The percentage of people on SSRIs is still going up. Here is some numbers from 2017. (Previous figures in OP is from 2008) [link to www.apa.org (secure)] 12.7% The percentage of the U.S. population over age 12 who took antidepressant medication in the past month, according to an analysis from the National Center for Health Statistics. Most antidepressants are used to treat depression, while some are prescribed for other conditions. 64% The increase in the perecentage of people using antidepressants between 1999 and 2014. In 1999, 7.7 percent of the population took the medication. 19.1% The percentage of older adults (over age 60) who took antidepressants in the past month. Antidepressant use increases with age. These medications are used by 16.6 percent of people ages 40 to 59, 7.8 percent of those ages 20 to 39, and 3.4 percent of adolescents ages 12 to 19. 2 times Women are twice as likely as men to take antidepressant medication (16.5 percent compared with 8.6 percent). Women are more likely than men to take antidepressants in every age group. 16.5% The percentage of non-Hispanic white Americans taking antidepressants, about three times as much as any other race or ethnic group. By comparison, 5.6 percent of non-Hispanic black Americans, 5 percent of Hispanic Americans, and 3.4 percent of non-Hispanic Asian-Americans took antidepressants in the past month. |

Quoting: President-Elect Yo Adrian I bet at least 80% of antidepressant users are registered Democrats. [link to www.nytimes.com (secure)] This article starts out by presenting data that they clearly admit shows, without any question, that blue states have massively more psychiatrists and SSRI scripts than red states. But then they say the numbers are skewed because red staters are ignorant and poor, and consequently just can't afford either psychiatrists or SSRIs. What do you expect from this commie rag? |

That year that you choose to quit - will be your 'Year of Sorrow' I can say from experience. The withdrawal or de-toxification is very hard on the body. Your body will hurt and you'll develop symptoms that will make you fear that you are dying. Emotional collapse and suffering. Feeling frail and anxious around people. Sudden convulsive episodes of weeping and being unable to cope. This is a way to keep yourself from blowing your brains out; Use this time of suffering to repent and ask Jesus to walk with you. Jesus is real. He is able to help you escape this mental anguish. To repent means to to turn away from you old way of living into a new way; walking with Jesus. He will speak to you during the worst of your suffering. Hew will make a way for you to get through it. Everyone is different. I escaped. I lived to tell you. Now I walk with Jesus daily and He is THERE FOR ME. No more fear. He has given me a different life. Totally different than before. With the confusion and uncertain times ahead of us you could try to secure more meds and try to endure.. but if you find yourself without meds or run out, remember that Jesus is there for you. |

Sarafem (fluoxetine) What it’s for: Treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PDD), a severe form of PMS. You can get the same drug as an inexpensive generic. But there has been a big push behind the brand name. Faced with steep declines in sales of the antidepressant Prozac when the generic hit the market, Eli Lilly rebranded it with a feminine name and a slick ad campaign—and slapped on a high, brand-name price.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78445863 United States 01/17/2021 04:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The women in their 40s and 50s have a good reason - menopause. Hormones tank and women start to feel like shit, especially because it impacts their sleep. Almost all doctors flat out REFUSE to prescribe hormone replacement to women any longer. The AMA has told them to prescribe low doses of antidepressants such as Trazadone and Doxepin for sleep (off normal use). They are not habit forming and don't have the other side effects that sleep aids like Ambien have. If you are prone to snoring or any sleep apnea (people who snore also normally have sleep apnea), a stronger pill like the Ambien can put you in such a deep sleep you won't wake up and you die in your sleep. So, you can expect that almost all older women will get a prescription for one of these low-dose antidepressant (sleep aids) at some point in their lives. |

They own it today. This is the place with the room of 'a thousand points of light'. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Abbot purchased all the pharmaceutical rights from Solvay recently. "Belgian chemical and pharmaceutical group Solvay said on Monday it will sell its entire pharmaceutical business to Illinois-based global firm Abbott for more than 4.5 billion euros to focus on chemicals. The deal, which could rise to 5.2 billion euros (US$7.6 billion) if add-on clauses are met, sees Abbott take over all Solvay's pharmaceuticals employees and assume liabilities including future exposure to litigation. " 7 Billion USD. And they didn't care about the millions of adult lives ruined or extinguished, nor the thousands of autistic children created. And lots more to come in the future. But it creates deep state voters so they can continue to make that money. |
