What is the difference between #akathisia and primary psychosis? What % of people with primary psychosis were taking psych medication? Is this the first question? Any studies other than 2018? What % of akathisia is diagnosed as psychosis?

celia No one forced me, but no one told me this could happen? My life was stolen and I was left tortured alive in chronic akathisia & tardive dystonia. Try going into an ER and say you were injured by the Prozac you stopped 4 yrs ago and you’ll understand the problem. #akathisia

Will drug regulators start effectively warning the public and prescribers about SSRI-induced #suicide? U.S. FDA warning is often discounted, and only covers ages 25 and under. #SSRIS can cause #akathisia and all should carry a suicide warning for all ages. MHRAgovuk

Watching RFK in the Senate hearing today brought me back to 2008, when I testified before this same Senate HELP Committee on FDA reform. Sitting alongside the FDA Commissioner and two former Commissioners, I urged them to prioritize people over profits. That hearing was

BBC Radio 4 Today Emma Barnett Of course. Antidepressants cause akathisia and akathisia causes suicide and homicide. I have lost 24 friends to chronic akathisia and other protracted medication injuries. There are over 500 akathisia causing drugs.

Andrew Zywiec, M.D. I’ve stay alive 5 yrs to bear witness to (chronic) akathisia. Antidepressants cause akathisia and akathisia causes suicide and homicide (and school shootings). The anxiety you feel might not be anxiety anymore. It might be neurological injury from the meds you used to “treat” it.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Caitlin Smith, another friend lost to the torture of medication-induced #akathisia. Hugs to her many friends in support groups who tried their best to keep her alive. While they and thousands of others who are suffering with

Fiona French, freedom is bliss Chloe Wilkins Teach the doctors this shit is happening and warn the f*ck out of patients (and their families) before they consider starting them. Someone tell me when the deaths of my 25 friends stops being anecdotal.

Exactly. "We’ve seen how many have retreated from the risk of interaction with an ill informed medical profession to suffer alone. One harmed person described this as being left in ‘a void’. Another the ‘existential shock’ of being poisoned and discarded as an inconvenience."

Jose E. Sánchez Tato 🏳️‍🌈 Have you ever tried stopping them for years? My friend Caitlyn took her own life 2 mths ago to escape the tardive akathisia she got after stopping Adderall. She began w/Ritalin as a child. Tardive misdiagnosed as depression, given Lexapro. Akathisia explodes. Dead in 5 months.

Akathisia is the perfect crime. It can leave no mark and have people blaming the victim’s mental health instead of the medication. They just didn’t count on a few of us surviving it and telling everyone.

Sharing stories of iatrogenic harm exposes a system shaped by profits, not patients. Ghost written journal articles, fraudulent clinical trials, paid doctors masquerading as key opinion leaders--all are responsible for increasing avoidable deaths. #PatientSafety #Pharma
