Psychiatric side effects including restlessness, aggression, and delusion have been reported frequently. Hostility, decreased libido, paranoia, anorgasmia, confusional state, mania, catatonia, mood swings, panic attack, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, delirium, polydipsia psychogenic, impulse-control disorder, and major depression have been reported infrequently."
But other than that, it’s completely safe.
It’s not the meds, it’s the illness. My son in law’s brother is schizophrenic and refuses to take his meds. He is threatening to kill his mother because she had the father removed from life support on Saturday. He died early this morning and now they are looking into having the brother involuntarily committed, but that just isn’t that easy to do, even though nurses and social workers have witnessed his behavior.
The doctors say that the brother’s schizophrenia is the result of heavy early drug use, mostly just marijuana. The man is 52 years old now, 17 years older than my son-in-law.
When are we going to place the blame on the perp?

“With just one single exception, the attack on congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, every public shooting since at least 1950 in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed has taken place where citizens are not allowed to carry guns.”
My first thought was the University of Texas clock tower massacre in 1966.
I have a vivid recollection of a dozen frat boys pouring suppression fire on Charles Whitman with their hunting rifles.
The death toll was 13 dead, 32 wounded, and probably would have been much worse if Whitman had the time to carefully select and aim at his targets.
There are at least two exceptions.
Please see my Comment #26.
“There is an article posted here that says he was on Fanapt, a schizophrenia drug. I found it buried in the article and posted about it in the thread.”

Neither link mentioned fanapt when I tried to find it.
For later reading
U T was a gun free zone at the time, albeit being in Texas, many otherwising law abiding students ignored that. And probably saved many lives by doing so...
I’d like to know if the father gave a shit about this kid’s behavior.
>> When are we going to place the blame on the perp?
If the perp was a documented sociopath, then maybe the blame needs to be “redistributed”.
SSRI's given to the wrong person can be as potent as LSD. It's not boogieman junk science it's stone cold fact. I've seen it happen to my wife. Her life was a living hell for 5 days. The doctors did not PDR the SSRI's for adverse reaction. That reaction has a clinical name of Serotonin Syndrome. I am also among the group of people who can not take antidepressants.
The media screams blood murder about Benzo class medications like Valium, Xanax, etc. I doubt there has been one mass shooter on Benzo's alone. Doctors use SSRI's to treat anxiety. The problem is anxiety can simply be a secondary condition caused by neurological damage. Unless a doctor does an extensive medical history such anxiety causing issues as Vestibular and Optical Sensory Processing Disorders can go undetected. SSRI's do two things to such patients. The bring on more anxiety by bombarding the damaged sensory processing system with more sensory impulses. Patients with these type of issues are more prone to Serotonin Syndrome.
If you mention the term Serotonin Syndrome to most doctors they will say whats that? I told my wifes doctor {house doctor not our own} she had it and showed him the alert written by HIS Hospitals Pharmacology Professor. He told me that it was pure rubbish at first till I said do you know the person who wrote it then? This was at a university hospital.
Six doctors and two shrinks did not know what they were seeing. Yet SSRI's are given out like candy even to teens. In the meantime the media goes bonkers after Benzo usage because some Hollywood Morons booze up and do Benzo's and end up dead. Well Duh!
My wifes used Xanax daily for 27 years and I have for over 17 years safely and effectivly. Proper dosage and consistent in blood stream dosage means everything. The fact she was taking Xanax while taking Zoloft likely saved her life as Benzo's are the protocol drugs used to stop Serotonin Syndrome. It takes weeks for antidepressants to leave the bloodstream just as it takes weeks to build up but at any point in that time and after Serotonin Migration from stomach to brain can occur. Benzo's bloodstream life where it can have any effect is 12 hours tops closer to 8.
I don't discount or scoff at the good antidepressants do for many patients. However the general widespread ignorance of the potential adverse reactions by those in the medical field even mental health is astounding and down right frightening.
My wife is a quadriplegic with fair use of her arms and hands. She thrashed and literally beat herself black and blue while it happened. Even after taking her off all Meds and having her return too normal mental state and then again giving her Zoloft and it started up again in an hours time they still didn't catch on.
Reportedly the father “went the second mile” when agreeing to his divorce settlement . . . and is now remarried. But the two boys found the divorce very painful. Who knows why the divorce went down? That doesn’t seem to arouse any interest in journalists. Not like the guy was running against Obama, or anything like that . . .
Re-read your post.....it IS the MEDS....the ones they prescribe today and the ones the kills got illegally!!
Another contributor to the high body counts is the insane policy of school lockdowns.
Lockdowns are reasonable if the threat is outside the building and the chance of entering using force is minimal.
However, once inside the building, a lockdown just creates a barrel full of fish waiting to be executed.
We have seen this over and over and over again, but school security does not change lockdowns to escape.

Wow, that has been pulled too.
I saved the Sun UK page I linked you to in the other thread. FReepmail me an email if you want it, and I’ll zip it up and email it to you, if you like.
As of right now, if you Google Jonathan Lanza, it still shows the Sun article that has been pulled.
OH?

I think the media and its 24-7 coverage of such things gives potential mass murderers that they will achieve some sort of sick fame as a result of their actions. Time for the media to quit the 24-7 breast-beating coverage.
