But I won't go there. As an FYI, I have nothing to do with scientology. Because of having dealt with unbearable side effects as the result of being on ADs, obviously, it sickens me greatly that antipsychotics are being given to infants. Seeing what they have done to a good friend, I can only imagine what they are doing to the brains of young kids. The reason you are seeing so many antidrug posts is that people are waking up to the fact that these drugs are being used to control children. James,

A psychiatrists, a pediatrition who perscribes Ritalin, the parent who puts their kid on the drugs nor the drug pushers on the street's shame will ever be mine - YAAAAY! I'm glad SOME GROUP is there exposing what the drugging does and that it stop - aren't you, James!

Giving antipsychotics to infants is obscene. It's the 'invisible' equivalent of physically beating an infant around the head until it damages the brain. That is child abuse. If damaging a child's brain is considered an 'OK' thing to do by the 'majority' and caring about it is considered to belong to a 'fringe' element, then there's something very very wrong in America.

Does it mean that the majority (ie NOT 'fringe people') of Americans don't care what happens? That would explain how America as only one fifth of the worlds population manage somehow to consume over half of all available medication and an even greater percentage of all available psychological drugs. Maybe all that medication consumption for one relatively small part of earths population wouldn't be necessary if things tipped backthe right way round - and it became the 'fringe people' that thought consuming any old rubbish wouldn't have an effect on body and mind, and that a pill for every ill was 'normal'.

Seems like they'd be busy these days with papers across the country reporting on the criminal controversy.

Pharmalot never has this many anti-pharma comments. Wonder how many folks here also hate evil vaccines--they cause Autism, yanno. Just another plot by the evil drug companies.

I sold my pharmacy in the 80s, because I SAW observing my customers day by day that the majority of drugs don´t work and much worse they are very harmful. I am now in the US and I am very shocked about the massive, false and misleading advertising for drugs which has lead to a tremendous use of harmful prescription drug. Worst of all the drugging of children. Highly addictive drugs for adults, that had been taken off the market and put under the severest category of addictive drugs in the 60s are now given to children (Ritalin), an outrageous crime!

I took them for 6 weeks, but as soon as I got released I quit taking them because of what they did to me. I couldn't read or write or even follow a simple TV show. I was so uncoordinated I couldn't dribble a basketball. When I quit taking them withdrawal symptoms set in. I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. It was so horrid I felt as though I was cast into the deepest hell. It was months before that feeling went away. For the next few years I was unable to hold down a job. Eventually I recuperated, but it was not without great effort. Even now, 30 years later, I catch myself twitching my lips and tongue in ways that I know are very unseemly and unnatural. It is hard to control. These drugs cause permanent nerve and brain damage. AND NOW THEY'RE GIVING THIS STUFF TO KIDS!!!!???? I think these drugs and all other psychiatric drugs should be banned, and anyone caught making or selling them should be imprisoned for life. They are much worse than crack or heroin.
