Have you ever experienced brain fog, strange moods, or suicidal thinking while on a prescription medication?
Do you wonder if your doctor gave you all the necessary warnings about the mental effects of what has been prescribed?
Do you sometimes think you might not need to be on all those drugs?
Chances are you have not been given the opportunity for informed consent because you were not told what is really known (and not known) about what the drug is doing in the body and brain, its possible side mental effects, what's known and not known about its safety, and the actual evidence regarding how well it works (or not).
Any drug that causes changes in mind, mood, emotion, or behavior is, by definition, a psychotropic agent, regardless of whether it is prescribed in a psychiatric setting. Psychiatric drugs have the potential to cause the very things they claim to treat, or worse. Even common, non-psychiatric medications can have profound mental effects.
In today's assembly line health care with 10-minute office visits, often with only a non-physician assistant or nurse, the quick fix of dispensing a prescription almost never includes a thorough discussion of the factors you would really need to make a well-considered decision about accepting a drug. This user-friendly no-nonsense guide empowers the health care consumer with the basics in order to make informed decisions about psychiatric drugs and other meds with unsuspected mind-bending effects.
Dr. Dolan is passionate about patient empowerment and believes being an informed consumer is the only protection against becoming a victim of your medications.

Overall, I feel that this book gives a very biased opinion on medications used to treat psychiatric symptoms. I found that the tone of the book was overwhelmingly negative in regards to the author’s personal feelings about the use of medications. As a consumer, one would feel ashamed of their need to use a medication for psychiatric illness after consulting this book. This does little to help cure the stigma attached to mental illness. If you’re looking for an unbiased book related to your options utilizing medications for the treatment for psychiatric symptoms, please look elsewhere. This book doesn’t provide a good balance between educating you on your options, and informing you of potential side effects. Rather, after reading this, you’d be hesitant to try any medication and continue to struggle with symptoms unnecessarily. As I said, please look elsewhere to obtain unbiased education on your options for medications. #mentalhealthmatters #curestigma
Moira Dolan’s inaugural book, No-Nonsense Guide to Psychiatric Drugs, the first in her ‘No-Nonsense Guide series of Kindle books, truly highlights her fierce and passionate patient advocacy. An intense and outspoken and very competent physician. Dr. Dolan outlines the history of psychiatry, featuring the lack of ‘hard’ science in its development, and the acknowledged lack of known or demonstrated mechanisms of actions. Addressing a diverse group of chemicals from different drug groups, now classified by intended action, those drugs commonly prescribed for ‘psychiatric conditions’, often new diseases proclaimed in recent DSM IV and V, have limited efficacy, and significant risks. My first impression on reading is that the patient will be too scared to take the drugs! My second impression is, that it good. Dr. Dolan emphasizes the need for patients to be ‘informed’ and to ‘consent’ to the risks; it is their decision, and it is most likely not being emphasized by practitioners. An additional concern that I have is that most psychiatric drugs are now prescribed by non-psychiatrist physicians, and also by mid-level practitioners, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners, who collectively have substantially less training and experience in diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders. This latter group of non-psychiatrists are probably more influenced by PHARMA as well. This influence contributes to an over-prescribing of this class of drugs.The ‘scare’ notwithstanding, I recommend any patient or family read Dr. Dolan’s psychiatric drug book to fully appreciate the risks, and recognize the signs and symptoms of toxicity if they do occur.I do believe that psychiatric drugs do have the potential to benefit certain patients, but the patients themselves have to be informed of the risks before they are exposed to the drugs.James T. O’Donnell PharmD MS FCP Associate Professor-Department of Pharmacology Rush Medical College -Rush University Medical Center Chicago, ILjim@pharmaconsultantinc.com
I did not find this book helpful for quick & unbiased information on psychiatric drugs.
Oh, where do I even begin with this book. I will start by saying only the very uneducated person would believe this to be an informative and factual book. I have been in the field of psychiatry for 20 years and couldn't believe the amount of mistakes in this book. This author describes Effexor (an anti-depressant drug) as being "a true brain-scrambler". That it has similarities to the street drug PCP or angel dust. This is so false. This drug had been around since the 90s and millions of people are still on this drug with no problems. I'm surprised the author is a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are meant to help people with mental illness. This author/psychiatrist uses scare tactics to basically make people feel every one of these psychiatric drugs will damage you in a negative way or kill you. There is nothing positive in her book. I don't know which is worse, her description of the mental disorders or her over exaggeration of the adverse events of the psychiatric medications. What I want to say to the author is...which is worse, having people take a drug that causes somnolence or having a bipolar raging manic patient harm others or themselves. Much of the problem of today's society is the fear and stigma of mental illness and therefore these patients are not seeking the help they deserve and need. This author basically makes you rethink being on medication. That everything you put in your mouth is harmful, and that couldn't be further from the truth. We all know what happened to Andrea Yates when she didn't take her antipsychotic medication...she killed her 5 innocent children. To me, that is a true tragedy. Psych patients, unmedicated, could do horrible things. In addition, the author spells the generic names of drugs incorrectly. (Google the generic names and you will see she was wrong in her spelling) She also states that some of these drugs are basically a chemical restraint. Well, I hate to break it to you Dr Dolan, if someone is coming at you in an angry agitated bipolar state or an autistic patient is banging their head against a wall, you better believe the person in the room wth them will be begging for that "chemical restraint". All the way around this book is full of misinformation, her exaggerated account of medication side effects and her biased views on psychiatry. If you want a really informative book get Dr Stephen Stahl's books. A much more real and informative view of psychiatric disorders and medications.
This is an extremely interesting booklet written by an obviously very intelligent M.D. who takes the time to ferret out the truth; too rare of a commodity these days! Anyone who is or knows someone who is on or considering taking any of these drugs should read this material - that pretty much covers everyone! S.T. Masters of Public Health
Pretty much an anti-medication book. I understand that medications have side effects and that there are alternatives. But I was expecting the book to provide guidance on how to select medications as opposed to just bashing their use.
