(HotzeHWC.com) We would all agree that life is a precious gift! Having said this, we can never have enough reminders that antidepressant prescription drugs can rob you or a loved one of that life. NaturalNews.com reported on the teenage girl in Missouri who had received an increased dosage of Prozac in 2009, just two weeks before she brutally murdered a nine year old girl for “the thrill of it.” A psychiatrist said that she was significantly influenced by the medication to commit this horrible act. She was sentenced to life in prison. This is just one of many tragic stories where antidepressants have been involved. Antidepressants are dangerous because they can cause homicidal and suicidal behavior, as well as many other adverse side effects, including the following:
Acting on dangerous impulses
Acting aggressive or violent
New or worsening depression, anxiety or panic attacks
Feeling agitated, restless, angry or irritable
Difficulty sleeping
Coordination problems or muscle twitching
Racing heartbeat, high or low blood pressure
Sweating or fever
Seizures or convulsions
Manic episodes
It’s true. A psychiatrist once put me on Norpramine, then Desipramine and those antidepressants led to my taking an overdose of Dilantin which nearly killed me. After leaving the hospital, I got off of all drugs and have been drug free without further incident since 1990. If you need help with issues of depression, go to a psychologist rather than to a psychiatrist. Psychologists most often use behavioral techniques in counselling while psychiatrists always prescribe several drugs per patient visit. You are far better off without the drugs!
