Discussion Pharmacy and Psychiatry effects

[Dark days]

Does anyone feel that the 'Big Pharm' has a lot to answer for? Prescribed medications have done more harm than good or not?
What's your stories or experiences?
Has anyone been able to challenge medical professionals for negligence or know of any cases?
Has counselling or therapy helped you or not?

In my experience medication cocktails have made me worst, feels like brain damage and enduring a nightmare. Anxious that the damage and devastating consequences are irreversible and down hill from here.

I can't believe how blithely the switch or double doses. You can't do that with Tylenol. 2 not working? Take 4. Still hurt after 4? Try 8, and a couple of Advil. No doctor would say that. Not with anything that they didn't do a blood test or a culture swab for. It's all a guessing game. They have zero proof these pulls will "fix" you but they keep pushing them on you. How this is best practice, I don't know.

I know exactly what you mean. Its criminal. People in power and authority experimenting with people's lives, with sometimes damaging consequences.

I've only ever had good experiences with medications and doctors. Maybe it's because I'm a medical professional and because of that they know they can't run rings around me so easily, I don't know. But always been good, medication has changed my life and my most recent psychiatrist was the best I've ever had. Sadly, I know it's not like that for everyone.

Thank you for sharing. I wish I had the knowledge of the risks within the medical world, and did not put my trust in so-called professionals or experts in their field. Hindsight. If only I could turn back time. Refreshing to hear a positive experience though. Maybe with the right diagnosis and treatments outcomes could have been different?
