Should We Be Looking at Prescription Drugs for a Possible Cause of Increase in Mass Murders?

Yep, good thinking. Perhaps Psychiatric Drugs Cause Violence:

• Klein DF, Fink M.  Psychiatric Reaction Patterns to Imipramine.  Am Journal Psychiatry 1962; 119: 432-438
• Preda and Bowers. Antidepressant-Associated Mania and Psychosis Resulting in Psychiatric Admissions . Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 2001: 62: 30-33
• Thomas J. Moore, Joseph Glenmullen, Curt D. Furberg.  Prescription Drugs Associated With Reports of Violence Toward Others.   PLoS Medicine: December 15, 2010

Caution:

Try to get off these drugs before the damage is done, and you may well be in for symptoms that make heroin withdrawal look like a spa vacation. (Source)

Adverse reactions are most likely to occur when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another.  Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, often over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced specialist, if available.  Withdrawal is sometimes more severe than the original symptoms or problems.

By the way, did ya’ know . . .

 About 27 million people, More than 1 in 10 Americans Are on Suicide-Linked Antidepressants, and Anti-Psychotics Are the Most Common Prescription Drugs in America?

Army Times: “At least one in six service members is on some form of psychiatric drug.” . . . as a result The US Military Is Losing More Troops To Suicide Than Combat

Master list of Antidepressant/SSRI Related Violence

Nightmare Zombie Scenario

Nearly 10% of the country or 27 million Americans are on mood altering drugs. Please understand that there is only a one month supply in the system. The kind of psychotic breaks that will happen if people come off these drugs too fast, en masse, could be catastrophic. (Source)

. . . kinda like zombies?

Who’d ever let THAT happen?

“S.S.R.Lies”

The entire lamestream media pretends there is no link between psychiatric drugs and violent behavior. Lawmakers in Washington D.C. are all bought off by Big Pharma, and besides, they benefit from the exploitation of dead children on television in order to pursue their political agendas.

But until we stop medicating our children, the violence will not stop. There will be more suicides, more shootings, more knifings or other forms of violence perpetrated against our children. You can try to take away the weapons, but until you heal the sick minds that have been taken over by SSRI antidepressant drugs and other psychotropic chemicals, you will never stop the violence.

Lyrics for “S.S.R.Lies”

Little Johnny’s just goin’ to school
He ain’t breakin’ the rules he just doin’ what kids do
Teacher says Johnny ain’t payin attention
Gonna put him on drugs but they never mention the side effects

Of makin’ him violent and defiant and his parents are buying it and
before long he’s lyin and tryin to hang himself in his own room
Or stickin’ a nine in his mouth and makin’ it go boom
But the psychiatrist says we gotta see it through

Didn’t you know your brain chemistry is whacked
And all of these drugs are proven scientific fact
But it’s all an act, the doctor’s a quack, the study’s jacked
Modern psychiatry is smokin’ crack, that’s a fact

Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitors
SS
SSRIs
SS
S.S.R. Lies

Why you wanna mess with a kid’s brain
and take away everything
that made him a human being
Like his uncommonality and his unique personality and originality
Authority figures hate individuality

If they keep druggin the kids it’s gonna get worse,
psych drugs are a time bomb ready to burst
Take the money outcha purse, give it to the nurse,
the drugs seem like they’re workin’ at first

But even on the drugs life still hurts,
and the more that you take the more it gets worse
The psychiatric medication has become a curse
And then your kid comes home in the back of a hearse

SS
SSRIs
SS
SSLies
comin home
comin home
comin home from the drug free zone

They take the brightest kids in the nation and put ‘em on medication
and vaccinate ‘em and they wonder why they can’t tolerate ‘em

So they put ‘em on psych meds and they end up dead
but nobody said they could use health food instead

messin’ with your head
can’t get out of bed
eyes are turnin’ red
doctor got not cred
You don’t have to follow what the psych doc said

You gotta take your life back, put the knife back down
If it’s like that, throw the medication on the ground
Cause the medical suckers they gonna psych that
And if you’re speakin your mind they gonna strike that

It’s time y’all learned you gotta fight back
and take your mind back from the medication trap
And if you get that, then watch your brother’s back
These drugs hit you like a chemical bitch slap
take that, psych doctors

these drug pushers should be arrested
SS
SSRIs
SS
SSRlies

We used to be a nation that would try to educate kids,
but now we focus on ways to medicate kids
We label them as victims and addict ‘em to toxic chemicals that tricked ‘em into thinkin’ we somehow fixed ‘em for life
But in reality it’s medical insanity,
a chemical calamity
scientific profanity
And it’s a horrible mistake that never had to be
Modern psychiatry is guilty of crimes against humanity.

And that’s the way that it’s gonna be
Unless you stand up and make the changes you wanna see
A non-medicated mind is ready to be free
but that’s too dangerous, don’t you see?

You might discover your own thoughts,
your own ideas, your own philosophy
your own non-conformist views
You might read the alternative press
or you might learn about health online from NaturalNews
You might threaten the status quo,
go where nobody goes, follow a path you chose,
learn what nobody knows, anger politicos, expose the medicos,
hit those foes with low blows from head to toe

Doctors puttin kids on speed
They do it for money not medical need
They try to feed you chemical lies.
And that’s the truth about SSRIs.
