TRAZADONE: 13 Dead in Washington DC Naval Yard Shooting
The New York Times released the fact that over the past month Aaron Alexis has been on the antidepressant, Trazadone, to treat insomnia. ( quotes below.) Of course I am not finished asking questions. I want to know what he was on before this that may have induced his serious problems with insomnia. Was that yet another antidepressant? Was he in withdrawal from an antidepressant before the Trazadone which causes terrible insomnia? How many times had he been on and off an antidepressant? Considering the way the military hands them out like candy and stops them abruptly ... the options are endless. Considering also that he had plenty of the drug he could have attempted to overdose the night before in an impulsive suicide attempt. That can also be the case when it turns into a shooting like this because the brain toxicity seems to hit before the toxicity that would bring death.
"On Aug. 23, Mr. Alexis went to Veterans Affairs hospitals in Providence, where he had been working as a contractor, complaining of insomnia but did not say that he was hearing voices, according to a federal official. Mr. Alexis said he could not sleep for more than a few hours. Doctors there prescribed...(Click link below to continue reading)

A lot of this would be tailoring the medication to the appropriate subset of patients. Depressions are like fevers. There are many reasons and not all the appropriate treatments are the same. General physicians might not have the ability or the patience (spelled with a ce) to discern who would best benefit, so might be tempted to just toss the Medicine Of The Week at Mrs. Gloomily and tell her to come back in two months. And as the approach of Obamacare (unless halted) further curtails physician to patient relationships, this can only get worse.
Indeed.
if he was able to get access to several Shrinks. he could have been taking all manner of drugs many of which would not “mix” at all well with alcohol.
Pandoras Pill Box must not be taken lightly
Regarding duloxetine (aka Cymbalta), I was always under the impression its appearance on the market was only due to the patent expiration of Prozac, and that the whole “pain relieving” aspect was just a new angle for marketing purposes.
It is the Holy Grail of psychopharmacology to divine the proper class of psychoactive drug for each patient ahead of time or even type of therapy drug-based or not. Lots of work across different disciplines going on toward that goal.
Well, it is an SNRI. Sure, patent expirations are a motivator for drug R&D.
I agree, many patients say the pain relieving aspect doesn’t work so well.
It’s called demon possession...and the drugs magnify their power over time.
So there’s a synergistic effect between demon possession and certain drugs? Has then been studied?
Even without a perfect means, even a rough approximation might help doctors give better care to patients. I don’t think bio-markers will tell the whole story. The compleat physician has a spiritual and psychological side. Sometimes, to put it bluntly, the best cure is Jesus, ministered in a custom manner to a patient.
It is maddening that there is no rhyme or reason behind which antidepressant works for who, if any. It almost feels like they are all placebo. You’ll have someone try one after another, and then get a new boyfriend, and the random drug they were on at the time is “the one that fixed everything”. I need black and white, cause and effect type evidence. Until then, I have no recommendation. Try the cheap one.
Such a study, assuming the biblical definition of demon is accepted, would need Judeo-Christian involvement to make sense, and moral/ethical issues arise at once... do you give a placebo to someone who seems to be suffering from a demon possession, for the sake of disinterested science? And can you even DO disinterested science in the presence of entities that transcend science, that have a vested interest in what resulting scientific papers would even say?
However, the bible New Testament does speak of a practice of using drugs to underpin occult spiritual contact. It’s a word, pharmakia, from which our modern word pharmacy has been derived for the beneficial use of the drugs. But it’s generally rendered in translation as “sorcery” which doesn’t quite do it justice either (some might think of witches and warlocks waving magic wands and chanting spells, and drugs not even entering the picture). It’s a special kind of sorcery.
<< We need to look into what code words or dog-whistles Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm) has been using to set off these homicidal maniacs. >>
Look for whoever they’re talking to in their online gaming. Anonymous avatars, the perfect cover.
It is given to peple with poor sleep in doses from 25 mg to up to 200 mg.
Trazadone is not a medication that causes Psychiatric issues.
Hadn’t considered several shrinks. For some stuff, you don’t even need a shrink.
75-yr-old neighbor was carted off to the psych ward kicking and screaming. Twice. She was, apparently, mixing bipolar meds with a cute little narcolepsy drug called Provigil. Her prescription cost her nothing, but Medicare was paying full retail, I think. $6,000. For 300 provigil tabs, take 3xday. Every 100 days, Medicare gets billed another $6,000, for this woman and a million others.
I actually called the drug unit at the police force, but that stuff is not a “controlled substance,” so they could care less.
If the woman had owned a gun, nothing would have stopped her from shooting up the place. Really scary.
Mix two potent meds with old age and weird things can happen. Well that’s one of the less-controlled medications. It’s probably better for the doctors than the police to be involved with this one anyhow. She’s not selling the drugs so police shouldn’t care. Not everything of concern needs the panoply of gummit. That is a quintessentially lefty idea.
Actually, she WAS trying to sell me those drugs. And also, told me where I could go to resell them to a pharmacist who would pay 50 cents on the dollar, cash. I passed that info on to the police, but even that wasn’t very interesting to them.
They don’t even care if you deal illegal drugs in this town. If you’re cooking meth, they’ll come and arrest you, but selling and using don’t interest them at all.
So, back to the DC shooter, no end to the stuff he could have been putting into his system, legal and illegal.
Well that, which I didn’t see at first, would of course make it a different story. It looked at first like a “old lady misuses prescribed drugs privately” story. Misleading. If this is banned by law then it would seem logical that she has violated the ban. Maybe the local cops are also buying some from her, when the coffee at the donut shop isn’t enough to stave off their boredom... just a speculation.
Where are you in Washington State that LE is so laissez-faire about drug dealing (don't answer if you'd prefer to not). Here, in the Tri-Cities and Yakima Valley the Drug Task Forces are all over everybody.
Retail on THIRTY tabs of Provigil is at least $1000. She was getting a good deal for you and me. I’m glad to know someone is being responsible with our tax dollars.
This almost suggests “cops are her customers.” Who might even be selling to yet others... why kill their golden goose. Maybe FBI if it cared would be next level of concern.
I cant imagine all the possibilities...
Prescribed and over the counter? another pandoras pill box waiting to explode
