Full Documentary - Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging
 

For those interested, a Documentary


"This video provides the facts about psychotropic drugs and the huge profits they create for the pharmaceutical industry. These drugs are not safe and have not been on the market long enough to provide sufficient long term studies regarding their effects. These drugs do cause addiction, however most "doctors" would call this dependence because you do not have to take an increasing dose over time. They are completely fine with you being addicted to the same amount of any given drug on a daily basis. Over half of the people that commit suicide in the United States are prescribed to psychotropic drugs. (Ex: Paxil (Paroxetine), Zoloft (Sertraline), Prozac, Wellbutrin (Bupropion), Effexor, Seroquil, Ultram (Tramadol), etc.)"

It's reasons like this that makes me stay away from any and all prescription meds.

haven't seen this one but this is one area I would agree with you on. The overuse and over prescription of these types of drugs sicken me. What bothers me most is there are instances in people where it would benefit them from taking certain forms of these medications.

In the end we have a choice whether to take these things or not though.

so if you got diagnosed with high blood pressure you wouldn't take a prescription? If i did that i'd be dead by now.

there are always exceptions.

Hanging out on GFY is a sure fire way to raise your blood pressure.

I wouldn't want to be on any of those drugs, they actually do seem to increase the odds of people committing suicide.

i wouldn't take it straight off. i'd try and make lifestyle changes and if that didn't work, then yeah but obviously not in the same category as the meds the video is talking about.
