“That night, the coroner got on the phone with me and asked if Woody was taking any medication. And the only medication he was on was Zoloft.” Kim Witczak lost her husband Woody to suicide over 20 years ago. Witczak, like so many others who saw the happy-go-lucky ad campaigns and received casual prescriptions from their family doctors, had no idea that antidepressants like Zoloft increased the risk of suicide. Too often, doctors have one mode: prescribe, prescribe, prescribe. Kim later tried going to a suicide support group, sharing how she believed it was the drug that killed him. "I went once, and I never went back ... no one would listen to me." She later found it the group was funded by pharnaceutical companies. Watch "SICK" today to learn all the ways advocacy groups, hospitals, and even your doctor may have been compromised by Big Medicine. |
