Derek (36), of Linfield Street, Dundee, was addicted to the drug for almost five years and believes he has suffered permanent psychological damage by the treatment.
As a result of allegedly poor guidelines from the drugs regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Derek was prescribed up to three-times the recommended dose for many years.
When he tried to come off it he suffered panic attacks and nightmares, and the strain resulted in an attempt to take his own life.
Since then, with the help of a cocktail of other anti-depressants and psychiatric treatment, he has been working for a ban on the drug he is convinced has ruined his life
