Antidepressant Drugs Causing Epidemic of Mania, Mayhem and Murder

America’s addiction to dangerous SSRI’s hits crisis levels

The alleged shooting of a police officer in Austin by a man taking the anti-anxiety drug Xanax is just one of a plethora of recent incidents fueled by anti-depressant pharmaceuticals – an epidemic of mania that has swept the country.

Mary O’Dell, the mother of 24-year-old Brandon Montgomery Daniel told the Associated Press that her son’s role in the fatal shooting of Austin Senior Police Officer Jaime Padron was fueled by alcohol and psychotropic drugs.

“She said she talked with her son Thursday evening, and that he had been taking the prescription anti-anxiety drug Xanax and drinking tequila,” reports AP. “Hours later, Padron was fatally shot at a Walmart while trying to subdue a potentially intoxicated man who was later identified as Daniel, investigators said. Two employees tackled and disarmed him, then held him until help arrived.”

O’Dell added that Daniel was not even aware of what had taken place because “he was under the influence of tequila and Xanax.”

This is just one of a spate of shocking incidents over recent years in which Xanax and other similar pharmaceuticals have played a central role in triggering random violence and mania.

The two recent incidents involving airline officials suffering mental breakdowns during flights were also caused by anti-depressant drugs.

JetBlue pilot Clayton Osbon, who went crazy and began screaming about Al-Qaeda and threatening to take the plane down during an incident last month was described as a “consummate professional” by colleagues. However, experts looking into the case confirm that “several pharmacological issues under scrutiny within the airline industry are likely to get attention in the Osbon case, including the side effects of medicines that pilots sometimes use to fight fatigue and depression.”

“Was Osbon, for instance, among those pilots newly permitted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to use one of four specific antidepression medications, whose potential side effects are known to include hallucination and panic attacks?” reports the Christian Science Monitor.

In a separate incident, an American Airlines flight attendant had to be restrained by passengers after she went on a crazy tirade about crashing the plane and killing everyone onboard. It later emerged that the flight attendant had been on medication to treat a bipolar disorder.

A 50-year-old grandmother who went nuts and began kicking, punching and spitting at flight attendants for being refused alcohol last month also blamed her anti-anxiety medication for the outburst.

The Save Project, an organization committed to highlighting the dangers of SSRI drugs, highlights a laundry list of cases where use of anti-depressants, particularly amongst young people, has led to violence. Below is just a partial list.


Eric Harris, the triggerman in the Columbine school shootings, killed his fellow students and took his own life while taking Luvox.

Thirteen year-old Chris Fetters killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.

Twelve year-old Christopher Pittman murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.

Thirteen year-old Mathew Miller hung himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.

Fifteen year-old Jarred Viktor stabbed his grandmother 61 times after 5 days on Paxil.

Fifteen year old Kip Kinkel (Prozac and RITALIN) shot his parents while they slept then went to school and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment.

Luke Woodham aged 16 (Prozac) killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six others.

Boy in Pocatello, ID (Zoloft) in 1998 who in seizure activity from Zoloft had a stand off at the school.

Michael Carneal (Ritalin) a 14-year-old opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded, one of whom was paralyzed.

Young man in Huntsville, Alabama (Ritalin) went psychotic chopping up his parents with an ax and also killing one sibling and almost murdering another.

Andrew Golden, aged 11, (Ritalin) and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, (Ritalin) shot 15 people killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others.

TJ Solomon, aged 15, (Ritalin) high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and wounded six of his class mates.

Rod Mathews, aged 14, (Ritalin) beat a classmate to death with a bat.

James Wilson, aged 19, (Psychiatric Drugs – various) Breenwood, South Carolina, took a .22 caliber revolver into an elementary school killing two young girls, and wounding seven other children and two teachers.

Elizabeth Bush aged 13 (Paxil) was responsible for a school shooting in Pennsylvania

Jason Hoffman (Effexor and Celexa) – school shooting in El Cajon, California

Another boy in Pocatello, ID (Zoloft) had a stand off at the school.

Jarred Viktor aged 15 (Paxil), after five days on Paxil he stabbed his grandmother 61 times.

Chris Shanahan aged 15 (Paxil) in Rigby, ID who out of the blue killed a woman.

Antidepressants are also exacerbating gang on gang violence. 18-year-old Bryan Sandoval Rocha was recently sentenced to five years in jail for stabbing three rival gang members. “Rocha was taking antidepressants at the time,” reports the San Rafael News Pointer.

Last year the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) produced a study based on FDA figures that illustrated how the antidepressants Pristiq (desvenlafaxine), Paxil (paroxetine) and Prozac (fluoxetine), all appear in the list of the top ten violence-causing drugs.

America’s addiction to psychotropic drugs is out of control and growing every year.

According to a report in the London Guardian today, “(subscriptions) for benzodiazepines – the class of anti-anxiety drugs including Xanax, Valium, Ativan, and Klonopin – have gone up 17% since 2006 to 94m annually, New York magazine notes. Generic Xanax, which goes by the name alprazolam, has become 23% more popular in that same timeframe “making it the most prescribed psycho-pharmaceutical drug and the 11th-most prescribed overall, with 46m prescriptions written in 2010″.

The connection between anti-depressant drugs and inexplicable and sudden violence is especially prescient given today’s report concerning how “110,000 Army personnel were given antidepressants, narcotics, sedatives, antipsychotics and anti-anxiety drugs,” while on duty last year, prescribed medicines on which psychologists have blamed “a surge in random acts of violence”.

“We have never medicated our troops to the extent we are doing now … And I don’t believe the current increase in suicides and homicides in the military is a coincidence,” Bart Billings, a former military psychologist and combat stress expert, told the Los Angeles Times.

Lawyers are also currently investigating whether Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, accused of massacring 17 Afghan civilians, was influenced by a cocktail of antidepressant drugs that triggered a psychotic episode.

It’s abundantly clear that the epidemic of craziness and violence we are witnessing both in America and by U.S. troops abroad is being fueled by dangerous psychotropic drugs, subscription pharmaceuticals that are causing normally sane people to fly off the hook and act out with insane acts of mania or violence.

Such shocking incidents will continue to happen at an ever-increasing rate until there is a massive backlash against the pharmaceutical industry and establishment doctors for pushing drugs that are directly causing violence, lunacy and bloodshed.

Back when I was a young man, it was PROVEN that nearly every man who contracted lung cancer regularly carried matches in his pocket. Matches cause lung cancer.

What percentage of people who are 'psychotic' are not on prescription drugs/cocktails and have not been for at least 1 year?

What percentage of people from these types of incidents are in that group vs. taking or have taken in the last year these drugs?

And now you run barefooted in the desert... strange world.

LSD was not the only drug researched under the MK Ultra umbrella. And Research centers along with Big Pharma were involved intimately in these research projects.

You are witnessing the results of years of trials and billions of dollars.

I do not believe that it is accidental.

And though the program was "officially" ended after the truth of it started leaking out,, I have never been convinced that it ended at all.

I have no idea. But I am not aware, nor does the article cite, ANY evidence that anyone has demonstrated even a significant correlation between "these types of incidents" (whatever THAT means) and the use of xanax. So when the article jumps to the conclusion, repeated in the thread title, that certain drugs are causing murder etc. that is pure speculation.

There are literally millions of people who take xanax without acting violently, and many incidents of violence recorded through history before xanax was invented. So, if you want to be a careful, critical thinker, the ONLY thing you can conclude from this anecdotal evidence is that xanax and tequila do not prevent violence 100%. Anything beyond that is unsupported.

You are, of course, free to speculate at will. But don't pretend it is science.
 
Anyone who thinks these drugs are safe are the insane ones.

I don't advocate the use of drugs to treat mental illness (with a few exceptions). But it is unsound to declare, based on the evidence presented, that these drugs are "causing" murder.

I know someone who murdered someone right after they were put on these types of drugs and then had his dose changed. He tried to cut off his gfs head. Before that he showed no signs of violence at all. He claims he blacked out.
 
And yet crime rates are actually falling. Hard to reconcile......

No it isn't..
Reported crime does not include crimes BY the state.
Reported crime does not include crimes that are not reported.

And also the incidence of pointless crime (Mass shootings) has risen with the use of these drugs.

Read the link I gave.

Most people who murder someone never murdered anyone before. Therefore, whatever they ate for breakfast the morning of the murder caused it.

Most people who are addicted to heroin smoked pot first. Therefore, pot causes heroin addiction.

The Great Depression ended after WWII therefore WWII ended the Great Depression.

I don't really care one way of the other, but you might want to understand the fallacies in the narratives humans create around cause and effect.

I would be surprised if xanax had any effect on these people. Its a relatively safe drug (although there really is no such thing). Anti-depressants are another story. They can severely fuck up your liver and kidneys, can cause impotence and severe weight gain. They are not something you want to take. To top that off, they really are not that effective, and in many cases they are reported to have the exact opposite effect of what was intended.
 
In my opinion we should start investigating the doctors who prescribe these medications to patients who go on a killing spree. The whole point of giving out these medications is to prevent violent behavior. If these drugs are having the opposite effect, why are these doctors prescribing them?
 
#1.Kickbacks.
#2. it is more profitable to prescribe a drug than to actually take the time to understand the individual and counsel them.

Thats exactly why legal action should be taken against them. If they don't have a rational explanation for giving a drug, they should be liable for the damages the medicine causes.
