WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU
ABOUT PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS Read the magazines and newspapers and you will get the message that the new generation of psychotropic drug are the greatest thing since sliced bread But what you don't read and what the psychiatrists generally avoid mentioning to their patients are the horrendous side effects that accompany these drugs that are so easily prescribed to men and women and hundreds of thousands of children Here is what medical literature describes as the common side effects of psychiatric drugs: Major Tranquilizers Drowsiness, blurred vision, dry mouth, sensitivity to sunlight agitation, restlessness, sexual dysfunction, eye damage, tardive dyskinesia (uncontrollable shaking of the extremities caused by irreversible damage to the nervous system], akathisia (inability to sit still, which can also cause drug induced psychosis). Minor Tranquilizers Drowsiness, apathy, irritability, failure of muscle coordination, fatigue, depression, indigestion, increased hostility, rage, decreased sexual drive, addiction. Antidepressants Palpitations, fatigue, drowsiness, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, suicidal behavior, hallucincitions, bizarre and aggressive behavior; overdose is toxic to heart and treatment is difficult. A particular group of antidepressants Monoamine, Oxidase Inhibtors (MAOI) can be fatal if taken with yeast extracts and can cause liver damage,confusion, tremors, halucinations, convulsions, skin rashes,agitation and insomnia. There's one more thing psychiatrists don't mention. Side effects of psychiatric drugs are a"mental illness!" These illnesses have name as well:" neuro-leptic induced Parkinsonism," and Neuro-leptic Malignant Syndrome." The treatment? More Drugs.
