Search the Psychiatric Drug Side Effects Search Engine—By psychiatrists own admission, psychiatric drugs do not cure anyone. They simply mask symptoms while concurrently introducing extremely well documented side effects such as diabetes, heart attack, stroke, sudden death, birth defects, mania, psychosis, suicidal and homicidal ideation. Search CCHR’s Psychiatric Drug Side Effects Search Engine to easily find all adverse reaction reports filed with the US FDA between 2004-2011 by doctors, pharmacists, health care providers and consumers as well as all studies and warnings pertaining to that drug in the fields below the graphs.
Despite a tremendous amount of information available about psychiatric drugs and their adverse effects, the data has not been easily accessible or understandable to the general public. It is for this reason that CCHR is providing you with information that is not easily available, but is documented. So you can find the risks for yourself, your friends and family.
