The fact that it was more thorough and provided more info than most doctors should be the topic.
This is pretty much, exactly what you get when you see a psychiatrist in person, so if they take your insurance, at least you don't have to waste time and gas.
well, this aint much at all indeed.. 5mg s-citalopram isnt anything to brag about.
That honestly was not much less engaging than the experience of being prescribed these medications for 30 years in the UK. If anything, getting these medications through scammers online, was less traumatic and dangerous than dealing with arrogant, ill informed Drs and their militant staff. Thank you Dr Josef for turning the tide. I wonder if a case for polypharmacy could be made if you filled the questionnaire out several times, changing the answers.
Agreed. It's reckless either way and incredibly unhelpful.
Agreed. When I was prescribed Lexapro I first filled out a questionnaire and the doctor talked to me for 5 minutes. She said nothing about side effects. I got that from reading the insert. I’m lucky I was able to taper off it over a few months without serious issues. I did get a spike in anxiety but I was able to work thru it on my own with time. I didn’t talk to my doctor about it for fear she’d want me back on the meds.
These instructions and warnings right off the info all pharmacy providers give.
Doctor Josef thank you SO much for what you are doing
This was a great video. I look forward to seeing more material that exposes this dangerous practice.
I can see how something like this could be useful for a person previously prescribed the medication, history shows it, and possibly stopped it and would like to give it another go. But it seems extremely reckless for patients new to the drugs. And yeah, there was no substance to the questions. I figured at least a short, direct video call would be needed. Thanks for showing us the process because I'm sure many of us were curious!
I wonder if they get a cut from manufacturer for recommending their drug instead of another one. Almost as if big pharma wants to get as many people started on these as possible because they know people will take them for months and years. I don’t see how this app could be worth it for them for just $150.
@@claireh.7605 Lexapro is such a common drug and it's available in generic. I'd say they don't get kickbacks for prescribing these drugs.
I think it's more of a thing for people who may be timid about going to the doctor or for people who don't have insurance.
I have insurance and can get these drugs for 0 dollars...they get their money from jacking up the prices, not from kickbacks.
@@claireh.7605 but it's a good thought and question! I just see a jacked up price for what anyone else would get for free from a Doctor/PA with insurance.
I think their real money makers are the penis poppers and hair drugs. Men don't want to go to the doctor because those are embarrassing things to talk about. So they just get them online and pay out the ass to not talk about their issues in person.
And, in case anyone is thinking of going on Lexapro for anxiety...please don't. The alteration it does to your psyche is not worth the almost nothingness it does for anxiety. If you have anxiety, talk to your doctor/PA and figure something out that helps you. Don't be scared to talk to your doctor about what you've researched online. I do it with my PA and she literally searches online in the room with me and we go through the side effects and benefits, together.
I have insomnia. Of course she recommended SSRI's. I said no, let's look at some other drugs, together, and we found a great path of treatment that doesn't involve destroying my personality with SSRI's. 😊
You all can do it, too!
Wait.... It went from Hims to Hers app?
WOW!
I can't help but wonder how many of these recent mass shooters got themselves started on this stuff and then abruptly stopped?
Doctors don’t discuss the risks of medication either. I had a doctor prescribe medication that should never be taken together.
Exactly. I got a copy of some parts of my GP file and the number of letters to the GP from secondary services that said they'd explained this or that - and the Dr said nothing - is hilarious.
Insane, to get ADDH
Amazing AI ...
Was thinking the same thing and l doubted that he’s a real doctor from the beginning, plus the whole story about working for FDA a saving people, not very realistic IMO.
I don’t know that it’s AI, but something about this channel is very off
@@alden2205 yes! Screams fake, felt it the moment l saw it but one thing is for sure that these meds are over prescribed and can cause a lot of damage to some people.
@@ellaMel4632 how? Once off them, any side effects go away
@@Vectorman2X come on, that's not science. And yes I do know, both from experience and in my work . There is no earthly mechanism that would make a medication side effect continue after that medicine is fully out of your system.
Constantly advertising at every opportunity. AI is not our friend ……no one hardly thinks for their self and instant fast food type medicine.
Im a bigger advocate for telehealth s-ketamine than telehealth ssri's
At least the ketamine has a long history of use and doesnt cause suicidal ideation like antipsychotics. Worst case scenario someone uses a little too much and they go take a nap in the k-hole
Ngl,.... waaaaaay more info and questions than i got when I was prescribed a GRIP of heavy psych drugs (much less the relative plethora of negative side effects in that informed consent). I heard, from so many doctors all my life, "you have a chemical imbalance and your brain doesn't produce enough seratonin,,.. blah blah blah... you wouldn't judge a diabetic person for needing insulin and like a diabetic, you'll need these meds for the rest of your life... if this medication doesn't work, we'll just try a different one...just"
👍 this comment if you got THAT in-person script 😂😂😂 i got you beat, Dr. Josef... I didn't even have to wait an hour.
Very frustrating that most doctors are totally unaware of the side effects of SSRI. Lexapro can seriously affect a person’s sexuality. Inability to achieve orgasm no matter how hard and how long one tries.
Oh, I'm sure they're aware. They just don't care because it's not them taking the stuff
What is lexapro?
Pills are made in China.
Crazy that for ADHD medication you have to do an in person monthly check in. For SSRIs you can order from home and screw up your entire life in private. Messed up.
Aside from all of the obviously horrifying aspects of this, one thing that stood out to me was the hims branding on the prescription bottle. It's almost like they're trying to turn taking a serious psychotropic drug into something sexy or cool, as if it's some benign supplement.
He takes THIS and, she takes THAT. Marketed like a perfume! A daily thing. And the weight loss hormone disrupting med is marketed as the same thing as as counting calories and eating more fiber.
Like a VITAMIN or a PERFUME. They are also making hormone disrupting weight loss drugs appear to be part of a sexy “self care” lifestyle.
What is most disturbing about this is handing out serious diagnosis and medication in absence of adequate assessment. (Then again the conventional system is no different in that respect!) It's also assuming that lay people will read and fully appreciate what they're consenting to, which is insane.
No consideration given to who or what state people are when they decided to order this life altering medication online in 10 minutes!!!. Any 16 year old can order themselves an antidepressant that has the potential to cause of permanent sexual side effects as well as suicidal ideation. Not to mention their recommendation to taper in 2-4 weeks.
Absolutely reckless! How is this legal?
A 16 year old getting and taking online antidepressants is definitely depressed, also very self motivated. They need a good doctor and therapist and antidepressants
It's legal because our pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is for-profit and in the hands of companies, and unlike things like Adderall antidepressants aren't controlled substances (they don't have much abuse potential)
@@Jesse78 that's true
Here's the thing. Something shouldn't be disallowed because people under 18 can get it. That's a parent issue. So my question is, would you actually remove the right for an adult to choose for themselves to buy medicine, that's not controlled, online. Besides, it's foreign countries, so we can't stop that anyway. People need to stop minding other people's business
@@michah321 I worked in Children's ER for 6 years and met many 16 year old's that were well read online on DSM diagnosis and convinced their parents and prescriber to get certain meds. How do you discern those?
This shit ought to be illegal.
Why??? First of all, it's happening overseas, so there's no one to punish. But really?? You want to use our criminal justice system to stop adults from buying non controlled medication online. Why is it even your business? It's NOT. And before you say " but the children!" Let me remind you it's a parent's job to monitor kids online and how does a 16 year old get a credit card or bank account to buy that anyway?
@@michah321 who said anything about children? Wtf are you on about? Yeah it should be illegal to sell severely brain altering, highly addictive chemicals that require a prescription online via a chat gpt “doctor”. Especially since SSRIs have such negative side effects that can ruin people’s lives.
This Lexapro destroyed my life
May i ask why ?
@@michelejohnston4029 PSSD and lobotomized no interest nothing anhedonia
The potential to destroy life is the risk we take with many other psychiatric medications as well. I almost died on Lamictal. It's akin to playing Russian Roulette! I'm sorry for your losses.
❤❤❤❤❤❤It's very amazing how every drug works differently with every person. I have severe treatment resistant depression and Lexapro was the only thing that brought me out of having suicidal ideations all day long. So I'm very sorry to hear and it's odd when I hear somebody say that LEXAPRO almost took their life I mean that must have been horrible for you but for me it was a miracle and I'm not kidding a miracle. I hope you're doing much better now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤@@michelejohnston4029Hi there. Please read my reply to the person that said LEXAPRO almost took their life. In case you can't find it let me just tell you this. I have severe severe treatment resistant Depression. I tried, I would say at least 15 to 20 different types of antidepressants The only thing that worked was Lexapro. It for me was a MIRACLE a literal miracle because I was having suicidal ideation all day long all the time and I was in the darkest pit of hell ever. So for me it's the opposite. LEXAPRO for me has done things I never thought it could do. So I just wanted to give you another perspective. it's always good to not listen to one person. I also have COMPLEX PTSD which is pretty crippling on some levels unfortunately no medication has helped that, and I don't expect medicine to do everything at all. Please take care I hope this helps you in some way. have a good day.
If possible steer clear of SSRI s
This is very, very dangerous and disturbing.
Why?
I am curious how much info re medication for depression could one get during a 15 min visit with the family doctor or NP.
Often the visits are for dg and prescription.
The online questionnaire asked more questions than a doctor.
So emojis replace a patient describing issues… don’t let people actually get in touch with themselves- reduce it all down to an icon
I've done online prescriptions but not for Lexapro. They involved answering questions and then a video chat with a doctor and then they sent me a script or the medication. It wasn't much different than if I had see the doctor in person. I'm actually still subscribed to one right now. Saving me money.
No, certainly I won't do that If this service was elegible in my country. My psychiatrists' experience is and always has bern crucial for me to even think of trying out a medication.
Did you actually see the signature of someone licensed to prescribe this?
Fosters is Australian for Beer.
