[drugawareness] Lilly: Prozac not good for British children or PMDD

cases

 

 

 

I wonder if Lilly sent this letter to the FDA in the US? They apparently have

not yet heard that Lilly feels that Prozac is not recommended for children

for ANY INDICATION. They are the ones who approved it for children in January of

this year.

 

But we should not be too quick to judge, they may have research awaiting us

at the Feb 2 hearings to show that there is something so unique about children

who reside in the UK so that they cannot handle Prozac or the other SSRIs

where American children can. You think? Remember with 50% of medical studies now

being ghostwritten by drug companies anything is possible.

 

And now after all these years of hearing how beneficial Prozac and its clones

are for PMMD we learn that it does not exist?!

 

But what about that poor woman on my television set who could not get her

grocery cart out and completely " lost it " in the middle of the store? What will

she do now? If not PMMD, what " disorder " was she suffering from and what will

we treat her with now?

 

But once again this is only the dilemma facing women in the UK. American

women still have the antidepressant treatment available to them for this

non-existant disorder. Once again proving that Americans are what? . . . from

another

planet?

The Alliance for Human Research Protection has obtained copies of

two Eli Lilly documents that were sent to all physicians in the UK

the end of last week.

 

A letter informs doctors in the UK that Prozac is no longer authorized

for use in (so-called) premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

And Eli Lilly's new Prozac Fact Sheet sent to UK physicians--but not to

US physicians--states that Prozac is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN for

any indication.

 

 

Reasons given for withdrawal of PMDD indication:

" PMDD is not a well-established disease entity across Europe. It is

not listed in the International Classification of Diseases. "

 

This demonstrates the cynicism of drug company giants:

Eli Lilly's marketing invention primarily hurt American women--

who were deliberately deluded into believing they suffered from a

psychiatric " disease " where none exists.

 

FDA officials bear a major responsibility for having allowed drug

companies to invent diseases--such as PMDD, " social anxiety disorder, "

ADHD, " oppositional defiance disorder " --all created in order to expand

the market for antidepressant drugs, such as Prozac. American doctors

have been participants in this fraudulent marketing scheme.
