OK I’ll back off...
I am not an expert pharmacist - but ‘supposedly’ all the shootings had some psychotropic medication in common.
Do you deny it?
It really doesn’t matter if they are on or off the drugs... The fact remains that these are troubled individuals — or they wouldn’t have been on the medications in the first place. That is the point I’m trying to make. It’s not unusual to hear that these people have been on meds because the people who would commit these kinds of violent acts are usually deeply disturbed, and have serious mental illnesses to begin with... That’s the point I’m trying to make in all of this. If it were truly JUST the medication then these incidents would be WAY more common... As it turns out the shooter has apparently been on medication in the past, but according to some of his posts that were JUST uncovered he was no longer on those medications and was refusing all help offered to him... And, in reading his words it seems like there was no small number of people reaching out to him and offering him that help...
I deny it. Didn't happen. The kid in Omaha apparently wasn't on meds. From the postings on ezboard, it doesn't look like Matthew Murray was taking medicine with any regularity.
The SSRIs don't have a super long half-life, which just means that if you stop taking them, you stop getting the effect of the drug. It's a convenient boogeyman when it's more likely that it's evil at the heart of the matter.
