Review: Everyone should read this book - I take issue with Publisher's Weekly for saying the authors are dogmatic. Unfortunately, few people understand what is going on with the drug industry unless they've been caught up in the hell of drug discontinuation themselves. Many publications are afraid to speak out against the powerful drug companies. Some of these are supported by drug advertisements. Few doctors see what is happening because they are doublebooked, getting their patients in and out. Psychiatrists prescribe drugs all too easily. And many patients who take psych drugs are not supervised by their doctors to check for adverse affects. I salute Breggins and Cohen for taking risks to go against the powerful status quo. Because of them, people who have developed an accidental dependence on these drugs have somewhere to turn to figure out what to do. I tried the drug Effexor once, and I felt like jumping out the window. My doctor told me to keep taking it for two weeks to see if I adapted. I couldn't get through another day. I am also one of many who stumbled upon the drug Klonopin. I took it for a few months only, and it has taken me over two years to discontinue the drug. I'd previously taken tranquilizers with no problem stopping. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd get violently ill while tapering off these drugs. I have met others in a similar situation who've been diagnosed "bi-polar" because the withdrawal symptoms from these drugs make people appear crazy. Consumers and their doctors need to learn the truth about these drugs. And Your Drug May Be Your Problem tells it like it is. After discussing symptoms caused by various psych drugs, the book explains how to taper with the 10 percent method and goes over symptoms of withdrawal. The authors give guidance to help therapists use other tools besides treating their patients with drugs. And finally, there are some great suggestions on how a depressed or anxious person may get back on track. Your Drug May Be Your Problem is a courageous book that will enlighten readers who have given control of their minds and bodies to their doctors, drug companies and the FDA.
Review: Valuble Information. Insightful. Extremely Helpful Book. - I read ALL of Dr. Breggins' books this year. Now I have experience in this field. Book and Family Mental Issues. and Self. With Meds and without meds. This book Rang True ! I believe For a Fact that with most meds and these psych meds For Sure that a little bit goes a long way. and that psych meds are Way Over Prescribed ! Too many and Too Much Dosage. and this keeps people sicker and longer ! (and easier to manage) which is very sad to me. Big Pharma is Sick ! Deranged. Out for $$$. Out for the Kill. really. I almost despise them when it comes to the Amounts that are prescribed. and really most of this **** shouldn't even be produced or available. It is truly sickening to me. I think That Dr. Breggin gets it Right. Excellent books. And very good at helping us understand Mental / Emotional illness in ourselves and loved ones ! or Unloved Ones ! I would say Your Drug Is Most of Your Problem. Find a Good (Affordable) Listener. And talk away ! They are Priceless in the end. The sooner you do the better off you will be and stay ! Children should NOT be put on psych meds Most of the time. Quit messing with our brains. Like I said rings true to me !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Insights
*by A***H on December 14, 2013*

Breggin definitely has a strong and outspoken position against psychiatric drugs. He presents many insights on psychiatric that are difficult to find elsewhere. He has objection to the affect many psychiatric drugs have in slowing down, tranquilizing the mind, making individuals feel "not themselves", that lose part of your mind or use of it when on strong psychotropic drugs. He believes that it is more important to make changes in your life, fight your way through it rather than depend on psychiatric drugs. Breggin's wording is often politically incorrect, his facts are sometimes accurate, sometimes he makes sweeping statements based on his perspective that may not be entirely true in all cases. To the extent that the psychiatric world makes sweeping claims about the alleged effectiveness of medication, Breggin skews in the opposite direction. In the opinion of this review, Breggin's side is closer to the truth, but he would do well also to present both sides of the issue and promulgate his ideas more reasonably, substantiate claims with more documented proof, which there often is beyond anecdotal accounts. If he did that he would attract less enemies. Breggin also comes across egotistical referring to his explanations as "my" theory that others expounded on and got the credit. He would do better to stick to expounding his ideas than taking credit for himself. In any case, Your Drug May Be Your Problem presents strong reasons to reconsider taking psychiatric medications, and to cast a shadow of doubt on 21st century psychiatry with its emphasis on labeling and drugging. That one of the motivations for such an approach, when there are many other approaches that are more valid and effective, is economics, that is big money for Big Pharm, is, at this point, indisputable. That Big Pharm manipulates or hides data in order to get psychiatric drugs on the market or expand their markets is also well-proven, not only by Breggin, but by a larger body of evidence, since the time this book was written. While Breggin is dogmatic, he also raises many potent arguments.
