I trusted that if the FDA approved a drug, it had to be safe.
FDA-approved does not mean safe.

Millions of people who have already run this study on themselves would be happy to share their findings.
A new study funded by the Wellcome Trust will take people off antidepressants over 4 weeks and will measure serotonin levels (using a brain scan following tryptophan depletion) to predict who will relapse. There are 9 measures of relapse or mood symptoms. There are no measures of withdrawal.

No announced plans to replace the Flock network with Axon ALPRs.
Alexandria already uses Axon body-worn cameras (hundreds of them) and has reported a small number of Axon license plate readers. City officials are deactivating the 61 Flock cameras this week and will set guiding principles for any future surveillance tech at the Nov. 10 Council meeting. Any new system requires explicit Council approval.

🚨 BREAKING: Hackers are hitting banks in 7 countries at the same time.
This is what Covid looked like in week 1. A few countries. Small numbers. Nobody called it a crisis.
1/ South Korea: hackers used a Chinese AI tool to break into at least 7 financial firms. 68,000 people's data stolen. 16 firms breached by mid-October. This week Daishin Securities reported 38,490 customers' data leaked, bank account numbers included.
2/ Latin America: one gang ran AI agents built on Claude, Grok and Kimi against 400+ targets, banks and payment firms included. They stole passwords and got into customer bank accounts.
3/ Italy: a fake WhatsApp from "the CEO" and an AI-cloned voice got Intesa Sanpaolo's private bank to send out €95 million. €36 million is still MISSING, turned into crypto.
4/ India: small lenders lost ₹300 crore (about $31 million) in 2 months. 150 cases. Hackers copied bank logins and sent the money out as fake loans. One firm was hit twice.
5/ Crypto: $351 million drained from Bitget's hot wallets. North Korean hackers are suspected.
6/ Japan: hackers hit GMO Internet's currency trading service and demanded $50 million in crypto. The prime minister promised an emergency anti-cyberattack package.
7/ Australia: the regulator warns AI attacks put more than A$4.5 trillion in retirement savings in the firing line. Government cyber alerts jumped 80% in a year.
Now zoom out.
AI hacking tools are now easy to get. Smaller firms have weak security. The money moves in minutes. It jumps across banks, through rented accounts, out as cash or crypto. The bosses are often abroad.
Covid locked the streets. Nobody is calling this a crisis yet. But the central banks already plan for the day the hackers get in.
The G7 agreed to run drills that simulate AI attacks on banks. The ECB reportedly gave eurozone banks 4 months to hand in their defence plans.
If your savings sit in a bank, hit follow. I'm tracking where the hackers strike next and how much they take.

Hickox would never include the fact that medications can cause significant harm especially when practiced unsafely.

There’s literally a black box warning on the drug label for an increase in suicidality. You understand nothing about these drugs.

It’s hilarious that you think this is anti science when most of the data to back these drugs are from 8-12 week studies. I’d say it’s pretty anti science not to question a drug that barely outperforms placebo and have little to no rct’s that last more than 6 months.

Prácticamente no hay estudios que evalúen la seguridad a largo plazo de los antidepresivos. La mayoría de estudios duran menos de un año
Replying to @SadGurl2K16
Unfortunately that's not true. The UK government last week warned of the risk of a very very serious syndrome called PSSD that effectively causes your genitals to go numb and you to lose the ability to feel all human emotions completely and forever, permanently, for life.
It's seemingly not rare - with a Canadian study estimating up to 13% maybe impacted.
It's really hard to understand how severe and life destroying it is. Every aspect of life is permanently removed.
There are also hundreds of hours of interviews with people who have developed PSSD here if you're interested in watching :

I’ll take it. A lot of hard working God fearing Americans live in a trailer. No shame in that.

Giving patients the information they need to make informed decisions is NOT “scaring people off life-saving medication.”
This kind of scaremongering and emotional blackmail needs to be called out for what it is.
Patients deserve accurate information about the risks and benefits of treatment so they can make informed decisions for themselves.
Explaining that SSRI/SNRI withdrawal can be severe and prolonged is not discouraging people from taking life saving medication. It is treating them as autonomous adults capable of weighing risks and benefits.
For someone experiencing life threatening depression, the potential benefits of an antidepressant may well outweigh the risk of severe withdrawal. For someone experiencing a short term, situational period of low mood, however, understanding those risks might reasonably lead them to reconsider whether medication is the right choice.
That is precisely what informed consent is supposed to achieve.
