  • Resumen

  • On this episode, we hear from 24-year-old Marcello, who, prior to being severely injured by a prescribed antidepressant, was a healthy and happy college sophomore at The New School in New York City. Just days after starting the prescription, he suffered a catastrophic adverse reaction to the medication that led to akathisia, inappropriate polypharmacy, and years of suffering.

    [Marcello] The experience for the sufferer during all of this is nightmarish. It’s unbelievable because you know what’s happening. You know that there’s incredible injury and you also know that there’s likely no help.

    We also hear from Marcello's mother, Lisa, who has watched her son suffer the devastating effects of akathisia for more than two years.

    [Lisa] What it looks like from the outside is like a horror show. It’s unfathomable. You know, he’s a very normal looking, functioning young man and suddenly he’s rocking, grimacing, in torturous pain as though someone were torturing him. I know that people with akathisia use the word torture a great deal, and it’s apt.
