Stop the Mothers Act deadly push for anti-depressants
Yet another item that should be on your radar: H.R. 20 The Mothers Act
This dangerous legislation - with a typical leftist/Orwellian euphemistic name - has passed the House and been received in the Senate. It is named for a mother who committed suicide ostensibly because of postpartum depression. Those who've dug more deeply into Melanie's story are convinced she committed suicide because of the anti-depressants prescribed to her.
Please watch this video, do your research and refuse pills pushed by well-meaning but brainwashed health professionals (did you know that their required continuing education is paid for by drug companies? That should tell us something . . . ):
Antidepressants double the risk of suicide according to the FDA and increase the likelihood of psychosis for new moms tenfold. Effexor, which Andrea Yates was taking when she murdered her children carries the words "homicidal ideation" on the label. These drugs double the risk of spontaneous abortion, and cause stillbirth, SIDS, heart and lung defects in babies which can be fatal.
If the idea that Big Government is working hand-in-hand with Big Pharma to push more and more drugs on the population, please read my research on Big Pharma

Your posts about anti-depressants are making me wonder if I've swallowed (haha) a lot of lies. I was first prescribed Sarafem (another name for Prozac) in 2005 for severe PMS. I took that for about 2 years before weaning myself off, and then started taking Zoloft a little over 18 months ago when I was pregnant.
My ob/gyn never pushed anything on me. I asked for the medication because I hated feeling out of control about my emotions and completely irrational. I really feel like the meds have helped me.
However, I also do not want to be taking something that I don't need - or that even could be harming me! I am definitely going to be doing some research about this so that I know I am doing what is best for me, and not just what's best for a pharmaceutical company's bottom line.
[Erin, you probably already know this, but please be very careful if you decide to make some transitions. Make sure you have a good support group. I really appreciate what some moms have said here about realizing that that was a missing factor which contributed to depression. Be ready to feel things you've been avoiding feeling, knowing that time will bring healing. I have some experience with this when I recovered from years of drug addiction and had to face dealing with the emotions I'd been avoiding. There are forums where you can get support from peers, like http://www.depressionforums.org/forums/Zoloft-t34838.html. And if you do make this change, I would be very interested in publishing your experience if you want to share.]
