This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Review the use of mental health medication prescribed to adults and children.
Adults and children are prescribed medication with a lack of follow up appointments and advice.
Children are slipping through the gaps and this compromises their recovery into adult life.
The use of medications have many withdrawal issues which need to be concidered for debate.
More details
We - the petition signers have grave concern in the use of certain medications which produce terrible side affects (some debilitating) which are not recognised by some GPs. Many hop from one med to the next.
For example the packaging of Cymbalta provides a lack of info on its safety and the difficulty of discontinuing the drug. Many have and do suffer severe withdrawal symptoms like 'brain zaps'.
Please review the use of these medications.
By doing so you will prevent further distress.
