Interesting tidbit on Rx drugs and this dangerous behavior

Lots of pro-gun guys are 'dying' mysteriously. Hmmmm. and Brietbart? And his coroner? And, probably perfectly legal.

On another note, what drugs you're on is private, priviliged information between you and your healthcare provider, and unless you've been ADJUDICATED mentally defective, you're not prohibited from posessing firearms.

My ex was on paxil. She was a class A nutjob, and I should have ditched her the second I found out she was on the P vitamin. It would not shock me that drug makers, the media, and certain others who stand to lose much if people learned there was a pattern to these shootings, were behind the mysterious deaths.

if you want to risk pneumonia to homeopathic fixes, have at it. i will rely on the thousands of published data that specific antibiotic reduce mortality. now for sinus infections, sure, antibiotics are way over prescribed. most of those are viral anyway and the antibiotics don't do anything. but any doctor recommending homeopathic fixes for known bacterial infections is inviting law suit and death.

i am as against psychotropic drugs as anyone. i work in boulder and about every teenager is on adderall, its ridiculous. when i was a kid i had a short attention span and was off the wall, but my parents were strict and kept me in line. a few years later i just out grew it. i don't think antidepressants are that great and are rarely necessary, but besides drawing the connection between these medications and murders and such, lets consider that these people were on these meds for a reason. they weren't exactly mentally normal. its pretty difficult to determine if meds cause this or if being crazy causes this. people are certainly more crazy now than 30 years ago, and EARLY medicating probably plays a role, but an adult or close to adult who happens to get put on an antidepressant and then murders someone? pretty tough to say thats the medication and not the person just being a loon.

Think about this.
Many of us young adults now suffer from permanent problems that were the result of over prescription of antibiotics. As a result viruses have become much more powerful and grown resistant to many of the drugs available today. When we were young you went to the doctor and got put on a round of antibiotics. Today most doctors recommend homeopathic methods to treat illness because they are ultimately more affective at eliminating the problem than antibiotics are.

I believe we may be seeing the same issue today with mental illness treatments as we saw with physical illness treatments in the 70's and 80's. today you go to the doctor and say I feel like X and he gives you medication Y. Ultimately medication Y causes far more problems and what may be permanently lasting negative results and side effects. Fortunately it appears that doctors are now realizing this issue and will hopefully soon start to look for non medication treatments for mental woes.

The real question however remains. Is society prepared to accept that there is no quick fix or solution to their mental woes? Many don't want to accept the fact that anxiety and depression are naturally occurring emotions that everyone will experience at some point. For many it's much easier to go to a doctor and get a pill that's supposed to make them feel better or a pill they can give their children that will turn them into a zombie so they don't have to do any real parenting.

Antidepressants are WAY overprescribed in America. It is downright criminal that so many schoolchildren . . . especially elementary school children . . . are being prescribed these meds for acting out in normal childlike behaviors. Many times the school recommends these meds to the parents because a child was disruptive, talked out of turn, or doesn't fit in with their peers. Even pre-schoolers and elderly nursing home residents are being prescribed meds to make them "easier to deal with." Traces of these meds have even been found in the tap water of NYC because they are excreted in urine and do not break down after the wastewater treatment process.

The kicker is, doctors do not fully understand how these meds work, and the medication and dosage typically needs to be altered several times on follow up visits to deal with side effects. It is also a well known fact that suddenly going cold turkey and stopping a set medication regimine often results in severe behavior issues, including rage and self destructive impulses.

In Europe and Scandinavia, doctors are appalled by how these medications are used to "treat" so many schoolchildren in the United States.

I was really really tempted to start a 4th thread of a different title.. and include a link to the search function.. but I fear my jest would have angered the powers that be.
