Hi I'm new. And REALLY angry after realizing that I've been going through zoloft withdrawl. Now for a psych patient I've been pretty compliant with my medications over the years. BUT pdocs all know that psych patients have a low compliance with meds as a group. It is part of the disease AND a perfectly natural response to feeling pefectly healthy for a long time and continuing to take meds everyday. So....here's why I'm mad....why aren't the pdocs telling people about the symptoms you can have when you come off an SSRI? Shouldn't patients have the right to know all of the benefits and risks of a treatment? In fact I believe that's called INFORMED CONSENT and I believe it's the law (I may be wrong on this).
Any thoughts?
Could it be that they are in denial or are we deliberately being mislead?
