Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The first book to expose the shortcomings of psychiatric drugs and to guide patients and doctors through the process of withdrawing from them. Well over ten million Americans are prescribed a psychiatric medication annually, for symptoms as varied as headache and insomnia to depression and various psychiatric disorders. Unbelievably, many of these drugs have not been formally tested to treat the problems for which they have been prescribed. Scientifically documenting the need for an end to this vicious cycle of inadequate approval, mis-medication, and irresponsible inattention to adverse side effects, Breggin and Cohen advocate compassionate and non-toxic therapies, and offer readers a roadmap for sensible, safe withdrawal from psychiatric drugs.Whether the drug is a sleeping pill, tranquilizer, stimulant, antidepressant, mood stabilizer, or antipsychotic, Your Drug May Be Your Problem reveals its documented withdrawal symptoms, demonstrating what many doctors dont know, understand, or consider: withdrawal symptoms often mimic the symptoms for which a person has been medicated in the first place, a fact that frequently prompts doctors to mistakenly re-medicate their patients at eve.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Prozac, Xanax, Halcion, Haldol, Lithium. These psychiatric drugs--and dozens of other short-term "solutions"--are being prescribed by doctors across the country as a quick antidote to depression, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other psychiatric problems. But at what cost? In this searing, myth-shattering exposé, psychiatrist Peter R. Breggin, M.D., breaks through the hype and false promises surrounding the "New Psychiatry" and shows how dangerous, even potentially brain-damaging, many of its drugs and treatments are. He asserts that: psychiatric drugs are spreading an epidemic of long-term brain damage; mental "illnesses" like schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety disorder have never been proven to be genetic or even physical in origin, but are under the jurisdiction of medical doctors; millions of schoolchildren, housewives, elderly people, and others are labeled with medical diagnoses and treated with authoritarian interventions, rather than being patiently listened to, understood, and helped. Toxic Psychiatry sounds a passionate, much-needed wake-up call for everyone who plays a part, active or passive, in America's ever-increasing dependence on harmful psychiatric drugs. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 273 pages. Prozac. Millions of Americans are on it. And just about everyone else is wond ering if they should be on it, too. The claims of the pro-Prozac chorus are enti cing: that it can cure everything from depression (the only disorder for which P rozac was originally approved) to fear of public speaking, PMS, obesity, shyness , migraine, and back pain - with few or no side effects. But is the reality quit e different? At what price do we buy Prozac-induced euphoria and a shiny new per sonality? Psychiatrist Peter Breggin, M.D., and coauthor Ginger Ross Breggin ans wer these and other crucial questions in Talking Back to Prozac. They explain wh at Prozac is and how it works. And they take a hard look at the real story behin d today's most controversial drug: the fact that Prozac was tested in trials of four to six weeks in length before receiving FDA approval; the difficulty Prozac 's manufacturer had in proving its effectiveness during these tests; the informa tion on side effects that the FDA failed to include in its final labeling requir ements; how Prozac acts as a stimulant not unlike the addictive drugs cocaine an d amphetamine; the dangers of possible Prozac addiction and abuse; the seriousne ss and frequency of Prozac's side effects, including agitation, insomnia, nausea , diarrhea, loss of libido, and difficulty reaching orgasm; the growing evidence that Prozac can cause violence and suicide; and the social and workplace implic ations of using the drug not to cure depression but to change personality and en hance performance. Using dramatic case histories as well as scientific research and carefully documented evidence, the Breggins expose the potentially damaging effects of Prozac. They also describe the resounding success that has been achie.…
