FDA.ORG .. how about that? Do you know what a FDA "Black Box Warning" looks like and means? Ask me, or google it or visit Drugs.com and see side effects, interactions, at a glance. ~Mic Drop

I had to taper off that stuff to the point where I was on the lowest dose and having to open the capsules to take a little bit to keep from getting headshocks. I think satan himself made that stuff. I'll never take antidepressants again because of Cymbalta.

I was also in high school. I was just seeing her to get adderall and she put me on an antidepressant because I told her my boyfriend dumped me and I was sad.

I didn't then but I do now. I've got an untouched prescription for Prozac in my medicine cabinet right now. Thanks to Cymbalta I'm not touching it.

having known people that tried to "safely" get off antidepressants i feel i should speak up. i think they would speak up too but THEY'RE DEAD. your opinion of antidepressants isn't an issue. giving LIFE THREATENING DANGEROUS MEDICAL ADVICE is an issue.

i have tried to keep your privacy but i do have some questions doctor.. wait YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR at least not of medicine.

How can you "RESPECT THE TAPER" when you DON'T AGREE ON WHAT THE TAPER IS?

Is it a 10% MAX CHANGE OR 5% MAX CHANGE?

Is it a 0.5% reduction OR 1% reduction? OR 2%?

once again you can be against antidepressants and i don't have a problem but
YOUR "MEDICAL ADVICE" IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY AGAIN

YOU WILL BE THE REASON FOR A PERSON'S DEATH. let that sink in before you post more poorly thought out medical advice. if you think that is too harsh read my other comment again

Start at 2% (1 bead) reduction) see instructions. https://www.facebook.com/CymbaltaDangersInternational/photos/a.528698413897345.1073741827.527725173994669/884447274989122/?type=3&theater

Ann Blake-Tracy is one of the leading experts on Rx antidepressant facts and helped the FDA force the drug companies to include the FDA BLACK Box Warning on all rx Antidepressants. Experts and Drs agree that awareness and slow taper saves lives.

The reduction rules are now even slower than 10% max and the community is urging every to remember the new 5% max reduction rule. It can take up to 4 years to taper off the drug, but some are able to tolerate faster. We do NOT recommend starting with more than 5% reduction and advise starting at a 2% reduction.

I"m visually impaired and have 220 side effects 3.5 years after no longer taking cymbalta/poison. I support experts like Dr Breggin, and Ann Blake/Tracy and those that are onboard with the warnings on the label and FDA.gov. We use Drugs.com and invite you to try it to look up the warnings and side effects, it's easy to remember. It sounds like you have experience and we invite you to message the Cymbalta Dangers International page to volunteer, and help survivors and those still fighting for their lives and (grieving those lost - I"m sorry for your loss. I too have lost loved ones to antidepressants)

I help managed support groups for those that need help, info, and facts, and I consider myself a survivor and beacon in the darkness.

Revoked degrees

"We are especially concerned that any alumnus would use a credential to misrepresent themselves as an having expertise for which they are not properly qualified. The potential risk for causing public harm is real and justifies a public response."

"The first of these degrees was awarded to a book author by the name of Ann Blake Tracy in 1995. Tracy’s student file contains conclusive evidence that the PhD authorized by Oliver DeMille was never earned by any coursework, but was simply awarded for Tracy’s presentation of a book she had already published entitled “Prozac: Panacea or Pandora.” There is no record of Tracy enrolling in, attending, or receiving grades for any regular classes. Notwithstanding this, Tracy’s degree was granted on equal terms with the degrees other students earned by completing formal PhD coursework, practica and supervised dissertations. Records also exist for her payment of tuition fees, which negates the possibility that it was an honorary degree. Still, favors for Tracy were granted, such as a 50% scholarship discount and allowance for delayed payment on her balance. From the correspondence on file, DeMille also displayed strong personal support for Tracy’s activism on the risks of anti-depressant drugs. Based on the available evidence, it is impossible to determine whether this ideological agreement contributed to their motives, but there is no excuse for this type of exception. It is unjustifiable and reprehensible."

so you really can't argue that. you demand experts if it goes against your personal views but anybody will do if you like what they say.

see you are in a rare spot. you are telling people about the dangers of antidepressants which there are some and they are very real but your solution is just as dangerous as the problem if not more because you condition your victim to not trust any doctor that prescribes medicine.

if you are not convinced that maybe you are fighting on the wrong side of a somewhat reasonable cause i'll leave you with this.

c--- was a friend of mine. he was on antidepressants but he didn't really like how it made him feel. at some point c found a site that said that you can safely wean yourself off antidepressants without having any medical supervision. sound familiar? well i was on vacation for a week in his hometown visiting family and hadn't seen him. the next to last day i was suppose to be there is when i got the word. at some point in the night he locked the doors of his house, sat on the edge of his bed, put the shotgun under his chin and blew his face off. his mom was the one to find him. i stayed for the funeral. his cousin cried on my shoulder the entire funeral. his mom didn't cry but you could look in her eyes and see she died too. the last time i saw her she still had a similar look. no more smiles, just a deep sorrow.

you would blame the meds because "they are dangerous". you are wrong.

i blame you and the people like you for offering something so tantalizing yet so dangerous as an alternative. you and the people of your ilk killed him just as much as if you pulled the trigger yourself.

as hard as it is i can forgive you for killing the people i love because you aren't trying to hurt people. but i'm not foolish enough to forget. you are still doing the same actions that caused their deaths. yes deaths. i am driving that point home. your kind of advice has killed more than one of my friends.

you may consider yourself a beacon in the darkness. again you would be wrong.

you are an angel of death

happy valentine's day

p.s. is the offer still open for me to help people that are fighting for their lives

Thank you, for Ozbeck. What do you have in mind? There are many safe opportunities.

You seem to be blaming me for something, for which i am not responsible.

i would appreciate your assistance. ..as im visually impaired from cymbalta and have plans to create a ALLEGEY ALERT MOVEMENT. I can explain.

Message our volunteers at Cymbalta Dangers International Facebook page, for fastest response. Thanks.

As long as you agree to be kind, respectful, and agree to the 5% maximum reduction method,... the previous 10% was too fast. ..
Too much suffering snd deaths.

Since last post, ive turned a corner re the cause. Ive taught many more to research and educate drs, and make better choices.

Ive proud to have helped sufferers in support group 24/7, drs health pros, including ucsf and stanford neurology depts, have adalted the new plan.

I save lives and teach how to deal with uncooperative drs, to end the madness.

The slow taper method and support is critical to getting free of needless addictive drugs, that cause one to the target of fearful and confused reactions, from too many people. That's all changing now.

May i ask, how to better connect with you, for more constructive communications?

I am aiming to cause the manufacturers to stop making these drugs, by public awareness.

Enter all SSRIs and SNRIs, onto your patient's formal medical records, while you are able. This will also force drs to stop labeling patients as difficult or uncooperative, if refusing risky, useless, addictive, problematic ineffective rx drugs and treatment.

I am the safest rx advisor in the world, actually.
Im more experienced at exempt income tax preparation than tax pros and irs officials. Im more educated on rx antidepressants than most drs. Im an expert and experienced support group leader, and ask, are you ok?
