The drugging of our service people is a monstrous outrage. The Jerks peddling this garbage are all too ready to tell the unsuspecting troops that they should Seek Help. WRONG! The help offered comes with a psychiatric diagnosis of PTSD, which DOES literally Ruin the rest of their lives. It pops up every time they apply for a job. They’re Branded BY the VA and Military Doctors as ticking time bombs.
Almost ALL of these so called picker upper or calmer downer drugs are already down AT the FDA as Causing psychosis, and Psychosis is an Official Diagnosis of schizophrenia. People do not improve from these drugs. They get sicker and sicker, not just in actuality, but on paper as an Official Record they’ll go through all kinds of hell trying to get rid of.
Here’s a VA page on schizophrenia, which is what these drugs produce.

“Algorithms:
A review of existing algorithms, including VA National Guidelines, APA, the Texas Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), and PORT was conducted. After careful consideration, a modified version of TMAP was selected, and named the New Jersey Algorithm.
The sequence includes two trials of atypical antipsychotics followed by a Clozaril trial. If no favorable response is observed, a third atypical neuroleptic is tried, followed by a typical neuroleptic, followed by a combination of antipsychotic medications. The consensus of the internal advisory committee was to provide a flexible algorithm that will allow for minor modifications as new research is disseminated. Though a positive outcome has not been observed with the NJ Algorithm to date, researchers suspect that a larger sample size might generate significant findings in the future.”
VA Serves 5.3 Million Vets and active duty personnel. The commonly accepted incidence of Selling schizophrenia is 1% of the population. Schiz is actually grossly oversold for all manner of reasons, most of which involve Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare Fraud.
1% of 5.3 Million is 53,000, and the VA hasn’t had a Single Positive Outcome Yet for the most severe diagnosis they’ve got, with ANY of their S**T Drugs. NONE! But the pushers still want even more test subjects.
If you want to know what the New Jersey Algorithm was modified from, here’s the original TMAP.

The entire horror is a pharmaceutical con job.
We should be giving our returning vets a high five and a thank you, is there anything we can do to help? Instead we’ve auctioned them off to a drug deal, that has had No Positive Outcome, Ever.
And thanks for the link.
This is a great post. Could you do a general chat post and get this info out on its own and check VETERANS as one of the key words or categories, plus ping me with it? I’ll try and get this storming, because this is why the MILITARY is having benefits cuts. The colleges are going after veterans and so are the drug companies. (A good psychiatrist charges $300 an hour!) “you don’t think they pay $3000 for a toilet seat, do you?”
Thanks for sharing the link. Allan Jones is a friend of mine. He is one heck of a great guy who stood up to the drug companies against all odds. He has helped a lot of people by pursuing this cause.
