We're getting wrapped around the axle concerning Breggin. My particular interest is adverse drug effects. Prozac and other serotonin selective re-uptake inhibitors(SSRI) appear to cause suicide and homicide in a certain subset of patients, especially in the time period after treatment has been initiated, the first few weeks, or the dosage increased.

The FDA has just required a black box warning on all prescriptions of SSRIs because of its tendency to cause suicidal ideation.

The SSRIs are potent enough that when various adverse effects become intolerable in some folks they are switched to Prozac, because of its longer half-life, as they are gradually weaned off of them in order to avoid withdrawal or discontinuation syndrome.

Okay Neverdem I want to get off this thread. I can't change your perception but I do want to leave you with this thought.

Many news articles that you have read and will continue to read which include adverse information about psychotropic medication are very likely based in whole or in part on daily press releases from the Church of Scientology or its sub-groups such as CCHR and others.

It is extremely difficult for most to discern from a simple news article the level of Scientology slant.

Many people can't detect that a news article has been tainted by a lazy reporter relying on so-called fact sheets and press releases which were written and published by Scientology's "medical experts" and cultees.

The quoted so-called "medical experts" are likely to be Scientologists and Scientology CCHR Board Members Dr. Mary Ann Block, D.O., Dr. Peter Breggin and others writing the releases according to Church of Scientology principles, not according to scientific research.

Enough. :)

I wish you well.
