MHRA: REVIEW OF PSYCHOTROPIC AND ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDICATIONS- WHY WILL INFORMED CONSENT NEVER HAPPEN IN THE U.K. ?
THE DRACONIAN ‘NEED TO KNOW BASIS’ RULE: Patients will never be told what the risks are until they are already suffering not knowing why, unable to help themselves, and it could be too late for more mothers like Becky and Samantha. (The risks extend to all patients prescribed high risk meds.). ‘A leaflet is not enough’. We have been saying this for 9 years! See our Bulletins 10 to 14E. The MHRA 2026 revised actions will not adequately protect patients.
MHRA, Why, Instead of using the USA,s N.I.H. Black Box Warning as promised in historical agreements to collaborate with USA FDA and Everglow, our British MHRA is instead using an ‘inverted black triangle’ in medication leaflets, which does not indicate the medication is high risk but instead ambiguously writes that the medication is under review and directs them to the Yellow Card system which historically has been shown, DOESN’T WORK . See our bulletins.Nothing has changed.
The New Mother and the Psychiatrist – AntiDepAware
“Lyn told the inquest that her daughter had a historic intolerance to medications and, although Rebecca complained that Mirtazapine was making her anxiety worse, the dosage was originally increased before she was taken off it. She added that this was not the only medication she had been prescribed and that at one point she had “begged” to be allowed to stop taking Mirtazapine”.
Can you join us to help prevent this ?
My daughter, like so many other unprotected patients, suffered an horrific ‘avoidable’ suicide. It has devastated 1000,s of people but it doesnt need to happen .
Rebecca committed suicide 24 hours after consent had been given, to stop taking the doubled dose of Mirtazapine and Zopiclone, which had caused Akasthisia, (severe physical side effects) and provoked suicidal ideation, but this high risk medication obviously stayed in her system for days ( see CoPilot info below) without any care and safeguarding. She had begged for a week to come off it, but instead it was doubled and added to with Zopiclone. Dr. Agnieszka Klimovicz’s private Priory Clinic psychiatrist, added to the unforgivable Coup de Grace she delivered, with her insistence that Becky’s rapidly worsening symptoms were not due to the drug side effects but to her deteriorating mental illness. So this psychiatrist added to Becky’s intolerable side effects and panic. She was made to believe she was going mad.Yet no one has been brought to book or held to account for this since June 14th 2017!!! Becky should and would still be with us if safe prescribing and correct safeguarding was in place, but nothing has changed.
We need Rebecca’s Law now.
In addition to Withdrawal effects /symptoms, “ Mirtazapine typically stays in your system for approximately 4 to 9 days after consumption, influenced by factors such as dosage and individual metabolism. It has a half-life of about 20-40 hours, meaning it takes this time for the body to metabolise and eliminate half of the drug. Mirtazapine can be detected in urine for 4 to 8 days, and in some cases, it may take 80 to 200 hours for it to be completely out of your system.
