Psychiatrists are covering up their mess.
It's time for the industry to come clean.
Psych med Pharmaceutical industry needs to be investigated by ICC and ICJ
If there are there lawyers out looking for useful work... nothing could be more noble than taking the psych med industry to task
100% agree
I got castrated at 11 years old by big pharma. They handed me different SSRI:s like candy throughout my entire puberty up until 24 years of age when I understood that I was damaged. They took my life away. I have never experienced love and sex and pleasure. I'm in my 30s today and completely numb between my legs.
This is a crime!!!
🤬😡😢
Awful.❤
I'm so very sorry that happened to you. 💝
I am in a similar boat but I didn’t wake up until I turned 56. They had me believing for 38 years that I needed those drugs. The truth-those drugs were what was making me ill all those years. I’ve been off now for 18 months and I have never been more sane and yet more miserable. Drug and ECT brain damage isn’t for the weak.
I’m so sorry they did this to you too. 💜💔
@@Blu6556
That is just criminal! The damage that has been done is obviously irreparable, and you’re still sick after 18months off this poison? How we have been conned so badly, and yet no one is being held accountable for taking away our God given right to a normal life.
There are no words strong enough to describe what ‘they’ have done.
I wish you all the happiness you could possibly have, whilst you’re on this earth 🙏
@@christinemclatchie thank you for your empathy and compassion. It’s appreciated. Despite all the damage & suffering the drugs & ECT caused I am proud of what I’ve accomplished thus far and it ain’t over yet! Maybe not what this world calls accomplishments. No. I have zero wealth. No job. No kids. But I finally know who I am and I don’t ever let anyone else tell me who I am anymore either. I am proud of how I carry suffering. I make mistakes. I
Am certainly not perfect. But I keep going. I do give up sometimes-but not for long! I may be in pain. I’m angry as hell at the psychiatric situation I am in & that the world is in-but overall I’m happy with how I deal with this life. I’m OK!! (Even tho it’s NOT ok what they did to me!!)
You are saving lives, just by acknowledging this fact. Thank you Josef.
Thank you for believing in PSSD suffers, and spreading awareness about it. Ive been living with this hell for over 15 years. I wish I had been informed of it before starting
39 months sufferer here. What did u try for treatment till today?
@@Xxx-pq6up Sadly, I don't think there is much you can do. I heard the tissue itself gets damaged and atrophied. Sorry. What were you taking- for what reason and for how long?
15yrs. Holy shit. I'm so sorry. I'm 6mnths in and have all the sexual symptoms but also have all the other horrible neurological ones. No emotions, anhedonia, cognitive impairment, ect. I really don't know how to live like this. All I can think of is ending it. May I ask what med you took??
@@gemini-vibes6118 Sorry you are struggling. Try not to fall into a feedback loop though of being a victim. Say outloud- WHAT IF I AM FINE? Steer your brain to think you are fine. All things equal, it could at least HELP. I just read a great book called Mind Magic. You might like it. Also, I would look into KETO. I do it and it works well for me.
I’m more nervous about trying any psych drugs over fentanyl or heroin
You should be. Please don't do it to yourself. I'm talking from experience.
@@TalRachmanI’ve been an IV user of both for 7 years
You should be... it's worse inherently for your brain. Brain doesn't work-nothing works.
@@jarettmeyer4929and…
You should be. I was an iv meth and cathinone addict for YEARS. Never had any lasting issues. Came off citalopram and got full-blown pssd. Loss of sexuality, numb genitals, no emotions, anhedonia, cognitive impairment, blank mind syndrom, visual issues, and a whole host of other awful symptoms likely for life. I should have stuck with the meth. Much safer.
Never told me this was the case, nor any other side effects, and how unbelievable the withdrawal is. I'm now 66 and learning that the past 40+ years have been destroyed so much of my life. Currently tapering Effexor after winning the Devil Drug trap... Benzodiazapines..Thank you for your honesty and putting this Vital information out there for others in their prime. Sure won't learn it from mainstream psych Doctor. 😢
It is such an insult to call people who've suffered from TAKING THE MEDS to have an anti-med bias. WE have taken the drug - the doctors haven't (or haven't had salient negative effects most of the time).
Almost 3 years of PSSD with no signs of improvement. This really is hell.
- Apathy
- Emotional blunting
- no libido
- genital numbess
This is no way to live.
I had a cooky psych NP at a Boston nursing school who had her own cohort of psych patients and she said “Our patients report that sex drive doesn’t come back when they stop SSRIs despite what they are told.” This was back in 2010..
Terrible. Are you a nurse now?
@@UTAH100 sort of; I just work night shift at a nursing home taking care of skin issues
@@claireh.7605 Nice. At least you are helping people. Hopefully you don't take any drugs.
You tell 'em Dr. Josef
Please raise awareness on post accutane syndrome. Lets discuss how a chemotherapy drug is being prescribed for acne. So many people are suffering from long term damage after taking it.
Thank you, Dr. Josef.
Its all by design
The drug is doing exsctly what they wanted it to do.
Bingo
Exactly
Exactly.
Depopulate
That's my only conclusion
@@judybooth110
Antidepressants are basically chemical castration. It made someone i know completely impotent for the good.😮
Thanks for put the 🚨 on this! And please inform us how treatment for people injured with SSRI having pssd after goes nowadays, is there any in plain sight?
😂 PLAN? Here’s the plan-if they can make money off it they’ll plan on doing that! 😂
Eli lily makes drug that causes sexual dysfunction. Eli lily makes drug to treat sexual dysfunction.
How considerately coincidental. Also it's common sense these drugs could and do cause permanent side effects, it's wild anyone would gaslight you for using common sense
True. Also toxic encephalopathy can be caused by ssris anticonvulsants like benzos, and opiods. That would explain why people c9ming off benzos an ssris suffer so badly. Toxic encephalopathy is a nuero dysfunction Brain inflamation. It is drug induced. A physical cause. It's not just benzo withdrawal or ssri withdrawal. It is a physical dysfunction that can be detected by the proper test. Bid thee
An all the symptoms of toxic ecnecephapilipathy are identical to benzo withdrawal.
Why has noone ever mebtioned how benzos can causs toxic encaohalkpathy? I dont understand.
Because it’s not good for business
@@Blu6556 yeah I know but it seeks like Noone knows about this tho. They cause nueroinflanattiin. An it actuslly be detected in a spinal tap.
Thank you really. Your work is precious
If the medical community had invested more education for therapists and therapies for mental illness I think a lot of people could have avoided these damaging drug’s. Drug’s=money. These companies don’t care about helping us.
How about we address what causes mental suffering not just focus on the mess those causes cause??
@@Blu6556
These medications are the worst kind of band aid that could ever be used! So you’re right, there needs to be Drs who are prepared to get to the root cause of the mental illness.
IMO, 99% of all psychiatric illnesses come from some form of trauma; and that’s what I believe can alter our brain chemistry. A drug cannot fix that! Psych conditions are not a chemical imbalance in the brain either, as Dr Josef has done a video on that. We’ve been sold a lie.
As I am lowering my dose and coming off of Zoloft I seem to be returning to normal. Hopefully nothing persists.
When I was on lexapro, it very negatively effected everything sexual for me. One of the reasons I got off lexapro was because I believed I would stay single and a virgin for the rest if my life. That was how much it effected everything that had to do with sexuality.
How old were you went you went on the meds?
@@TheMelissaWasHere I was put on Prozac when I was 13. It stopped working after 1 year. Then I was put on Effexor and was on it for awhile. I stopped cold turkey at some point.
I was on and off meds during most of my teen years. At 17/18 I went on Paxil. I didn't like how it made me feel and got off it as quickly as I could. I was not the same after that. Horrible anxiety. Had a hard time falling asleep because my heart was beating so hard it was keeping me awake.
I ended up on Lexapro and was on that for about 12 years. I was very numb, had a lot of brain fog. I was stuck in limbo. Eventually got on Zoloft and my new doctor started me on 50MG, moved me up to 75MG. I have been adjusting for about a year and a half. I had really bad anxiety for awhile. I had a few times where I almost had a hypertensive crisis due to the anxiety attacks (woke up one night with a nosebleed).
So far, am feeling better with a lower dose of roughly 62.5mg. May still have years until I am fully off. This medication change, plus getting of off wheat (wheat/gluten was also giving me brain fog and headaches, I have an intolerance to it) has given me a much clearer head.
The interesting part is that I experienced the exact OPPOSITE effect when on Sertraline. At the time, I was a devout Mormon, unwed, so I couldn’t do ANYTHING (not even flicking the bean!) other than just sit and cry because my libido would dramatically increase if I accidentally took my medication too close to the previous dose.
Everybody who went on pills Had severe Problems even before this, how is one supposed to make a positive Change in His Life with this ?
Now a days pple don’t even have to have a serious problem to go on pills.
They hand them out for shyness for godsakes. Spend 15-20 minutes with a GP you barely know and he’ll prescribe you whatever anti you want.
They will call someone a pill shamer if they say, “I believe in your natural ability to figure out & overcome your pain and struggles” but I sure wish my doctor had said that to me.
@@Blu6556
That is so true! One of my friends had a stroke, and they sent him home from hospital with antidepressants… I had only just discovered Dr Josef, and was horrified at what I’d heard, so even before I had a plan to take care of my own meds problems, I took his Lexapro and told him he didn’t need them, and threw them in the rubbish bin… I cannot believe he was given them, when he has never had depression in his life! It’s really quite sinister what’s been going on.
I had the opposite reaction to ssris ... my heart goes out to all
don't doubt it for a second. its all about money and power. very sick and very evil
I really really really appreciate what you’re doing Doctor. So plz don’t get me wrong but…
You claiming to be an “expert” on drug side effects rubs me the wrong way.
No one could possibly be an expert on that. But if anyone is, it’s the patients who take them. Not the doctors who prescribe them. Not the doctors who DEprescribe them either.
If I were to describe you it would be-a really thoughtful, compassionate and ethical psychiatrist who has woken up to the cries of mental patients suffering & sees the harms they’ve experienced on psychotropic medication.
Blu6556
I really do understand what you’re saying, but in defence of Dr Josef, he has interviewed a vast amount of people who have suffered terribly from having taken, and tried to come off Benzo’s, antidepressants and a few other drugs… I have watched so many of them, and have seen that Dr Josef is gaining a lot of understanding on what’s happening to us…
He first realised there was a problem with psych meds whilst working as a Medical (?) Officer at the FDA… One could imagine he would be receiving a lot of back lash from the Psychiatric community for speaking out about these meds.
No one speaks out against big pha*ma without consequence, and he would know that… Fortunately there are a few Psychs who are on this path with him, and I had to find one. I’m in Australia and had to send an email to Dr Josef, to see if there was anyone here in Australia that could help with tapering. I found one in another state, so still need to hook up with him. This particular Psychiatrist had been on antidepressants himself, and after attempting to come off them, had become sui*idal… Of course lived experience is always better than anything else, but Dr Josef has looked right into the effects of these drugs, and is putting himself on the line for us.
There is another RUclips channel called ‘Medicating Normal’ which has interviews of Drs etc, and may be helpful to you. These people made a Doco movie by the same name, which I’m yet to watch.
I hope this was helpful for you 🙏
I can't urinate after taking a bunch of anti depressants and other prescription meds. it's cost me a lot because I can't do pee test. I got cut off 80mg methadone and 6mg clonazepam cold turkey because I could pee and the cotton swab was a false positive
So you bladder has exploded?
@simonwright6163 I just lost any feelings to pee. I have a social anxiety thing with it and also held my bladder a lot as a kid... a lot of contributions but I have to strain to go. I've had such a bad injury from coming off the benzos too quick so I wouldn't doubt if that contributed
@@jasonsenator6144 Jason, were you checked for pelvic floor problems? Kind of sounds like that could be part of the problem. Dr. Healy said that's common with PSSD.
@TheMelissaWasHere I tried physical therapy but they didn't know anything about that
@simonwright6163 I had to get catheter once and even though the doctors should have easily seen I was sent to er for my last drug test because I couldn't pee they still terminated. I was just stressed with a good radio job I had to be at and my little sister's wedding. I got my terminated letter the day I was going to her wedding! so I flipped out just like how could you guys and they said your getting marked as a drug seeker now and we're calling the cops. cops escorted nurses out even though I never threatening them at all. I just left a review saying the nurses were reading my Facebook instead of doing their job of taking me to see the doctor and would always give me a hard time when asked for refills.
I don't see what I did that was wrong but I haven't worked in 7 years. have basically no family friends or abilities to do anything because how severe the clonazepam withdrawal has been. and they won't let me reinstate because the redflagged me. I took My meds as prescribed and had nothing to hide in the drug test. it wasn't the first time because I'd always ask for blood test and they don't do those. ruined my life right in the middle of it.
I was wondering if Josef has thought of looking into the possible relationship with increase of Teens getting SSRIs and the exponential increase of Teens having Gender Identity Disorder/Dysmorphia.
It seems likely that children prepuberty taking SSRIs would be confused about their gender expression if they have little or no sexual feelings or drive.
I want my lawsuit money for my penile insensitivity, my lack of pubertal testosterone in general, etc.
It's permanent.
And not ssri, snri etc.
You should do a video on HIMs selling topical sertraline spray for premature ejaculation. Heinous
Is it legal?
HIM? What’s that?
ChristianMikula
OMGosh!
@@Blu6556
Whilst looking up something on Google, which had nothing to do with this, there were these products online (this was about half an hr ago) I saw the brand HIM… It’s online stuff, and probably not approved by the FDA.
The word "castration" has a sense of finality to it. It is not castration if the effect goes away after you stop taking the SSRI.
Depends how much damage is done.
It doesn’t go away for at least one of us-me. 30 years and counting dude.
sir anti-depressants might not be that bad. talk about more dangerous things like resperidone where there is no informed consent, not fda approved drug
