I Wanted To Share This :)

While looking for material to update The Madvocates twitter I came across RxISK. It is a new website (still in the Beta phase) that allows you to research side effects, side effect statistics, warnings and drug interactions on any prescription medication found in Canada and the USA (there will be overlap in other countries as well). It was inspired after the suicide of the creator’s son while on a stimulant prescribed by his doctor. At on point the website will allow you to report your side effects which can then be turned into a report to take to your healthcare provider!

I’m so happy this website exists because many side effects for psychiatric medication is ignored by doctors (at least in my experience) and many seem to want to believe that these drugs are doing nothing to our bodies, short term or long term, other than what they claim to do. Hopefully this website helps a lot of people!
