Mum's entire body shakes violently 'after coming off anti-depressants too fast'

Sharron Hudson shared a video showing her symptoms to raise awareness of withdrawal sufferers

‘The risks are not out there for people to talk about and you’re not warned before you start taking them.‘I feel like withdrawal sufferers are an ignored community. You are left with despair, a lack of understanding and a lack of information.The mother-of-three’s comments come after campaigners and psychologists met with top medical officials in the hopes of introducing tapering medication strips on the NHS.

However, Britons currently have to purchase them online at a cost of around £60 a month from European sellers, which many fear will not be available after Brexit trade deals are agreed. ‘GPs are highly-trained to prescribe based on the unique circumstances of individual patients, and we prescribe anti-depressants if we think it is in the best interests of a patient’s health, and following a conversation about the risks and benefits of taking the medication,’ said the professor.

‘The general public are not aware you need to come off them slowly,’ said the father-of-one. ‘Doctors lack the guidance and expertise to help someone who has come to the end of treatment and wishes to stop safely. [The strips] put people back in control – it’s liberating.’ The board has written to Health Secretary Matt Hancock asking to implement a trial use of the strips in GP surgeries and psychiatric clinics.

However, many like Sharron, were unaware of the strips and say they have greatly suffered after withdrawing too quickly.The mother was prescribed sertraline, part of a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors , after suffering a series of traumas. After seeing others complain online of stomach upset while on sertraline, she decided to stop taking it having read that withdrawal symptoms shouldn’t last long.

Sharron said doctors’ dismissal to link her symptoms with withdrawal has made it yet more difficult to cope.
