1. I wonder if most people prescribed Symbyax understand that it is a combo of Prozac and Zyprexa, and if any of the PCP's or Psychiatrists ever explain that they are on an anti psychotic/anti depressant combo. This med should carry a duel black box warning: SSRI/suidical & diabetes. Before any patient is ever placed on an anti psychotic they must have a baseline lipid panel, and liver panel as well as CBC in blood work, not to mention a fasting blood sugar level. Any doctor or patient not having that done, is/are not being responsible.
2.Oh Fox news fell for the Torrey Power Point Presentation, complete with alarmist headlines--oh wait, it's FOX news, never mind, credibility runs in packs. Or litters, or whatever.Meow.Read my notes from 2006 Torrey's lecture.

Why don't you link with CCHR? They have the best research on psychiatry on the web and battled alone for most of the past 40 odd years.
Not that I even know how to 'link' but if I did they would be the first people that I would link with.

so, having found the cause of schizophrenia, i'm assuming most of TAC's time and finances are tied up in finding a vaccine against or an antiviral for this parasite?

Jenna, I think it's more likely TAC will start advocating involuntary civil commitment of people who own cats;).

Jenna, they do have an anti-viral: The antipsychotic Haldol.Torrey said at his lecture it is an antiviral, and the Stanley Foundation is working on a under the skin DISK for Haldol. Connecting the dots here:Haldol=antiviral=long term therapy=outpatient forced medication....just my opinion, but think about it.
