Summary: excellent book, your health depends on being informed .
Comment: This is an excellent book. you won't find out the side effects from these drugs from your psychiatrist, so you better learn about them yourself. I only took haldol for six months and I have side effects that haven't dissapeared yet. I'm just hoping eventually they will but not all people taking these drugs are fortunate in this regard as you will find reading this book. I believe people in the psychiatric profession belong in jail for brain damaging people against their will with the courts backing them up. Anyways the best defense for your self is to become informed by reading Dr. Breggin's books. If the entire world were informed I guarantee you these people would be all out business like they should be. I work in a vitamin store you may find some natural solutions for your problems there. Good luck and read this book!

Summary: Excellent source of hard-to-find drug information.
Comment: This is the perfect book for anyone who wonders why she or he feels WORSE -- whether emotionally or physically -- when using psychiatric drugs like Prozac or lithium. Both easy to understand and thoroughly researched, "Your Drug May Be Your Problem" explains why the drugs are dangerous, how to safely stop using them, and how to deal with emotional crises without resorting to drugs. In a culture in which psychiatric drugs are pushed by everyone from the White House down to the neighborhood elementary school, this book is a refreshing change. I WISH I'd had the information contained in this book six years ago when doctors put me on a nightmarish regimen of psychiatric drugs. All in all, a fascinating and enlightening read.

Summary: A must read for anyone taking psychiatric medications
Comment: As a former consumer of mental health services and a mental health professional I believe Dr. Breggins book is a timely and necessary read for all mental health professionals and for anyone taking psychiatric drugs as well as family members who may be caregvers. During my brief career in mental health (I was driven away by my revulsion at the abuse by the drug industry against a vulnerable population) I witnessed a madness of prescription writing by unethical psychiatrists who unwittingly participate in a new form of medical care...the legacy of the pharmacheuital salesman. Do not believe for a moment it is a doctor who prescribes these medications. The real doctor has a degree in salesmanship. The pharmacheutical sales representative who peddles his wares to doctors who have neither the time nor the desire to research all the new drugs coming out in this market. What about the FDA you might ask? It no longer functions as the watchdog it once was. Today's rapid paced technology has left our food and drug administration's ability to test new drugs far behind. It has been said this ability was lost by 1984. Drugs that have come to market since this time have never been fully tested. It is what one scientist called "a disaster waiting to happen". During my brief career I witnessed clients being given two, three, four, up to ten or more drugs each month only to be followed by a discontinuation the next month of one or more at random. This was always followed by a trial with new drugs to replace the old drugs. This merry-go-round of care ALWAYS caused a decline in health in my experience. Only when I saw a client begin to take control and refuse to ride the medication merry-go-round and begin to seek alternaives did I see any improvement. All of this is highlighted in Dr. Breggins book. If you care for anyone who has to endure the abuse being mediated by our drug industry you owe it to yourself to read and to heed the words of Dr. Breggin.
