what do psychiatric medications do to your brain and metabolism?

Показать описание
Psychiatric medications can be helpful or harmful. They are widely prescribed for adults and children alike. They can be useful in acute crisis and short term stabilization period, however they cause many unwanted and harmful effects long term.

As a Psych RN, one of my responsibilities was to administer and monitor psychiatric medications. I noticed an interesting pattern right away. Some people responded okay to psychiatric medications, others were greatly harmed by them. Overtime I realized that long term psychiatric medication use was more harmful than helpful.

In my own journey, I experienced a variety of harmful effects - weight gain, brain fog, memory issues, dependency, fatigue, anxiety, depression, bipolar type illness, and suicidal ideation. It made me question, do psychiatric medications cause a "chemical imbalance" in some people just like birth control pills?

I was on no meds
Became extremely stressed as a nurse during lockdown/pandemic .
Accepted a med
One year later I was polydrugged with multiple diagnoses and completely non functional
4 years later still the same
Told psychiatry where to go
They destroyed my brain and life
Fighting to stay alive. Alone, lost my family and friends and my mind
Akathisia
The trauma alone is enough to take me out.
A waste of a life
There’s no denying correlation and causation in this case.
But it’s an extremely dysregulated me against.. no one
Meds caused mental illness and hands were washed clear of any accountability.
It’s criminal
And here I am with nowhere to vent but the internet.

Thank yoiu for speaking out. I am damaged by the meds, and no psychiatrist listens to me as I've also been diagnosed with bipolar (seems like the ssri use triggered it). It just means so much that somewhere in this world there is somebody who believes this really is happening to patients. Someday maybe the damages will be regonized and studied.

Agree with everything you say. Learned the hard way. Stock on it. I was normal. Got long term side effects and iatrogenic injury. No help, even though I was tapered by doctors.

Let's just stop calling it healthcare if it's not actual healthcare

Justice must be given to people like us who have been immensely harmed by the psychiatric establishment and its mind-altering drugs. Worse is that these doctors (who treat their patients like animals) and drug companies are protected by law and the police (many of whom have a narcissistic disposition and enjoy the power and privilege they have), and society has been misled into thinking psychiatry saves lives. It is disgusting and full of despair. God please help us.

Thanks! I was tapered off too fast by Dr. Sertraline 14 years, prescribed by GP. Almost c/t. Neurological dysfunction. Brain damage. Can I heal? Lost my life. Almost a year off.

As a young adult tapering off meds from hell, i feel seen and heard. Thank you!

Is there hope for healing from meds in your experience?

Diet is deserving of attention, but so is sleep. Especially since sleep medicine is so bad (all over the world) and so many people suffer from the (cognitive) consequences of OSA and UARS.
