It might be helpful if other people on this forum read this article and fill out the form at the bottom to contact the author, Farhad Manjoo, and inform him about their experiences with PSSD. The author writes about how the FDA has failed to properly regulate the pharmaceutical industry.

I am not sure the issue is regulating the pharmaceutical industry. I would say it is more about better tracking long term effects.

I know that the main point of his article is that drugs get approved too quickly in the US compared to the past and compared to Europe. But we could still reach out to him and see if he’ll write a follow up article about the FDA failing to track long-term effects or forcing the pharmaceutical companies to do this and adding timely warnings. The European Medicines Agency has already recognized PSSD, although they did so too late and the required warning is too weak. The journalist who wrote the article should be sympathetic because he already is convinced that the FDA is failing to do its job properly.
