Male enhancement drugs may have caused psychosis in missing N.J. student, report says

TEANECK, NJ — The former Ivy League student who vanished in December lost touch with reality after an addiction to energy supplements and penis enlargement pills, Timothy Hamlett's family tells The Daily Beast.

The family believes supplements like Pygeum, Ginseng Panax, Vitalikor Male Enhancement, Big Jim and the Twins Penis Enlargement were responsible for the 20-year-old developing psychosis shortly before his disappearance.

Hamlett, a former track star at the University of Pennsylvania, hopped a jitney near his Teaneck home into Washington Heights in Manhattan on Dec. 26. It's the last time he's been seen or heard from.

"Our son did not experience any issues until he started taking these supplements," mother Katherine Hamlett told the publication, noting the addiction began in Sept. 2013. "And people look at us cross-eyed and I know there's a lot of skepticism. But if you look at the history he goes all the way through school--no issues whatsoever and then he starts taking these supplements and everything in his life, literally everything in his life changes."

The Hamletts removed their son from school after he began showing signs of what they thought could be schizophrenia, they told The Daily Beast. Experts told the site that it was inconclusive if the stimulants Hamlett had taken could have caused psychosis.

I've always suspected these drugs were dangerous.

Whats to stop them from sending your blood somewhere else?

I read the article and thought, “Good grief.” Then, I read your comment and thought, “GOOD GRIEF.” It sure clears things up about Biden. LOL. Thanks for the laugh.

...supplements like Pygeum, Ginseng Panax, Vitalikor Male Enhancement, Big Jim and the Twins Penis Enlargement...

Oh, don't be silly, those things don't work at all.



Uh...



Or so I've been told...

Sad that he’s not been found. I can’t imagine the hell his parents are going through. Like you, I thought 20? He was using all those supplements at 20?

Schizophrenia must be what happens when you have an erection lasting more than four hours.

The late teens and very early twenties are most commonly when schizophrenia manifests itself. His taking supplements is likely a coincidence.

I believe Inspector Harry Callahan once had a similar case... The guy that wasn’t collecting for the Red Cross.

I've always suspected these drugs were dangerous.

But Vicodin, Oxycontin, & Acetominophen are safe!

Stimulants are uppers.

You do enough and your brain goes off kilter.

Probably was small. Then got laughed at by all the girls at school or was afraid to have sex in the first place.

Very traumatic, even without any drugs.
