School Shootings and SSRI Antidepressants
International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine ^ | 2004 | Peter R Breggin

Posted on 12/18/2012 10:33:31 AM PST by Dead Dog

The report [51] provided a clinical window into the development of obsessive violence and a school shooter mentality. A twelve-year-old boy on fluoxetine developed nightmares about becoming a school shooter and then began to lose track of reality concerning these events. This case occurred in a controlled clinical trial and the investigators did not know that the child was getting fluoxetine until they broke the double-blind code. The child’s reaction occurred long before any of the well-known school shootings had taken place. Therefore, his reaction was not inspired by the school shootings; it was not a “copycat”:

I think we all are feeling that mix, it’s the impulse to react in kind that has to be controlled.

How was cutting off celexa cold turkey? I know one person that went through hell doing that. This stuff is an emotional lombodimy. She felt it was a door that let evil in, a door her mind normally guarded.

We have an appointment next month with a psychologist for a potential ADHD diagnosis. Meds are off the table as a treatment option. We took our son to a holistic practitioner last week and he determined my son has a dairy and egg allergy. In addition to removing that from his diet, he suggested giving him a supplement called Neuromax and another called Probenzym. Both are made by Frontier Nutrition. Holy cow! What a difference! I have my son back!

In a week? Really?
How long before this was he suffering these symptoms?

Probiozym (this is the same medicine you are referring to?) is prescribed where protein intolerance and disrupted gut flora are involved, and NEUROMAX is prescribed for the treatment and prevention of deficiency of vitamins B.

At the first link, for Probiozym, there is reference to treating:
Autism
ADHD
Inflammatory intestinal disorders
Irritable bowel syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Reestablisment of the gut flora following antibiotic treatment

Amazing if true.

Btw, good luck with the IQ test. I bet your boy is smart!

Please consider adding fermented foods to your son’s diet. Sauerkraut, Kefir, Kombucha tea.... it is endless. You will have wonderful success if you can do this.

How do you deal with the high acid contents of fermented foods? Just thinking about sauerkraut give me a poor stomach.

We certainly do! I’m making real sourdough bread and he loves sauerkraut. I’m thinking of making my own kraut too. We grow much of our produce and a bumper crop of cabbage is in the works.

I saw the first results that night. My 16 month old daughter took my son’s empty sippy cup, held it by the straw, and then swung it around until the cup flew off. It’s one of her favorite games. I told the kids it was time to go up stairs and go to bed. My son asked where his straw was and I told him that I did not know. At this point, he would have had an inconsolable meltdown. There are no spankings, timeouts, serious talkings to, non-aknowlegements of behavior, or favorite toy denial that can cure these meltdowns. For hours after the meltdowns, he has “flashbacks” which cause mini meltdowns. For example, if my son had had a meltdown about the straw, he would have laid in bed and every so often I would hear in the living room, “Do you know where my straw is?” followed by light sobs. Instead of any of this my son said, “Can I have an orange straw tomorrow?” I had to blink back tears. He has also suddenly started
talking in complete sentences. He did not do that this time last week. I’m actually fighting back tears as I post this because I’m thinking of his first Christmas program last night. He may have jumped in place and twisted from side-to-side, but gosh darn it he was one of few (and the only one in his age group) that had his lines memorized! “There in the stable / On clean hay / Was a place to rest / So glad were they.”

After two days of not taking Celexa, I was experiencing “short circuits” in my brain about a dozen times a day; picture a TV that is rapidly unplugged then plugged back in. These “shocks” continued for about a month. Now, even the hand tremors I had developed are gone. I can experience a broader range of emotions. I regret having been encouraged to take them by my “mental health” worker.

That sounds familiar. Plus the seemingly dual personality that would show up every few hours. The “New” person was meaner than hell sedisttic even, with no emotional bond with there kids. Scary stuff.

But, when you consult a healthcare professional they mindlessly assume it is the “underlying condition”. Which promps more drugs and a paper trail. The underlying condition was insomnia..... Not bat crap nutty.

1 in 3 are reportedly on these... Imagine how it affects there vote.

The medicine is there to be used if needed. There is no shame in trying to correct problems with the tools at hand. I know.

Wow that’s wonderful, goodwithagun.
I can just imagine how heartening that change would be for all of you.
I’m going to look into this further because of your post.
Thank you very much, and a Very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
