I've been corresponding with an Australian author of late [Rebekah Beddoe] and we started musing over the help needed when withdrawing from SSRi's. Rebekah wrote a heart wrenching account of her time on a whole host of anti psychotic and antidepressant drugs, her book aptly entitled 'Dying For A Cure', is a terrific read and highlights the dangers of these drugs but more importantly the lack of knowledge the medical profession have regarding the addictive qualities and consequent tapering programs [or lack of] for patients.
Rebekah pointed me to Beyond Blue, an Australian organisation that provides information about depression to consumers, carers and health professionals. To be fair, I had heard of these before and have, in the past, visited their page. I seem to remember a conflict of interest regarding Beyond Blue but can't for the life of me remember whether I wrote it or read it elsewhere [my memory isn't what it used to be, thanks GSK]
