Anti-Depressant Drugs NO Better Than Placebo
It appears that the antidepressant drug you may be taking is no more effective than taking a sugar pill. A recent "meta-analysis" (a big study which looks at lots of smaller studies) has revealed exactly this. Just recently, six separate studies were combined into one to look into the effectiveness of antidepressants, and the results have shown that you may be better off treating the underlying causes of your depression rather than the symptom itself. Mild to severe depression might be better treated with alternatives to antidepressant drugs, which do not help patients much more than an inactive placebo, researchers said.

January 11, 2010 @ 9:55 pmHi Yiara,
I am pleased for you that you have read Dr. Wilson’s book. I just wish that there were many more women out there who realised that “depression” in many cases is in fact a classic symptom of adrenal fatigue. The problem arises that there is very little profit in actually spending tiome with a patient and more in a quick prescription because the problem must be “in her head”. You can go to http://www.melatonin.com for melatonin. You are NOT the odd one out, it appears odd to take drugs for stress and burn out related problems! Stay with Dr. Wilson’s Adrenal Fatigue Program, I have treated over 800 patients on this program so far after 3 years, and countless have been hooked or addicted on benzo drugs, or anti depressants. Many are no longer on these toxic concoctions anymore. There is life beyond pharmaceuticals, you need to be strong and stay with the dietary and lifestyle recommendations of Dr. Wilson. It may take one, two, three years or more, but eventually you will be off these poisons. Be strong, and don’t let any doctor make you feel that you “need to be on drugs for the remaining of your natural life” like so many of my patients have been told, especially the anti depressants. Ask your doctor if he (or she) would have their partner take these drugs forever, most times they will side step this question. Mind altering drugs are like guns, they only cause more problems for the user. And eventually – they make you sick and may kill you. Be strong, persistence breaks resistance.
Kindest Regards, Eric Bakker ND

January 8, 2010 @ 7:50 amI really appreciate the article about anti-depressants. I myself have taken anti-depressants for ten years and, in fact, I do not know if the problem is depression or adrenal fatigue. Well, after reading Dr. Wilson’s book I’ve realized the actual problem might be adrenal fatigue. But as I´ve been under treatment for adrenals for about three months, following Dr. Wilson’s instructions, I feel insecure to stop with drugs because every odd symptom I have get horrified and think it is because ” I’ve diminished the quantity of the antidepressant these two days.That´s why I´m feeling bad”. It´s not easy to deal with that. The other point is that I have a lot of problems to sleep and melatonine is not sold here in Brazil anymore – and I take another drug to try to sleep better.
Thanks for your attention. It´s very important to know some people are seriously interested in solving these problems. I really feel I am the odd one out.
