Their bumper stickers (with the trademarked tag line: Unsafe At Any Dose) really say it all, eh? Help warn the world about the dangers these drugs pose by displaying one of these eye-catching bumper stickers — which they will send to you absolutely FREE. You don't even have to pay for postage!

Simply email them at [email protected] and tell them which FREE bumper sticker you want: Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor or Prozac. (Limit one bumper sticker per physical address shipped.) Be sure to include your name, complete mailing address including city, state and zip. Your privacy means everything to them … so they do not keep a record of any personal information; nor will we contact or solicit you in the future for any reason. But feel free to contact them.
 
I think this ad campaign fails to recognize all the cases in which SSRIs have proven to be helpful. A more adequate approach is to encourage the prescription with mandatory supervison from a trained professional (doctor or psychiatrist). Just saying that these drugs are outright dangerous because of known side-effects is pointless. In that case you would have to follow a similar approach against any drug, food and even water - yes, people have died because they had too much water (it causes an fatal ion imbalance in your body).
 
im a pharmacist and yes that is the most ignorant campaign i have ever seen.
 
I agree totally. They're throwing out the baby with the bathwater!

What a GREAT! idea

I am a practicing psychiatrist and what this gentleman has done is nothing sort of brilliant. These drugs ARE "unsafe at any dose." Go to their web site and READ "the dangers of SSRIs.

I have ordered one of his free stickers and you should too.

Do I still prescribe these drugs? Yes, but very judiciously, while at the same time I make sure my patients know what ALL of the risks are associated with their use.
