NEW Study:
-SSRI users were more likely to have neonates with head circumference < 35 cm & had nearly FIVE-fold higher odds of 5 min Apgar score < 7.
-SSRI users also had ⬆️ rates of postpartum hemorrhage & early-term birth.
-Rates of prenatal SSRI use increased roughly NINE-fold in S.

Jon Stone wrote to me and said he deals with SSRI harms in his clinic but his website fails to make risks of SSRIs clear. How can that ever make sense? Surely he would want to have fewer SSRI harmed patients in his clinic!!!

NEW Study:
- Adolescent exposure to Prozac in females leads to increased anxiety-like behaviors in adulthood (in mice.)
"The present findings strengthen the growing consensus that increasing serotonergic tone during the juvenile stage of development, via FLX [Prozac] in abnormal emotional and anxiety-like behaviors in adulthood."
"These findings add to the growing body of evidence that pharmacological manipulation of the serotonergic system across development results in persistent, unintended behavioral changes. Importantly, these findings have translational implications, as clinical studies have reported persistent sexual dysfunction in adult women with a history of adolescent SSRI exposure, including FLX [Prozac]. Although the present study does not directly address sexual function, the convergence of persistent behavioral alterations across preclinical and clinical studies highlights the potential for adolescent SSRI exposure to mediate long-term unforeseen side effects across multiple domains of adult behavior. As such, our results underscore the importance of considering the persistent side effects of adolescent SSRI exposure, particularly in teenage girls, who remain understudied at both clinical and preclinical levels despite the higher prescription rates of FLX [Prozac] within this population."

We urgently need more people to submit video testimonies to Moral Medicine.
If you’ve been harmed by finasteride, SSRIs, Accutane, or similar medications, please consider sharing your experience on video. Every testimony helps raise awareness and makes these experiences harder to ignore.
Even a short, 2–5 minute video providing an overview of your experience is enough.
We need more voices, and we need them now.

REQUEST TO THE POST-DRUG SYNDROME COMMUNITY — PLEASE READ
Awareness around post-drug syndromes is growing rapidly, and real stories are driving that momentum. To help push this movement forward, we’re inviting anyone affected by these conditions to submit a personal video to be published on Moral Medicine.
This includes people suffering from:
- Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS)
(Finasteride, Propecia, Proscar, saw palmetto, lion’s mane, ashwagandha, and other 5-ARI or DHT-lowering compounds)
- Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)
- Post-Accutane Syndrome (PAS)
You do not need to sit for a full interview. You do not need professional equipment or editing. Your video does not need to be long: even a short 2–5 minute recording is perfectly fine (but the length is completely up to you).
This is simply an opportunity for you to share your experience in your own words.
WHAT TO TALK ABOUT
If you’re unsure how to structure your video, here’s a simple guide:
- The medication or supplement you took
- The long-term symptoms or changes you developed
(physical, sexual, neurological, emotional, cognitive, etc.)
- How these symptoms have impacted your life: relationships, mental health, physical health, career, daily functioning, or future plans
Anything else you feel comfortable sharing
There is no need for a perfect take. Authenticity carries the most weight.
WHY YOUR STORY MATTERS
For years, these conditions have been minimized, dismissed, or misunderstood. Sharing your experience helps:
- Break the stigma surrounding post-drug syndromes
- Validate others who feel alone or invisible
- Show the world that these conditions are real, severe, and widespread
- Strengthen public awareness
- Push the medical system, researchers, and policymakers toward action
One story can change someone’s life. A chorus of stories can change the entire narrative.
If hundreds or thousands of testimonies are published, the world will have no choice but to acknowledge the truth.
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO
When you’re ready, email your recording to:
moralmedicine2023@gmail.com
Your voice will help build a library of testimonies that brings visibility, compassion, and urgency to this issue.

Kim, my records have been updated from FND/treatment resistant depression to antidepressant protracted withdrawal syndrome. I have told you this multiple times. A psychiatrist, neurologist and GP reviewed the evidence( long term SSRI use, multiple drug switches, rapid taper) and agreed. The senior NHS consultant neurologist I saw says she sees this misdx often but offered to refer me down the FND pathway as that’s all she could offer and didn’t want to “rock the boat.”
You asked for a phone call to discuss my misdx and I accepted (even whilst seriously ill). You never followed through. I invited you into the support groups so you could see how often this misdx is happening to people around the world. You declined.
You cannot claim to be interested in FND misdx and then decline two offers to speak to people that have suffered from it first hand.

Lord @DavidAltonHL recently asked a parliamentary question about the lack of a PSSD warning for vortioxetine. The @MHRAgovuk responded that the pharmaceutical company submitted a safety evaluation report, which denies that vortioxetine can cause PSSD.

Let’s push the @FDA to follow the UK’s MHRA and require specific warnings about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).
And while we’re at it, let’s strengthen the suicide risk warnings to include ALL ages, not just those 24 and younger.
We’ve been fighting to remove that age cutoff since 2006. Drug-induced suicidal thoughts and behaviors don’t magically stop when someone turns 25.
The FDA’s failure to specifically warn about PSSD raises a much bigger question: How can patients give informed consent when important risks aren’t disclosed?
It’s exactly why I created the petition at antidepressantinjury.com. We need to make the voices of those harmed impossible to ignore.
Patients deserve to know the risks BEFORE taking these drugs, regardless of their age or where they live.
Informed consent isn’t optional. It’s a patient’s right.

Shockingly, the US FDA has yet to require a specific warning about persistent post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), revealing how much the US system has been captured by the drug companies it allegedly regulates.

She had never gambled in her life. Then she started a common medication and lost over a million dollars.
Here are three drugs that can change your behavior so much you won't recognize yourself. And the scariest part is you often won't realize it's happening.
1. Abilify
It's nt and an antipsychotic, and it stimulates dopamine receptors in the brain.
A mother of two in Las Vegas, surrounded by casinos, had never gambled. After she was put on Abilify, she once missed two flights because she couldn't pull herself away from a machine at the airport. She lost her savings, her house and custody of her children.
When she finally stopped the drug, the compulsions faded. Thousands of people sued the manufacturer, which reached a confidential settlement in 2019 while denying liability. In 2016, the FDA added compulsive behaviors to the label.
2. Requip
It's used for restless legs and sometimes Parkinson's, and it also stimulates dopamine receptors.
A husband, father and respected local counselor in France started it in 2003. He began gambling obsessively and even sold his children's toys. Then came sexual compulsions. He had no idea why he was unraveling, and he attempted suicide several times.
When he found an online forum linking Requip to impulse control problems, he stopped it and slowly recovered. A French court later awarded him damages.
3. Mirapex
It's similar to Requip, and it's also used in depression.
A retired police officer in Minnesota wasn't a gambler. A few years after starting it, he lost $260,000 in casinos. He sued, and a jury awarded him $8.2 million. Hundreds of others came forward after his case.
Here's what I want you to take from this. Any psychiatric medication can cause paradoxical effects that change your personality.
When you start something new, tell the people close to you so they can watch for changes you might not notice.
Have you ever had a medication change who you were?
If you're struggling, call or text 988 (US) or your local crisis line.
