Do you feel like you were adequately informed of the side effects and potential long term issues from psychiatric drugs?

If you think psychiatry should be doing a better job at providing informed consent, updating their tapering guidelines, stimulate needed research in long term use, study PAWS and much more.

Please sign this petition.

IMPORTANT ACTION REQUIRED

Hello everyone,

*THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER PETITION*

The amazing Kim Witzciak recently launched a website serving as a petition for those with PSSD (and other SSRI injuries) to sign and document their experiences of harm with these medications.

It serves as a central place to show the volume of people being injured by these drugs. To convince those in power that these injuries are devastating a massive population size, deferring to Reddit groups won’t cut it/isn’t official enough. As such, this petition will be the MAIN SOURCE of reference when used to show the people we need to convince this is ruining/ending lives.

Please sign this, mention your experience and age if you can!!

We have SUCH power in numbers if we can all band together!

Eye floaters?

Hi. My mom has been on 30mg Duloxetine for around 3 months, she wanted to come off and her doctor adviced her to half the dose to 15mg. (I told her to go much slower, but she would not listen.)She has been om 15mg for 2-3 weeks.

Suddenly the other day she begins having black eyefloaters, they went away again but her eyes have been hurting and are now extremely lighsensitive.

Her doctor is getting her an optometrist oppointment asap. She is in her 60’s so it very well could be an age-related problem. But I know vision issues are very common in wd and just wanted to ask if anyone has had similar symptoms?

What do you think? Will IFL help?

Hi.

So this is my brainmapping. I am thinking it does not look good.

I was medicated in 2024 with an antidepressant, and during that treatment period and immediately upon discontinuation everything inside me changed. It was like my nervous system got so shocked it shut down. I have been suffering alot ever since, and do not function in almost any regard what so ever.

I asked Gemini to analyze my results, and it pretty much validated my entire lived experience.

I am receiving IFL treatment. Not sure I'd actually be able to do any active practice due to the severity of my condition.

Any thoughts? Help or input is very welcome. I don't really know what I am looking at. :-)

First one is open eyes, the last two are with closed.

"The New York Times is now reporting what Outro has been saying for years: the psychiatric system never built an off-ramp for safely deprescribing antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs.

Prominent psychiatrists in the United States are just now developing formal guidance for helping patients come off antidepressants, noting that providers have long "parked" patients on medications that are no longer necessary or effective. Meanwhile, 1 in 6 U.S. adults currently takes an SSRI, most outpatient practices lack the time or structure to support safe discontinuation, and patients left without answers have had to turn to social media for guidance.

This is the gap Outro was built to fill. Dr. Mark Horowitz, Outro's co-founder and co-author of the Maudsley Deprescribing Guidelines, called the new recommendations a reluctant admission that psychiatric medications have been prescribed for decades without adequate pathways off them.

Safe deprescribing is not a new idea. It is just one that the system has been slow to take seriously. Outro has been doing this work all along.
