Please donate - via the button on the left of screen, to help us continue our work. Any amount, however small will be appreciated. No one in APRIL is paid a salary! but we have much more to do in areas including: Suicide prevention, improvement of medical educatio, withdrawal support for involuntary addicts of benzodiazepine, SSRIs, some pain killers and other medication, persuading coroners & the police to evaluate medical (iatrogenic) causes of sudden death & suicide,  reducing polypharmacy due to unrecognised ADRs (Adverse drug reactions). 

• We have successfully instigated inclusion of adverse reactions and withdrawal effects in Suicide Prevention Strategies in England. The inclusion of depression as a side-effect of Dianette (Diane-35) being included on the patient information. We have increased the level of patient reporting to the regulator. We are supporting efforts to include pharmacology back into the medical curriculum.

• The work must go on, as we are the only charity creating awareness of psychiatric adverse reactions (ADRs) to all kinds of medication & anaesthetics.
