Actually I did make my case. We expect the people on anti-psychotic medication to be insane, therefore when they do insane things it shouldn’t be a surprise or blamed on the medication. Anybody that knows anything about psychiatric medication knows finding the right dosage and the right combination is a drawn out process, it often lasts their entire life. This is because you’re trying to fight genetic tendencies with chemical which is upstream swimming at the best of times, and they’ve learned the body fights back. Some people’s biochemistry just really wants to be jacked up. Then you have the natural human tendency of deciding they feel better so they stop taking their medicine. You see this most with anti-biotics but it’s just as true with psychiatric meds. So yes some people under treatment will still go out of control, which doesn’t mean the treatment is invalid, it just means that some people will always find a crack to slip through.
Meanwhile, none of that has anything to do with ADHD and ritalin.
Obviously, you are in this business, and I stress business. This is a pill pushing racket. If you’re prescribing psychotropic drugs to children who are just being children, beware the legal consequences down the road. It could come back to bite you.
