Generation RX trailer

Monday, July 27th, 2009

released 2008

Kevin P. Miller
Director/Producer

In the 1990s, Kevin P. Miller began producing documentaries about the great social issues of our time. His film The Promised Land both won international accolades and helped raise $500,000 in donations to benefit the homeless, proving to Miller that documentary films could affect social change. He went on to produce The War Within, a film about race relations and Let Truth Be The Bias, which tackled the loss of civil liberties and featued a guns-drawn raid at the clinic of a revered holistic doctor. In 2005, Miller produced We Become Silent, a film about Codex Alimentarius and “free trade,” which was narrated by British actress Dame Judi Dench.

With his new film, Generation RX, Miller investigates collusion between pharmaceutical manufacturers and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA, and also questions whether we have forced millions of children onto pharmaceutical drugs for commercial rather than scientific reasons. “It began when I saw a video of people testifying before the FDA in 1991 about Prozac,” he said. “I was so moved by their personal stories, moved to tears, really. But apparently the FDA was not. It was then that I knew that someday I would produce a film like Generation RX.”

No need to fear antidepressants if patients, doctors team up on diagnosis, treatment

“Is the antidepressant I’m taking safe?” I am hearing this question from my patients more and more. The reason? The media has recently reported that among antidepressant users, some develop increased feelings of hostility or anxiety, and have even committed sudden acts of violence against others.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has investigated the side-effects of antidepressants and has decided to revise the warnings on the medication, stating, “There are cases where we cannot rule out a causal relationship with the medication.”

When patients taking antidepressants hear news like this, it’s little wonder they feel uneasy and think things like, “I guess there are some harsh side-effects,” or, “Will I end up like that, too?”

However, the fact is that the overwhelming majority of those taking antidepressants for depression are recovering. Should people arbitrarily decide without sufficient data that antidepressants are unsafe, there is a real danger that those in need will stop treatment.
