Editor's note: Tell your friends about this looming danger.
Folks, please,
please, please, take a moment to read and view this information in
order to keep our babies safe from birth defects and antidepressant
murders.
From: Amy Philo
URGENT: SENATOR HARRY REID IS ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO PASS A PACKAGE OF BILLS INCLUDING THE MOTHERS ACT.
Information: Several weeks ago, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
packaged a number of bills together and tried to get the bills passed
as one package (The "Coburn" Omnibus Bill). While the package of bills
included some legislation that was positive, it also included The
MOTHERS Act. As a mother who was prescribed antidepressants days after
giving birth (because my three-day-old son required emergency medical
treatment for a life-threatening choking incident and I was very upset
by the incident, medical professionals, including my OBGYN, chose to
consider my worry about my newborn Postpartum Anxiety -- instead of a
normal reaction of any new mother concerned about her son), and who was
subsequently forced to continue these drugs while involuntarily held in
a psychiatric ward, I understand the implications of this screening and
"treatment" legislation better than any of its advocates. On the drugs
I became suicidal and had thoughts of extreme violence I had never
before experienced in my life.
Please take a moment to do the following to protect mothers who will
not be as fortunate as I was in realizing it was the drugs making me
psychotic. You can see a video of my son below with the facts about
antidepressants.
Sincerely
Amy Philo

*****************************************
DON’T LET THE 110th CONGRESS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASING
ANTIDEPRESSANT-RELATED BIRTH DEFECTS AND INFANT DEATHS.
DO NOT PASS THE MOTHERS ACT AS PART OF AN OMNIBUS PACAKGE.
The MOTHERS Act is a highly controversial bill, considering the growing
public awareness that antidepressants have serious and even deadly side
effects. This bill, if passed, will assuredly increase the number of
pregnant women and new mothers being put on antidepressant drugs. There
are already too many pregnant women being put on antidepressants
evidenced by the FDA’s adverse reaction reports (MedWatch) listed
below. This bill will assuredly increase the number of pregnant women
and new mothers being prescribed antidepressants documented by the U.S.
FDA to cause suicidal ideation, mania, worsening depression and birth
defects. FDA’s MedWatch System (Adverse Drug Reactions) Already Has
Overwhelming Evidence of Spontaneous Abortions, Premature Babies and
Birth Defects from SSRI Antidepressants:
Doctors, other health care providers, pharmacists, lawyers and
consumers filed the following adverse drug reaction reports with the
FDA’s MedWatch system during 2004-2007 concerning pregnant women taking
antidepressants (the most common and recommended treatment for women
diagnosed with postpartum depression). In all the reports below,
antidepressants were cited as the primary suspected drug to have caused
the adverse reaction in pregnant women:
- 145 spontaneous abortions
- 150 premature babies
- 208 babies born with heart disease
- 218 babies born with defects
The FDA states that only 1-10% of side effects are even
reported to their MedWatch database. Using a median range of 5% being
reported, the actual number of pregnant women experiencing adverse
reactions to antidepressant drugs is estimated as follows:
- 2,900 spontaneous abortions
- 3,000 premature births
- 4,160 babies born with heart disease
- 4,360 babies born with birth defects
The “Melanie Blocker-Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care
Act,” also known as “The MOTHERS Act” was named after Melanie Stokes, a
new mother who was subjected to a cocktail of psychiatric drugs and
electroshock after being diagnosed with post-partum depression. It was
only after she had been administered drugs documented by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) to cause suicidal ideation that she
committed suicide. There is too much controversy over antidepressants
to pass any legislation that could increase the administration of these
drugs to pregnant women and new mothers. Do not allow the
pharmaceutical interests to put new mothers and their unborn children
at risk. Do not pass the MOTHERS Act.
Signed
