Report Adverse Drug Reactions
Report all instances of complaints and adverse psychotropic drug reactions to your national drug regulatory agency. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that probably only 1 to 10 percent of all adverse drug effects are being reported by patients and physicians. Only through the reporting of all adverse drug reactions (side effects) will the full risks of psychiatric drugs come to light. In the U.S., go direct to www.fda.gov/medwatch.
