Antidepressant Studies
I recent study of antidepressant studies has shown that the companies haven't been being entirely honest with us.
Apparently the makers of these drugs have only been publishing those studies in JAMA and New England Journal Of Medicine if they show positive results.
Apparently they've held back many studies that show that these drugs often do very little to help with depression, and can actually do a great deal of harm.
something to be aware of...
(I put a link up on the social board that has a petition being signed by effexor users who've had their lives destroyed by that drug in particular).

Was lexapro in there. I think it is a ssri. But, not prozac, huh? I feel like a walking drug store here. thanks. tj
This is lame but I can't access the NEJM site because they aren't free. I've had some people ask some specific questions, but until I can check it by using the "old fashioned internet" (ie; trudging over to the library magazine section) I won't know more.
The specific drugs mentioned are Paxil, effexor and prozac. BUT, they mentioned 12 drugs specifically in the article, but the abstract doesn't show the list. So that's only three of them. hopefully it's just the SSRI's they're talking about and not the IMAO's.
So I'll let you know what I find out when I can get down there. Unless someone has a January 17 2007 copy of the New England Journal of Medicine lying around? :)
The one good result of this is they're talking about making the clinicaltrials.org site easier to access and navigate (it's impossible to find things there right now). So these studies will be required to be in there and much easier to access.
