On August 6, 2003, Kim Witczak’s life was shattered when her husband, Woody, died unexpectedly at just 37 years old, shortly after being prescribed Zoloft. In this conversation, Kim takes us through her relentless journey to uncover the unknown risks and side effects of SSRIs and her mission to hold Big Pharma accountable.
As a Consumer Representative on the FDA Psychopharmacologic Advisory Committee, Kim has spent years pushing for greater transparency, educating healthcare providers, and advocating for better regulations. Her personal story and expert insights serve as a wake-up call for anyone using or considering antidepressants—and as a call to action for reform in the way prescription drugs are regulated and marketed.
