What I do think is that one or more alphabet agencies see the records of usage and select their zombies based on medical reports. It is just vaguely possible that they are influencing and encouraging physicians to prescribe them. |

Back in the 12/13 century a followers of a breakaway religious sect were given hashish before they were directed to go and kill their detractors- they became known as 'Hashishins', which later became 'assassin'. It was said they had no recollection of the acts they'd committed. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7570540 What ignorant drivel. Where do you think the "emotional" problems start? If it's in our genes to be "depressed" or "insane", then clearly we have failed ourselves as a species; psychiatric and "folk" advice on how to deal with these problems is flatly insufficient if not actively damaging. If it's not an intrinsic human principle to be depressed, well... common sense says it isn't the victim's fault. I've got a question for everyone: why does the FDA and medical industry continue to produce antidepressants that are demonstrably of no benefit, meanwhike the tried and true antidepressants remain illegal? |
| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 10809107 12/17/2012 07:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reports of unusual, severe reactions with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant drugs (SSRIs) emerged soon after the first SSRI, Prozac, was introduced in 1988. One of my own patients, a woman with a mild depressive disorder and no history of major psychiatric symptoms, became psychotic after just three days on Prozac. Another woman, a highly successful attorney, developed such severe panic attacks that she couldn't work. Such cases were reported so frequently that Congress held hearings on the issue in the early 1990s. But because the hearings got no further than arguing whether SSRIs cause suicidal and homicidal behavior or not, and never looked at the underlying causes, nothing was accomplished. I have never doubted that SSRIs (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Luvox, Effexor, Sarafem) can provoke impulsive, violent behavior. Now, sixteen years after the first reports, British regulatory authorities have acted against the use of SSRIs in children because of an increased incidence of suicide. This forced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to take a second look. In early February 2004, a FDA advisory committee heard powerful testimony from bereaved parents and medical experts and issued a call for stronger warnings on the labels of these drugs. The FDA is considering it. Even if the FDA acts, will such warnings make any difference? Not likely. As the FDA has learned, adding warnings to package inserts does little to improve how doctors prescribe drugs.1-3 Doctors kept prescribing Rezulin and Seldane inappropriately despite added warnings, and patients continued dying until the drugs were withdrawn. About 20% of all medications ultimately require additional "black-box" warnings about dangerous side effects discovered after the drugs' approvals,1 yet despite these additional warnings, doctors' prescribing methods remain poor and the incidence of medication-caused hospitalizations and deaths remains high. Merely adding warnings to package inserts is inadequate because once doctors begin prescribing a drug, they don't read every updated package insert of every drug they use. Doing so would take hours, and package inserts are long and written in tiny, barely readable script, so new warnings are easily overlooked. Moreover, it usually takes years for such warnings to be added to package inserts, during which time doctors continue prescribing the drugs to millions of people. The fact is, most doctors rely on information provided by the drug companies' legions of sales representatives who accentuate the positive and downplay the negative. What should be done? The answer is obvious: look at why these reactions are occurring and impose appropriate solutions. |

The syndrome is characterized by apathy, disinhibited behavior, demotivation and a personality change similar to the effects of lobotomy (Marangell et al. 2001, p.1059). All psychoactive drugs, including antidepressants, are known to blunt our emotional responses to some extent. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10809107 I agree if that means stripping the SSRIs of their indications until proper use/prescription patterns can be determined. I can't help but notice that suicide, psychosis etc would not be an issue if opioid drugs were employed, especially in refractory MDD and anxiety disorders. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 10809107 12/17/2012 07:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Andrea Yates drowned all of her five children in her bathtub one day. She was taking two SSRI antidepressants, at maximum dosages, in addition to the antipsychotic haloperidol (Haldol). There had been an adjustment in the medication two days before this tragedy happened. That adjustment alone was enough to cause this tragedy, bearing in mind that the most dangerous times by far during SSRI drug "therapy" occur when starting, stopping or changing the dosage of these drugs. Andrea Yates' mother and brothers asked prosecutors to file criminal charges of negligence against a psychiatrist who treated the Houston homemaker in the weeks before she drowned her children. Yates' relatives say Dr. Mohammad Saeed, a psychiatrist at the Devereux Texas Treatment Network in a Houston suburb, improperly medicated her with strong psychotropic drugs that are known to cause mania, anxiety, impaired judgment, agitation and aggressive reaction. "We feel that our family would still be whole today if it were not for Dr. Saeed's terrible misconduct," Yates' relatives wrote to Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal. But while Dr. Saeed may or may not have been negligent and/or incompetent, he did not invent these extremely dangerous drugs, which were known in the earliest clinical research trials to be highly capable of inducing akathisia (extreme anxiety), leading to suicidal and homicidal thoughts and behavior in many patients. |
