47. I got into it with a mental health person once.

Mon Jan 6, 2025, 08:02 AM

Monday

I said that anything that has withdrawal symptoms is, by definition, addictive. He was determined to tell me that this was not so, and certain not SSRIs.

Jump forward to a year later. All the Big Pharma companies are releasing new guidelines about using SSRIs because there is a risk of addiction. Something that doctor swore would not apply to SSRIs because they did not do that at all.

So, was he really in the dark about this, or was he just trying to protect his Big Pharma overlords? I was never able to determine this. However, having had a mother who was an emergency room nurse for over four decades, I can tell you that there are doctors who are in with the drug reps and will do what they can to protect that extra grift.
