05-15-2007 Media Madness

Doctors are studying babies (!!!!) for signs of mental illness. Can we get over this watered-down eugenics game we are beginning to play in this culture? (Via The Trouble With Spikol.) Or are we going to become Spartans and hurl babies who don't meet certain behavioral standards from high cliffs?

A schizophrenic gives Zyprexa to a friend. Hm. Where I come from, friends don't give friends antipsychotics. Or is it that they don't let them drive Chevys?

A Texas man gets 10 years of probation for killing his wife. Why the insanely light sentence? The court accepted his lawyers' argument that a recently upped dose of Cymbalta made him do it.

AHRP helps Prozac celebrate its 20th birthday.

Oh my God that Cymbalta murder.

"He meant to kill himself after killing his wife but was too tired to do so, he told police."

I believe in drug-induced rage, agitation and aggression; but to admit you were too tired to kill yourself?

Hell did he say that when he didn't mow the grass too?!

Um, Zyprexa sharing: the guy gave his wife a pill to prove a point about sleeping on the shit.

"My mother is complacently medicated much to my father’s relief. It is all rather sad if you think about it."

How about Daddy's little helper?

RE Killing his wife. Did you see the FDA hearings on (1991) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxJomeak4V4
Where people swore the people they knew would not do what they did if not on the drug prozac?
why not Cymbalta as well?

Media Madness:

Topamax for prevention of binge eating, could be why doctors are adding to the mix with weight-inducing anti psychotics.

Topiramate for the treatment of binge eating disorder associated with obesity: a placebo-controlled study.[Topamax]

Lilly:

Tools for the Fight: Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia Resources, for doctors, sponsored by Lilly.

Take a look at how the photographs depict health care professionals, bipolar& SZ patients, and caregivers of those patients. By the depiction in photographs, it looks like there may not be a chance a health professional in a suit is bipolar.

Another interesting site where doctors can attain free samples from Lilly, Lilly Sample Center for doctors.
