Ep 1278 | Former FDA Official Unveils Pharma’s Shocking Lies About Depression | Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
How SSRIs Are Prescribed and Tolerance Emerges
Josef details common SSRI use like Lexapro, early benefit, later tolerance, dose increases, and polypharmacy harms.
Allie interviews Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a psychiatrist and former FDA drug safety officer. He unveils the truth about Big Pharma and the detrimental side effects of medications for mental illnesses. SSRIs cause more harm than good; they blunt emotions, breed dependency, and often backfire long-term. Dr. Witt-Doerring advises patients to pursue holistic health that includes a balanced diet, sleep, exercise, and therapy. He and his wife have started TaperClinic, where they help people come off medications and find real solutions to their problems. Join us for an eye-opening discussion about the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry.
