I want to thank Denise so much for generously sharing her heartbreaking experience for the podcast and in her book. The importance of her message CANNOT be overstated. I also believe coroners need to be trained to look for iatrogenic causes of suicide, as so many will have died with mental illness being named as the cause, when prescribed drugs are causing extreme states of distress like akathisia, which can lead to suicide. Thank you Denise, Studio C and Missdfoundation for raising awareness of this vital information.

Thank you so much to Denise and to MISSD for sharing this information. As it has been said in other comments, this needs to be be widely publicised. I myself was on Citalopram for only 8 days and then stopped them, against the advice of my GP, who I had told how bad I was feeling. I was extremely agitated and terrified within a day of starting these tablets. I really believe that if I had stayed on them, the same could have happened to me. I had been prescribed them because I was feeling down, but not excessively so, after my treatment for Breast cancer had finished. Also, I had read that Citalopram helped for hot flushes (which had started because of induced menopause from chemotherapy) so thought them worth trying. They certainly got rid of the flushes, but turned me into somebody I didn't recognise. I am so lucky that I decided to stop them after 8 days, although it took me months to get back to normal after this experience. Never, never will I ever take another antidepressant.

Why does the suicide drug prescribe to the public and approved by FDA. The suicide side effect is very common and disabling even after the side effect is gone. It was never a solution in the first place and the people who approve it should take it themselves to experience the side effects.

I find it funny on your website u say to alert the drs to what’s going on if u have this. I have yet to find in 2 years one dr who cares. And what do they do? Offer me antipsychotics. I had to diagnose myself. I guess I can take heart in the fact my dr said he sure did hope I don’t kill myself. Thanks doc. I see u don’t even keep your KZread channel up to date anymore. Did you realize what a fruitless effort it is?

How do i recover from this. i’m almost 5 yrs off and still homebound and debilitated. The pacing isn’t as ferocious and started slowing about 8 mths ago but internally my body is still going crazy. And full of fear and sheer terror. i’m running out of stamina to endure. please help.

@snafu3590 I understand you're upset. I was too. I had aka and dozens of debilitating symptoms from stopping benzos. I even attempted un aliving and blamed God for allowing me to do so and not being there when I needed him the most. I totally get it. Well, needless to say that attempt left me extremely disabled. God did tell me I'll completely recover and it will take a while until then. In the mean time I felt His tangible peace like a blanket resting on me, i felt his tangible love like an explosion of liquid living light of love flood my body. I even had a vision of myself and family in heaven filled with joy and laughter. The reason I saw all this is, sometimes God heals slowly, sometimes he doesn't and sometimes it's instant. I don't know why this is but I can assure you he does care. He cares about you. I can't day I understand everything and why we suffer so darn badly but I do know he cares. Hope this helps

@@snafu22there’s always one “God person” in the bunch huh? They’re the same people who grab me and offer to pray for me but never offer to carry my groceries when they see me struggle or offer to house a homeless person. God has never once done anything but pick me up only to drop me further to the ground.

@akalucinda I’d love for you to be on an episode
