of life. The many forms of psychological counseling have proven helpful in alleviating this type of suffering. If there is a biochemical component to mental or emotional disorders, we should be looking at nutrition. Our western society consumes, on average, a notoriously poor diet and many who attempt to eat well have an inability to metabolize certain essential nutrients (for instance, over 50% of the population has impaired ability to metabolize B vitamins, essential for many nervous system functions and useful for an overall sense of well-being). Psychiatrists are not trained in detecting these deficiencies. Instead they are trained to hold "alternative" medicine suspect, and they almost never test for these types of illnesses, which are, by contrast detectible in blood or urine tests. What is so "alternative" about the science of the basic building blocks of the body, vitamins, proteins, fats (Omega 3 fish oil is a safe and natural mood stabilizer) and other nutrients, and how they are metabolized? And those brain-scans that are held up for proof of how different the brains of the "mentally ill" are from so-called normal persons' (they show open spaces of missing tissue) are taken from patients who have been on psychiatric drugs for years, only proving what is know from test on mice and rats with these drugs: they cause brain-damage. Brain scans of mentally disordered people who have never taken these drugs look identical to those of people with no psychiatric diagnosis, unless, of course, you are taking the pictures when a person is actively experiencing their mental suffering, then different areas of the brain will light up or be dark, but I challenge you to deny that the very same thing happens when one is performing any type of activity or thinking about doing something as opposed to another. For instance, the brain of someone soaking in a bathtub will look different from someone riding a horse; of someone who is angry than of someone who is rocking their sleeping baby, etc. Mental and emotional distress is an opportunity, albeit a painful one (but what life is without pain) to reevaluate and reinvent ones life. They are rich with personal meaning and serve as a wake-up call that we need to address our whole world-view and way of relating to that world. Psychosocial therapies and self-help techniques that emphasise this interpretation have worked to alleviate and even cure the most stubborn of depressions and even manias and psychoses. Psychotropic drugs and electorshock therapy, indeed the whole mental health system with its incarceration and restraint of people who have committed no crime, its forced drugging, psychosurgery and electroshock, need point to an erroneous understanding of the nature of mental distress and its proper solution. They point to an erronious and very frightening worldview on the part of our medical, legal and governmental powers. They are swallowing up some of our most creative and intelligent thinkers, and our children. In short I urge you to ban antidepressants and all psychiatric drugs, especially neuroleptics (antipsychotics). They are destroying brains, lives, and the very fabric of our society.
229	Ashlee Wixom	I sincerly hope this works and get's rid of these horrible drugs! I'm sorry about your daughter.

231	Lyla Lett	I am in my sixties and experienced great turmoil with the antidepressants and antianxiety medications so it doesn't only affect the young adversely. It has taken years to recover from them.

234	salvador castillo	hope everything goes well...
235	Melanie Hanni	it is so sad the monster that has been created with anti-depressants, we should be helping people to get to the bottom of their problems not masking them.

237	Anonymous	I think there are often other ways to approach healing other than with drugs, but sometimes drugs are necessary and for those times, I am glad they there. But often they are misused, misprescribed, overprescribed or outright abused. A more responsible attitude must be taken by our care providers - these are powerful mind altering substances and should not be given without SERIOUS consideration and then, I belive, only after other avenues for healing have been exhausted.
