HE WAS PRESSURED TO TAKE SSRI DRUGS, AND THEY DAMAGED HIS BRAIN. HE HAD TEMPORARY PSYCHOSIS AND NOW HAS PERMANENT TARDIVE DYSKINESIA. HIS PSYCHOLOGIST GOT HIM THROWN INTO PRISON FOR TWO YEARS.
(ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED WITH THE WRONG AUDIO)
Ben is a brilliant computer engineer who once worked for Google. He trusted his doctors and believed in their competence. But he learned through hard experience that he had to learn about his problems on his own.
Most psychiatrists believe their drugs work and are non-toxic. You don’t have to be a Google engineer to understand that this is a pack of lies.
You have also heard recently that the most profitable drug in history—no, the most profitable product in history—is “safe and effective.” See my other podcasts for more about the Covid “vaccine.” HERE is a blog describing how the vax is worse than the disease.
Ben’s problems started when he was in his mid-20s and was stressed by an 80-plus-hour-a-week programming job. A psychologist pressured him to take medications. Ben didn’t like the idea, but after a lot of convincing, he caved and over several years took a series of different psychiatric drugs.
This entire experience was a calamity. Ben learned later that there was a genetic test that would have predicted that he was susceptible to terrible reactions to these medications. No one told him what was happening to him, so he read many of the same sources I used for my book Butchered by “Healthcare.” He learned, among many other things, that few psychiatric drugs have been studied properly using sugar-pill controls. He also learned from personal experience that they are addictive and that withdrawal from them is far more brutal than withdrawal from opioids. Pharma’s marketing claims that SSRIs are not addictive.
He ended up in prison due to a drug reaction that is fairly common. I will not spoil the story, so please listen. You will also hear about people who had far worse experiences than Ben. He also developed chronic, but fortunately mild, tardive dyskinesia. This is a form of drug-induced brain damage. According to the Big Pharma marketing, it’s rare with SSRIs.
If you want to listen to the chapter from my book describing these drugs, see this LINK. Butchered by “Healthcare” is available on Kindle for $3.00, and the references are linked. You will learn that Ben’s story is far from unique.
And yes, this is episode 101 of Surviving Healthcare!
Since this will be the next major issue, it is time it was addressed. Mental hospitals for the truly dangerous were abolished, people just turned on to society. Wars bring their own mental issues we term PTSD, still not understood except by those who go through it. Then you have health issues where people see no other way out. Two years of locked down isolation only made it worse. Childrenprobably had it worse as they are social creatures who need friends, relatives, activity. We know it affected their speach, especially the hearing impaired. Not allowed to worship as we pleased. Peer groups work fairly well, as you hear of others strugles, this goes for Alocholics, health issues, Grief, they let you channel your feelings. The one thng I learned was drugs didn’t help, they were a vicious cycle of downers/uppers to get through the day. A ‘shrink’ made it worse as they only ‘studied’ the subject and know what’s in their books. You need to know what drives the issue. Was it society’s negativity, alcohol or pill addiction, your children’s neglect as you age, Isolation, no hope, Grief from the loss of a Loved One, or grief as health fails your once robust body. Or is it the medications you take, many have Suicide as a side effect, how do I know, TV ads tell you that very fast as if it is distasteful for the speaker to have to mention it.
We learned Namoi Judd committed Suicide because she was depressed. She had fame, fortune, everything she could have wanted. What is missed is the life styles of her daughters, could that play a role? We will never know, people get very good at hiding their feelings. I knew a 25 yr old young man, he had built a calm life with the girl he adored, had a good job. His father was an alcholic, his step mom too. A disjointed pair. Not one had a strong foundation of Hope. He gave no indications of needing more in his life, yet one day, he loaded a shotgun and took his life. Leaving behind Grief, belwilderment.
How do you overcome Grief, that depends on the stage, your personal belief system. For me it was clinging to the promise of God, and Jesus and a belief in a Heaven. I didn’t just lose one Beloved, my grandparents, dad health issues, we mentally expect them to go before we do. We are never prepared for the death of a child, in my case two of my children, a 33 day old little boy to a illness he was born with, one I never held till the day he died. Then my 16 yr old son who was mentally and physically 12 years old, who was brutally beat to death by a Sociopath for jollies; that brings a different Grief as Anger is an added issue, which grows worse dealing with a creeping, UNJUST JUSTICE SYSTEM. Mom died of cancer, just like my dad did. Then the loss of a husband of 33 years of a peaceful, enjoyable life, to a sudden heart attack. God saw my need, and sent a wonderful man to fill it 5 years later.
I wept, I begged God to to give them back. I still cry at times. Pull into myself, But then what I was taught, that there is a Life in Paradise, with No sickness, No sorrow kicks in. I suck up the tears, the blue feelings and get lost in a book, a project, or helping others. As I age, health fails, my two living sons to busy to visit or even pick up the phone and ask are you okay mom? They just live 15 minutes away. I was denied having my grandson in my life, as his mom deals with her own drug habit, my grandaughter is only 4 she doesn’t know who I am, I can’t hear well, my youngest son forgets I exist. My eldest works too many hours. Am I mentally ill, NO, do I need pills, NO. I need a friend to talk to, not a shrink pushing pills that makes it worse.
A like minded FRIEND, being busy, knowing I have a Hope, even if not on this earth. We let those who don’t want to believe force that Hope GOD, JESUS, out of all aspects of our lives, except church, or house of worship, even that has changed, not for the better, there is no room for the seniors, just the youth. Because others couldn’t or didn’t want to believe. Well your non belief offends me, hurts me. I’ll go to my own resting place still believing in the Hand that reached out at 14 and said ‘Welcome Home, Daughter’. I’ll go with a shout of joy, peace. No pain, no worry, no sorrow. And fall at the feet of my Savior, Jesus Christ in adoration, the Hope, joy, peace I accepted at 14.
Robert, might not have expected my words, as we only know each other via email, and we don’t get into that aspect of each others lives. But I have him to thank for educating me in how to avoid the pitfalls of bad medical advice. STAY AWAY FROM SHRINKS, and pills, they cause more harm than good. Find some good friends, or a Hope, belief system that works for you.
Your integrity and transparency shines like a beacon in a contemporary American medical realm which is more broadly characterized by stunning arrogance/egotism married to sniveling submission to Big Pharma and the administrators of concentrated corporate allopathic healthcare delivery systems. Magnifying that has been the Scamdemic Era and the widespread mass murder of hospitalized patients ,. I no longer consider most MDs to be professionals. A professional exercises independent judgement. Most MDs today are merely highly educated and highly compensated drug-pushing, protocol-following drones (with stupendous condescension towards their patients and dissident physicians.) NOT a pretty look.
