Excerpt from Conclusion: These effects of psychiatric drugs are so common and detrimental to the patient that they can no
longer safely or accurately be called “side effects”. Instead, they are more appropriately called toxic
effects.
Excerpt from abstract: These drug effects can be and are often so detrimental to the quality of life among a distinct but significant minority of patients
that they can no longer be considered trivial or unimportant. Instead, they are so disruptive to many patients’ quality of life that
their effect becomes traumatic, and are thereby agents of trauma. These observations and preliminary data may encourage others
to look into this matter in more depth.
Why are some people prone to suicide and homicide and increasing psychosis and some not? Read Dr. Yolande Lucire’s study in pharmacogenetics in which she studies 140 homicidal personalities…a riveting work...must read…
THE HIDDEN GORILLA: Most drugs that can cause suicide, including the antidepressants, mood-stabilizers, antipsychotics, smoking cessation drugs and others, can also cause violence. The akathisia, psychotic decompensation, or emotional disinhibition these drugs trigger that lead some to suicide, lead others to violence (see Healy et al 2006). Read The Hidden Gorilla…
WHAT WOULD BATMAN DO? Why the bifurcation in 1955? This was the year of the introduction of chlorpromazine. Year on year after 1955 a greater number of tranquilizers (antipsychotics / neuroleptics) like chlorpromazine were consumed by veterans with mental health problems as an ever greater number of these drugs were marketed. These drugs were given to veterans who were depressed, anxious or psychotic – they were not as might be thought now restricted to veterans who were schizophrenic. Read article…
Excerpt: Dr. Anderson is one of the more outspoken proponents of an idea that is gaining interest among some physicians. They are prescribing stimulants to struggling students in schools starved of extra money — not to treat A.D.H.D., necessarily, but to boost their academic performance. “We’ve decided as a society that it’s too expensive to modify the kid’s environment. So we have to modify the kid,” Anderson said. READ MORE…

A “RIVETING” report by FOX news.
Why do some people react morbidly to these antipsychotics, antidepressant drugs and others don’t:
Read the most egregious coverup by the Pharmacuetical industry that is making our kids psychotic:
Our findings confirm extensive polypharmacy on general adult psychiatric and functional elderly psychiatric wards. A substantial proportion of patients were receiving combinations of drugs that interact with CYP2D6 and/or CYP3A4, many of which are known to produce clinically important interactions. Doctors practising in old age psychiatry should be aware that patients on functional elderly wards are at increased risk of clinically important CYP3A4 interactions. Psychiatrists should consider the pharmacokinetic implications of drugs prescribed for use ‘as needed’, because of the potential for unpredictable interactions. Read (2003) Study…
Such deaths have been occurring for years, but they were recently brought to light by a West Virginia couple who shared the story of their son, Andrew White, with ABC News. Andrew died in 2008 of fatal drug intoxication. The Whites blame the prescriptions their son was on for his death. According to a report by ABC11x:
“”We call it the lethal cocktail. It’s antidepressants, antipsychotics and analgesics. It’s just overloading, and your body can’t take it,” Stan [White] explained. The Whites said Andrew was taking Seroquel, Klonopin, and Paxil. They still have the pills prescribed by Veteran’s Administration doctors to treat Andrew’s post-traumatic stress disorder… “He made that choice to trust the VA and that trust cost him his life,” [Mrs. White] continued.”
The twist to the story is that within weeks of Andrew’s death, three other war veterans—all of whom were taking the same drugs Andrew was on—also died in their sleep. Read more… Comment by VLA founder: “Did the physician test for Cytochrome P450 2D6?
