    America's Addiction to Dangerous Antidepressant Drugs

    America's Addiction to Dangerous Antidepressant Drugs



    Apr 9, 2012

    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. http://www.infowars.com/antidepressa...emic-of-mania/
