‘Gun free’ military bases and dangerous psychiatric drugs: a lethal mixture
Posted on April 3, 2014

“2) Guns are only part of this story — and not the most important part. At some point, as uncomfortable as it may be, we need to seriously talk about psychiatric drugs.

This guy was reportedly on a ‘cocktail’ of drugs, including antidepressants and Ambien.

Please understand, when I say we need to ‘talk about psychiatric drugs,’ I don’t mean it in the same way that many people mean it. They want to talk about strategies to best ensure that we are shoving these pills down as many throats as possible. I, on the other hand, want to guide the conversation in the opposite direction.

The FDA has attached words and phrases like hostility, impulsivity, panic attacks, agitation, homicidal ideation, mania, violent behavior, and psychotic episodes to the list of side effects for numerous psychiatric medications.

Indeed, a thorough review of FDA data confirmed that there is an association between psychotropic pills and these kinds of “adverse events.”

It’s particularly notable that the shooter was evidently taking Ambien, seeing as how Ambien has been especially linked to “violent outbursts.” It’s even been successfully used as a defense in murder trials.”

All mass shooting murderers seem to be on anti-depressants.

The MSM love to tell us what gun shop the gun came from.

How about what pharmacy the pills came from?

Did he arrive in a GM vehicle?

How did he vote?

A lot of drugs have different effects for different people....

Take alcohol for instance....

Some people drink and become social and easy going and nice.

Some people drink and become morose and sad and depressed.

Some people drink and become violent angry and agitated....

What Hubris these people have who prescribe these drugs to overlook this is simple fact of life.

Drugs can affected different people differently....

Don't forget loose bowels and constipation, insomnia and drowsiness etc.
