However did the human race survive the millions of years before Big Pharma rolled out its prescription pscychotropic brain poisons?
No, can’t take SNRI’s nor SSRI’s.
thanks for posting. Esketamine is a really dangerous hallucinogenic drug that has to be taken in a clinic, only as a last resort for depression.
It pains me to see knee-jerk reactions condemning use of medications for depression here on this forum and elsewhere. I think people simply don’t understand what clinical depression is and that the endgame for many is suicide. OK? I don’t care if Big Pharma is making trillions as long their drugs work. People who think a drug has to work all the time for everyone to be considered as a treatment simply don’t understand the nature of mental illness. There is no one-size fits all. The haters can hang their hats on instances of bad side effects or unproven links to suicide while ignoring the fact that anti-depressants have helped millions. If you want to cry bullshit, look at the billions spent every year on talk therapies. Patients can go for years yapping about how badly they were treated by parents or others and still feel no relief. When medication for depression works it can improve and even save lives.
Ketamine is like the ivermectin of antidepressants. One should carefully assess any study’s methods and provenance before making definitive statements. I make no judgements either way, but a lot of money is at stake here.
It responds best to sunshine or Vitamin D supplements. I have watched it work multiple times now. Most, maybe all clinical or manic depression is a Vitamin D deficiency. Winter Blues is a real condition and responds immediately to Vitamin D supplementation. A chronically depressed recently ex heroin addict I am acquainted with started taking D supps at my suggestion and stopped her methadone after a month. She is fine now and makes a point of going to the beach or just walking on sunny days.
