Another Mass Shooting, Another Psychiatric Drug—27 Drug Warnings and 1,531 Cases of Drug-Induced Homicidal Ideation Back Need for Federal Investigation:

Twenty-seven drug regulatory agency warnings cite psychiatric drug side effects of mania, psychosis, violence and homicidal ideation;

1,531 cases of psychiatric drug induced homicide/homicidal ideation have been reported to the US FDA;

65 high profile cases of mass shootings/murder have been committed by individuals under the influence of these drugs, yet there has never been a federal investigation into the link between seemingly senseless acts of violence and the use of mind-altering psychotropic drugs.

The fact is psychiatric drugs are documented by 27 international drug regulatory agency warnings and 16 published medical studies to cause side effects including mania, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation.

And while not everyone taking the drug will experience these particular side effects, what the warnings prove is that a percentage of the population will.

Furthermore according to the FDA’s MedWatch reporting system for drug side effects, over a 10-year period, the FDA received 1,531 cases of homicidal ideation/homicide attributed to psychiatric drugs, 40% of which were reported by medical professionals.

The FDA admits that only 1-10% of drug side effects are ever reported to MedWatch....

While there is never one simple explanation for what drives a human being to commit such unspeakable acts of senseless violence, one common denominator has surfaced in a percentage of cases—prescribed psychiatric drugs which are documented to cause mania, psychosis, violence, suicide and in some cases, homicidal ideation.

It is long past time that government healthcare agencies launch an investigation....None can argue against the fact that disclosure would serve the public interest. Except those with a vested interest in keeping the public in the dark.

According to Wikipedia: “The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR) is a nonprofit organization established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Its stated mission is to “eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections.” Many critics regard it as a Scientology front group whose purpose is to push the organization’s anti-psychiatric agenda. Their track record varies wildly between truthful & factual to “red herrings.”

I had a neurologist try to push Celexa on me a few years ago. I went to him for a nerve condition, a physical one, not a mental one and he told me I “could be depressed and not know it”. I told him that I could also be “not be depressed and know that, too”. He never wrapped his head around the fact that I was refusing, I guess, because he called me two weeks later and asked how the antidepressant was working. I said, “I told you that I wasn’t going to take a mind altering drug.” He argued with me that it wasn’t mind altering and said that I really, really needed to be on it. What a filthy, drug pushing quack. I found a real doctor and the nerve issues are resolved.

My elderly, but fully cognizant, mother in law was put on Lexapro for something other than depression. She nearly went out of her mind. Her kids no longer recognized her behavior. She had violent shakes and cried all the time and said she just couldn’t live like that, which was scary to hear such a vibrant woman say. Her kids stepped in and had her weaned off of the drug. She told me that it was nearly 2 years before she felt normal with no tremor flashbacks. She’s back to her old, cheerful self again, thankfully.

My dad lost a good friend a few weeks after he started on an antidepressant. His wife said he became withdrawn and had a complete personality change. He shot himself and my dad said that he was absolutely NOT the suicidal type. He was completely under the influence of that drug.

SSRI’s and other similar psychotropic meds are VERY DANGEROUS chemicals and doctors are encouraged to give them out like candy before fully screening a patient for other potential treatment. An antidepressant should not be the go-to drug. For some people, they are literally a poison. They should be a last resort and require careful and frequent monitoring. Family members should be well educated on what to look for and to stay in touch with the doctor about all side effects.

Thank you for the post. I have done quite a bit of reading on the issue. The more I read, the bigger I realize the problem is. The Pharm industry did not include any warnings in the beginning, but was allowed to get by in USA. Germany would not ok without warnings.

I just finished reading a legal brief, and there it noted that one reason for this was an inability to metabolize the drug. Suggested a compatibility test before prescribing it. Wouldn’t it be awful if it was that simple, but no one ever looked into it sufficiently before?

I just naturally shy away from Rx. What I’ve read makes me glad of that.

[greeneyes]

I am quite familiar with MK Ultra. There was a congressional hearing on that program back in the 70s, IIRC. The Unabomber was but one of the victims of this program.

I sincerely doubt that they really quit their experiments, more likely just renamed it and kept on trucking. So heck yeh, I think that it should be investigated-but whoever does it better have top notch security until the results are published.

Thanks for the post.

Trump started down the right path, after the slaughtering; investigate pharmacia, not guns.

[UCANSEE2]

The simple answer is that the Ruling Elite need CHAOS and CRISIS to instill a regime change in the US.

[greeneyes]

Yes, it is true that these meds are powerful and it is well known that just quitting those meds also cause problems-they need to be weaned off carefully.

However, I think that you should also be open minded. I am not talking about people who are bipolar and schizophrenic. My niece was married to a bipolar person who used to have a problem staying on his meds. That is NOT the problem I’m reading about or writing about.

The cases I’ve been reading about are not bipolar nor schizophrenic. These are people or kids who go to their GP or other a mental health professional with some anxiety, or a kid with ADHD etc and then a tragedy strikes-behavior that was not typical for the person-even though they were taking their meds.

In the first case that went to court, the Drug Company’s own data showed that people still on their meds, were having these problems. The FDA was not fully informed at the time the drug was approved. No effort had been made to determine why some of the people had a problem.

What I have suggested is that it be investigated further. While the PHARM companies usually just settle out of court, there have been recent cases where there was sufficient evidence that the plaintiffs have won settlement.

I just finished reading a legal brief regarding this where it was noted that evidence suggests that part of the problem might be that some apparently lack the ability to metabolize it correctly and it builds up to too much, and perhaps a compatibility test could be developed.

So what I am saying that there is ample evidence to show a correlation, and that should be investigated and tested to determine why that correlation exists. So I am open to whatever those results might be.

I know that I would never allow a kid of mine to be on these drugs after what I have read, most especially for a diagnosis of ADHD.

[mom of young patriots]

An inability to metabolize makes perfect sense, really. That may be my situation concerning quite a few prescription and OTC drugs. Like you, I am hesitant to take anything. I suffer with seasonal allergy symptoms because I just don’t need the side effects of even the most common drug remedies.

When I have a surgical procedure, I always have a long talk with the anesthesiologist about my sensitivities. I tell them to skip the Versed, for instance. I get depressed for a week afterward and it drives me crazy that it causes amnesia. I might go through horrible pain and not remember later. They often give it prior to surgery when they just don’t need to.

I never take a prescribed drug without careful research. I have learned not to trust doctors completely. Too often, they skip the mildest treatment while reaching for the script pad and, by not doing more testing like hormones and vitamin/mineral levels, they can miss fixing the problem.

Was there something in the article that you disagree with?

If not, and it was just the messenger that you object to, here are some others. Maybe one of those would suit you better.

http://healthland.time.com/2011/01/07/top-ten-legal-drugs-linked-to-violence/ed to Violence

When people consider the connections between drugs and violence, what typically comes to mind are illegal drugs like crack cocaine. However, certain medications — most notably, some antidepressants like Prozac — have also been linked to increase risk for violent, even homicidal behavior.

https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/03/antidepressant-side-effects.aspx

Antidepressant-induced violence and homicide is an international problem, but it is particularly apparent in the US due to the widespread use (and misuse) of these drugs

While mass killers generally have guns in their hands, another commonality is that they often have psychiatric drugs in their blood. The difference, though, is that it isn’t guns that have the side effect of “homicidal ideation.”

I agree. The lack of curiosity about nutritional levels is always amazing to me.

[greeneyes]

Yes indeed. Which makes it all the more important to fight them, and their insane ineffective solutions for problems they cause.

[The Westerner]

“...In the 50’s we had kids driving to school with guns in gun racks in their pickups. We did NOT have all these massacres. Why is that? Why is no one trying figure that out? “

Not only did kids have rifles, kids carried them to school. One thing we can conclude is that the American child who was the product of pre-1960’s understood what adulthood looked like and aspired to it.

Drugs, the ones that the 60’s kids and onward have used, are responsible for the loss of many productive citizens. However, that begs the question, why did we/they seek the intoxication of drugs?

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

The article may be a Scientology group HOWEVER the ONE THING all of these young school shooters had in common were these mood altering drugs!!! I know NOT ALL people have these side affects BUT for the one’s that do it is DEADLY!!! The fact that ALL of these kids were on these pharmaceuticals is just TO MUCH of a coincidence for me!!! This has become to frequent since these pharmaceuticals were introduced to our kids!!! Adults on these prescriptions are old enough to FEEL the odd way they are feeling, HOWEVER a kid is given the meds by their parents and they don’t know what is going on with the CRAZY feelings they are getting from the side effects!!!!

[SecAmndmt]

You don’t understand. They know all this. But they don’t care. It takes a few broken eggs to make the anti-gun omelet.

I totally agree with you.

I personally was involved in the original multi billion dollar suit where my client sued Johnson & Johnson for off label use of Risperidone in the elderly where it was black boxed in the PDR as dangerous. My client won in settlement as J & J paid over $3 billion and never admitted fault.

[tired&retired]

I’ve worked with veterans, especially one special forces guy who is still in prison after 5 years where the Army doped him up on benzodiazepines for years, along with that he has TBI and severe PTSD. Then the Army left him out on the street while still in the Warrior Transition Unit trying to transition from active duty to civilian life when he had a PTSD flashback incident with the police. He was shot four times, twice in the face and is locked up due to the Army’s screw ups.

His service duty was so severe that the judge stopped the testimony at his military discharge hearing stating, “I don’t want the people in this courtroom to get PTSD just from listening to the testimony from his peers on what this man went through in combat.

Benzo’s are the most dangerous.

[greeneyes]

Well, I do understand that certain elements of our society - I’ll just call them gun grabber INC, don’t really care about anything except grabbing guns.

I also understand that they know exactly what they are doing, and I am aware that there were insiders who tried to warn people long ago, and wrote books saying this was exactly what was going to happen.

What happened to these whistle blowers was most unpleasant, but of course, it was just happening to KOOKs, so no one really cared that much.

The Fla. shooting obviously has an organized and preplanned response to this shooting - perhaps just waiting for the next one to happen. At any rate, they are pulling out all the stops, and so far, the defense of the right to bear arms has been pretty tepid.

So I felt a need to point out other inconvenient reasons why the gun grabbers are ridiculous and what measures might help to actually make things better.

I was encouraged by the Fla. Legislature not caving to the pressure - so far anyway.

[greeneyes]

This is so terrible what they have done and are doing to our wonderful Veterans and active military. I pray that God will intervene and stop this madness. It’s just awful.

[SecAmndmt]

Well I agree with everything you just wrote, and I too agree that the FL legislature did brilliantly in not caving to pressure. I even think the Trump response on bump stocks is OK - I don’t support the move, but messaging is everything at the moment.

Do you find it interesting that just as the Nunes memo stuff is really kicking into gear, we get another big shooting?
