Taken-As-Prescribed Support Services

Thank you for your support Paul and I am sorry to hear you, like so many, were given the worst advice possible. Let's hope we can educate and stop this happening. Beverley

Thank you for your comments. I too share your frustration and I can assure you there are no vested interests associated with this petition. I have personally worked unpaid for 8 years on this issue as a researcher and writer.

Very important! Have both a professional and personal interest, and am happy to support in any way I can.

Doctors and now Nurses! are taking payments from Pharmacy Companies to push prescription drugs. This Wicked practice leads to Pharma Drug Dependence and Early Death of the Patient. In plain sight.

Big pharma as death penalty, has to be abolished.

A drug culture has been created since the mid 50s & early 60s that started with thalidomide drugs, hormonal drugs / Valium even chlorine in the water which has been proven to cause many health issues , that pass down through dna, drugs cure all, yet got it so wrong, codein was the new prescribed , then opiates at the drop of a hat, I could go on, it’s breaking a culture that was started by a system , who deny appropriate information or support, what happened too dr knows best !! If you prescribe a drug , then should take onboard the impacts, long term can have, that is detrimental too health / wellbeing, they don’t even take yer family history risk assessment , they just here what they want pen in hand & out the door, you go Bk due to adverse effects, & many gaslight that is any links too the drug prescribed just hand another drug & off you go, they should practice the same ethos as the very first ever know dr , Hippocrates, given many around the globe are handed there medical degree under a shadow of is tree , let good be thy medicine & let medicine be thy food !! But that to easy, yet much evidence to support , but not being any revenue in this practice , then will never promote , so the things that are bad are readily available, & the things that are evidence good will continue to eat out the workman/ women’s pockets , as is no money or jobs in good health , but everything in poor health , 1 thing I can say all above keeps the population down , unless this drug culture ends , then the support for recovery will never be promoted , as that then is acknowledging they were , major players in all the suffering & neglect & that old chestnut we’re is blame !!! & is why no dr who values there career will ever commit to use the time in a appt to discuss support to recovery , they will sit and gaslight & protect there own suits !! But I do believe in strength in numbers k let’s face it nearly everyone has been affected by prescribed drugs , let’s just hope the all mi

Going through withdrawal at mo I am so angry there is no support

Mary, I am so sorry and thank you for your support. Beverley

Abolish forced medications regardless of what sections a person may be on. They prescribed my brother 22 different combinations of anti-psychotics, which clearly were not helping yet they still restrained my brother and forced injections and refused to to ween my brother off his medication which resulted in his death. Everyone should have the legal right to ween off medication regardless of what section they're on.

My son was prescribed 12 different antidepressants and antipsychotics between the age of 18-21 when he finally died of a self inflicted death.

A service like this is needed in Australia A slow taper and Open Dialogue should be implemented as soon as possible.

I agree completely Diane. Thank you for your support.

My friends life had been destroyed by this - and it should never have happened

Healhcare workers are needed who are suitably trained to provide support and guidence to patients when it is time for them to withdrawal from prescribed medication needed to avoid dependancy and toxic build up. A true understanding must be developed that responds to individualised needs.

I have been so damaged,by being advised by my GP, to go cold turkey off Prozac. I have never recovered and still suffer so much, after 12 years. There needs to be help and support and proper advice for people coming off prescription drugs. If I had help and proper advice, then my life wouldn't have been ruined like it has been. Because of my doctors arrogance, stupidity and incompetence to give me the proper advice.

Chair ridden for 7 years and may never get better,most horrible way to survive ,even lost my past as it took away my long term memory too.

Surely a support service to help those people,and families and friends, affected by addiction is vital

There needs to be support for people to come off prescribed medication and to understand the effects.

Thanks for signing Wendy and I am so sorry for your experience. Please share and encourage others to sign so we can stop this happening. Beverley

Something needs to be done, ppl are in so much pain, been harmed so much by a one a day pill from the Dr and then was left for dead because he has no clue about withdrawal or what happened to me in severe protracted withdrawal because he just stopped my meds, literally Dr have no clue I'm not kidding ere it's seriously damaging us!
