I am a lawyer and have defended and prosecuted actions involving Big Pharma and what I have seen -with respect to both the legal system and the pharmaceutical industry- is disgusting and wrong. I can bear witness to this sad story .

As measured by their criminal settlements w US prosecutors, they are the most evil industry in history.

The oil companies would be right up there with them except no one will prosecute them.

Yep, right back to the Columbine shootings.. both were on SSRIs with dosages recently upped. This is suppressed because of sheer profits and the fact that it helps create fear to further the agenda of disarming and neutering the citizenry.

Another tragic irony is, Ian’s subtle issues are most likely vaccine induced. Big pHARMa does more harm to kids every day, with only the childhood vaccine schedule. It’s sickening.

I keep finding myself the last few months reflecting on friends’ and their children’s weird health issues and wondering which of them might be vaccine induced!!

I have recently read that SSRIs were instrumental in school shootings (a midwestern doctor had a Substack article about it). This however makes it personal. Very tragic.

I am devastated for this man. If I had done this, even in a psychotic state, I doubt I could allow myself to live.

Thank you, David, for your willingness and dedication to continue to speak out and educate others in the midst of utter heartbreak. You are an inspiration and a beacon for others to speak out, as well. You are definitely my definition of a hero. God bless.

This is horrific and harrowing. Chris Martenson also did a good analysis on this topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0051hkjB9po . Having been prescribed the dopamine agonist class of drugs for Parkinson's, and been around many other people prescribed them, I can attest that standard classes of pharma drugs can radically alter personality and render one totally delusional. I have seen that particular class of PD drugs ruin many lives and many families.

Every school shooter had used antidepression drugs, but how many were low on vitamin D

antidepressants have been causally related to violence

@Robert Yoho MD: So sorry about this man’s tragedy. As a retired physician, I would take issue with one aspect of his story, which is that Mr Carmichael did not have a mental illness before he began Paxil. He very clearly described an acute/subacute anxiety disorder which included severe insomnia in response to life challenges. As we know, severe sleep deprivation can lead to acute psychosis & other mental & physical difficulties. This was likely a part of his clinical state when he began Paxil. He also describes being suicidal very shortly after beginning Paxil, which likely deepened the psychosis. My thoughts & prayers go out to him & his family whom I’m sure have endured a living hell. Thank you for sharing this important story. Over the last 2 years, I’ve learned how Big Pharma has acted dangerously reckless for decades. I have experienced exquisite outrage, pain, & shame over this realization. It must NOT be accepted. Massive changes to control the power of the medical industrial complex for the benefit of patients everywhere MUST be achieved.

His tragedy is an example of the entire society's disaster. See ssristories.org for 5000 violent episodes on SSRIs. David is not unique. We had no reports of women drowning their own children before SSRIs. Lilly knew about suicide and violence before unleashing Prozac (the predecessor to Paxil) on the world, and their foreknowledge had to be uncovered in litigation. Prozac had more postmarking problems than any drug in history and something like 50,000 lawsuits in a short period. See Butchered by "Healthcare" for a complete summary. This episode was caused by Paxil: the anecdotes are conclusive and in the tens of thousands. And the evidence was already established from the original trials, which were covered up.

A little off topic, but what about non SSRIs like Xanax? Thanks.

Here's a way to download Butchered by Healthcare. Word search for the benzo section but read the entire Pharma section. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4kliod8a9z

I have a family member who has taken prozac for several years for anxiety and seasonal affective disorder. He's currently on 10 mg and wants to get off. He's split his own capsules into 5 mg but every time he tries to wean down he gets wiggy. Any recommendations? Would the supplement Lithium Orotate help, and at what dosing?
