Class Action Lawsuit Against Manufacturers of Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, Lexapro, Paxil, Seroquel and Ativan

I was put on 12 different antidepressants from the age 12-19. I am now 23, and I believe they ruined who i was. When I was 18 I was raped, and i and felt like i needed an antidepressant to get myself back into the world after 6 months of separating myself from everyone. Then I was prescribed Citalopram (Celexa). My doctor knew about the rape and kept in contact with the counselor I was seeing. Mind you, I was seeing her 3 times a week because I felt like I was crazy. I didn't want to kill myself, but I would hope and hope to be in a car accident. I would be upset when I was alive at the end of everyday. I told my doctor after a week because I couldn't handle it anymore. I would lay in my room and cry for days. I never felt that low, even after the rape I didn't feel remotely close to the way citalopram made me feel/ think. Anyway, he told me I need to take it another week. I was just adjusting to it. I listened. I attempted suicide. 46 slashes on my arms. My counselor went to his office when she heard. She even stopped working with him. Now, I have severe anxiety, about EVERYTHING. I feel crazy. Nobody understands, because they haven't felt this way. They think it's in my head. It ruined my life. This isn't right. I want to be me again. it's been 6 years now.

I was on the medication Seroquel zolft furmate iam ssurffering from orgnic ptsd

I have been having trouble with my memory since I started takeing ativan how do I get help

I took Ativan 15 years. When I started on this medication, I had no idea it caused significant memory loss. I was very diligent about researching any medication that was prescribed before taking it. Many years later, I was told that it caused significant memory loss. By that time, I was already affected by it. I could not read a paragraph, and remember what I had just read. I could not remember things that happened in my past. It is also physically addicting, so I could not simply stop taking it. It took several years before I was finally able to taper off of this medication. Today, I can verily remember what happened during those years, and I feel it has caused some sort of permanent damage, since I am unable to function as I once did. When I was able to come off of this medication, I actually felt the detoxification. It had saturated every cell of my body. Although I took my medication in the Evening, it affected me during the day time, I had several accidents while on this medication, in my car, and at home. I had no idea it was the medication, until I stopped taking it, I became more alert, and I no longer felt saturated by this toxin. But I am not fully myself. I had a sharp memory once, but now, I can no longer remember even simple details. I'm not a pharmacist, nor a doctor, but I was educated in the medical field and took pharmacology in college. I would "never" have agreed to take a medication that I knew would debilitate me, nor one I thought would cause long-term problems. My former husband was a med student, and he was unaware of certain side affects of these drugs as well. I'm angry, because I know what pharmaceutical companies are doing, drugs are a profit maker for them, whether it helps or hurts the consumer. A giant that needs a slingshot to end their corruptive behavior.

My brother committed suicide while taking this drug and I'm convinced it was the drug that drove him to it.

I am currently reviewing reasons why my wife has suddenly become irrational, seeking attention from ex's and other men, spending money wildly, making bad decisions, being secretive.... the list goes on. But she was on 1mg Xanax three times a day, then the doctor wanted to change her to klonipin, but she has kept taking the Xanax, then she was put on Effexor and is currently at 150mg dose, along with the other meds. She is not the same and I swear if it isn't the medicine, then I'm getting a divorce. But her mother and I think it is. How do I tell her doctor and start fixing this? Todd

I had horrible, debilitating effects from Effexor as well as a traumatic (and well documented) time weaning off. I am still on disability and am unsure if I will ever be able to resume my normal life and career. I am Canadian, so not sure if you can help me.

My husband and children where badly effected by this as was i.There is no way i can explain here what i went through but what i can tell you is it caused the most upsetting experiences for me and my family that im not sure can be fixed

I have also taken celexa for a little over a year and over that time my personality is gone and nothing matters anymore i have never been so miserable and lost. I dont socialise ever or even bother with dating now just living a nothing existence.so i quit the meds i thought after awhile i might improve but it just made it much more worse.i do know it takes time to get past.withdrawal not my first ssri i have been suffering from even worse depression,emotional bluttimg,severe personality change.poor impulses,memory problems, intestinal problems-loose stool everyday for over a year,horrible fatigue,make constant bad choices,addicted to aderall i hate this drug but seems my ability to day no is diminished,lose balance,having difficulty spelling words,recalling certain words when talking,job loss on a previous med effixor.almost got fired for assult after stopping celexa .i been off the meds for over a year and nothing had got any beter im isolating more and more even from family and don't like being around other people this is not living its drowning.what ever Happened to do no harm .

I to have had my life taken away from being on celexa .knowing little about these meds except the generic explanation givin and puting complete trust in my doctor i took celexa for over a year biggest mistake of my life .

i was on prozac and then citalopram,the mood swings and bouts of anger were horrendous.i still now that i am off them,have bad panic attacks,and mood disorders that were not there before.i am 61 yrs old ty

Been on Celexa about 12 yrs now. I have gone thru counceling. They did a genesight DNA Screen test on me & I found out how sick I really am. You should NEVER JUST STOP taking your MEDS. You have to be weaned off and slowly so you don't go bonkers like I've been doing. I have several drs. I will post more info as time on. BLYNN

Been on benzodiazepines for 8 years all the symptoms of withdrawing

I was prescribed mirtazapine for reactionary depression to stress in leading to depression last June. I had horrific side effects which were anxiety agitation inability to sit still and also confusion and fear. I got in such as state over many months I was then put on chlorpromize and lorazapam two for what I was told was anxiety. I had a horrible time on them Both including the other drug too. Lorazapam severely messed me up and I was on it for 3 months and got severe fear panic anxiety and rebound aggression and terror. I ended up breaking up with my long term parter and baby as a result of these drugs changing my personality and behaviour as I became violent and horrible when I started to withdraw from activan. I got into trouble with the police and felt extremely suicidal on activan. I am now without my house family and I ironically seriously depressed about my once perfect life. These drugs need banning and the people who's lives they effect need compensating. Regards James
