Uterine Roulette and Consent

December 12, 2023 9 Comments

This post continues with the Lonesome Heroines theme - Consent. It needs reading in conjunction with Peter Selley's Coming Clean on Neonatal Deaths. The fact these posts deal with vaccines is semi-irrelevant - they are about a development model, a playbook, set up with SSRIs that industry now apply across all products. Our Bodies, Ourselves, a book by the Boston Women's … [Read more...] about Uterine Roulette and Consent

Empathy for Drug Induced Injuries

November 1, 2023 20 Comments

Dr. Healy, I am writing to you after receiving distressing messages from my son, who asked for help with regards to names of specialists or supports to help him with his extreme PSSD condition. This may seem like helicopter parenting, but I feel compelled to write in regards to the devastating impact your message had on him. He is in utter despair over what has happened. … [Read more...] about Empathy for Drug Induced Injuries

Treatment Complications: Good Expert Needed

October 12, 2023 21 Comments

I recently had a request for input on akathisia and withdrawal related issues that for some reason charmed me into responding. The back and forth however began to sink into a quicksand that can put me off responding. There is an old aphorism about experts – a true expert is s/he who knows how little s/he knows. Sounds cute but it’s not what anyone who consults someone they … [Read more...] about Treatment Complications: Good Expert Needed

Withdrawal, PSSD and Cholinergic Drugs

September 25, 2023 75 Comments

Health Warning I don’t know a great deal about the issues in this post. Experts by Experience and The Marketing of Anticholinergic Maleficence along with Psychotropic Drug Follies will give some feel for the background that makes it difficult to be certain about anything linked to the cholinergic drugs.  The Past Present and Future article will need to be downloaded to take to … [Read more...] about Withdrawal, PSSD and Cholinergic Drugs

How the Safety of Drugs was Destroyed

August 22, 2023 14 Comments

Emer Cooke, the CEO of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is Irish. This is Dublin's famous Halfpenny Bridge which for some reason features in an article outlining the history of the phrase Tail wags Dog which seems appropriate for what followed. I wrote to Emer recently about a bizarre letter I received from Kinapse - A Brush with EMA - who run EMA's medical literature … [Read more...] about How the Safety of Drugs was Destroyed

PPPD – Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness

July 17, 2023 71 Comments

This post is from R, whom I came into contact with at least a decade ago. She had significant SSRI dependence and withdrawal issues. And was very discombobulated by the difficulties she was having. Back in 1997 after a difficult and stressful house move I went to see my Family Doctor because I was getting a lot of headaches and panic attacks in crowded places. She said I was … [Read more...] about PPPD – Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness

Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate and Akathisia

May 26, 2023 15 Comments

This post came from a regular contributor to RxISK and DH posts. An earlier comment pointed to something interesting and has developed into this post which should be of interest to anyone who has a withdrawal problem that entails some kind of akathisia. When I came out of a psychiatric hospital in Summer 2019, I had been on zopiclone for a good 6 months. For most of that … [Read more...] about Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate and Akathisia

Withdrawal Mysteries. Jon and Justin’s Journeys

May 15, 2023 21 Comments

Being Hooked to and having to Withdraw from Antidepressants, especially any that act on the serotonin system, is one of the greatest public health issues of our day.  Close to 15 per cent of the population of most Western countries are affected. Peter Groot and colleagues in the Netherlands have done more than anyone to raise the profile of these issues by providing a method … [Read more...] about Withdrawal Mysteries.

Sexual Mysteries. What is in a Touch?

May 7, 2023 3 Comments

This is an important post for anyone hunting for a test for PSSD. If the CT fibres mentioned here are not fibres that show up distinctly on either skin biopsy or CCM, then these tests may not pick up a very real problem. We need some research on whether CT fibres show around the ankle or in the cornea. The slide above is from a fascinating lecture on Affective Touch by Francis … [Read more...] about Sexual Mysteries.
