There is a lot of talk about the nasty effects of a lot of these psych medication by both people using and people trying to get off of them. I have had the good fortune to have never been put on any of these drugs, but the misfortune to have had a mother who was fully  entrenched in these drugs when she went to physicians for help with anxiety that came out of a physical GI problem, Esophageal Achalisia. I have seen and lived with some one going through all the hell the many writters speak of. I am totally shocked that legally there is nothing being done to stop this whole cycle of hell. What I have seen and read about is not healthcare, but something that rivals the actions in the German Daeth Camps. I have written naively thinking that perhaps a law firm with resources would be interested. I have been told repeatedly that there is no interest. People who have been unwittingly placed on these horrid drugs loose creditability and value it would seem. If they don't die of an acceptable diagnosis, kill someone, loose a body part and are under 65 years old then tough luck. This is crazy! The facts are that people are suffering, being confined  and dying becuase of these drugs. I was told  that my Mom symptoms were age related by her mental health provider the same doctor who put her on Prozac when she was already taking Anafranil.  Her medical doctors didn't have a problem with that either and were happy enough to be running up medical bills to treat her problems, but no one ever mentioned Serotonin Syndrome. My Mother had a horrible year last year which mean, so did my family and I. The dotors highly recommened commitment/ forced nursing home. I have alwayd known that something was amiss, so I had nothing to lose and I threatened them with failure to diagnose and treat, since she had been in and out of the hospital 4 times and she was getting worse. I forced them to get her off Prozac, but they thought they would neatly repalce it with Seroquel. Lucky for her she vomited more of it than she kept in and refused to take it when she came home, which turned out to be lucky for her. She is better, but very angry at what has been done to her. I am a little more than upset not because a doctor made a mistake, but because they knew exactly what they were doing and did it in the name of healthcare.  There needs to be a forum to get the word out there about Serotonin Syndrome. It is a real thing, but most oftens kills people. It comes from prescribing too many SSRI and that is what is happening to people in record numbers in this country. I am calling for anyone who has taken any psych drugs to read up and e-mail me. I am considering writing the Robert Wood Foundation for a grant  to get proof, so to present it to our government. If our doctos have abandoned us, our lawyers only pursue what is easy maybe we need to get enough attention to get ourselves a class action suit against those who would harm people with  too much SSRI's
