“I think they are looking to use any excuse to deprive people of the right to gun ownership.”
Yes, they don’t want a lot of trouble loading us on the boxcars.
The REAL question is why did he comply with an unconstitutional act!
We may all have to become felons to keep our guns, i.e, Haynes vs. US!
Sleep disorders here. Doc gave me Ambien. I quit walking in my sleep in my late Twenties. Ambien brought it back, big time. Almost burnt down my house “sleep cooking.”
There are a lot of Freepers who think a felon who has served his time should lose his second amendment rights, even non violent ones.
Who dropped the dime on this guy to the State Police?
No one had to. Tha databases are all linked. In Mass. driver’s license photos show up attached to health care records.
This is the reason that cramming Obamacare down our throats was essential to the Marxist democrats.
It is the portal for every vile and unConstitutional thing they have in store for us. It is the portal, so to speak. They now have access to your medical records, bank accounts and have their “doctors” and “neighbors” acting as informants.
People should make sure they keep an eye on their medical records because things could easily be planted on those records.
The right to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Every stinking law we have is an infringement.
While I do not consider myself a libertarian, I do not think there should be any laws restricting gun ownership. They simply do not work.
Consider the political espionage and extortion we have opened the door to now that the police have access to your medical records.
Have you ever had an STD?
Have you ever been raped?
Do you have a disease that may have been acquired via IV drug use?
Ever been treated for depression?
Are you thinking about running without a Democrat party endorsement?
=> you better think again...!!!
There was an article on FR some time ago about a lady in San Antonio who was on Ambien. She had a few drinks before taking it an going to bed. She got in her car, hit someone head-on and killed the driver. She had no clue she was even on the road.
Indeed, especially since the commie teachers are churning the nut buckets out of our schools as fast
as they can. Graduates today have no patriotism, no piety, no empathy, and no scholastic skills.
We will be a very long time, if ever, restoring our country after we throw these godless, evil bastards
out on their collective tushes.
I mourn for the last two generations of our children, and the next three to come, at least.
How about convicted felons?
That’s very strange because PTSD is an anxiety disorder. So, I cam not See how Xanax would cause adverse effects.
I have heard Xanax is bad for those with psychosis, but PTSD is not psychosis, it’s a form of severe anxiety to a life threatening event/s.
The only reason I don’t agree with this is the right to his medical history privacy!! OTherwise, I wouldn’t cry if they took away guns from people on anti-anxiety drugs...
“I think they are looking to use any excuse to deprive people of the right to gun ownership”
BINGO!
Thanks for the ping!
The article states that Xanax combined with alcohol use is dangerous, Xanax does not PREVENT PTSD. It also highlights that Xanax is addictive and those suffering may have more anxiety and distress when trying to discontinue use. That is why they are concerned because of addiction.
I am going to be following this to find out how his PERSONAL medical info was made known to the state police. Talk about a huge HIPPA violation.
Many vestibular and sensory processing damage patients are not phobic in a true sense. The triggering offenses make the person to simply want away from the trigger. Therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are of little value because again this is a non phobic and non traumatic event triggered disorder.
Go to a kids sandlot baseball game and watch the kids play. Most kids can track the ball and swing and hit. A Vestibular or optic sensory patient will do one or all of several things consistently. Swing too soon, swing too late, or duck away from the ball they should be hitting. Ill do you one better though. It often shows up in how a kid or adults shoes wear out. When I was a kid my parents bought me a pair of shoes sometimes as often as once a month. I broke the sides over. Now as an adult I wear high top work boots with custom corrective insoles. Vestibular patients tend to walk off balance. I could never pass a straight line field sobriety test.
When I was a kid I had inappropriate sensory responses. Certain visual things that scared me I stopped up my ears. I also had extreme fear of thunder and fireworks. By age 7 the eye doctor told my parents I was one eye functional. Bt age 13 I was in a school for kids with physical disabilities to try and correct my coordination. They managed to get a considerable amount of it improved to where it wasnt as notable. BTW I also passed the Armed Forces entrance physicals twice for two services.
Ive had full blown General Anxiety Disorder for 18 years. Im now 55. With this I also have what is called Myoclonic Seizures. When I have an attack its like being hit with a bucket of ice water or an electric shock. It produces a very severe upper torso spasm as many as several a minute. As I understand this degree of it is rare.
A book called Phobia Free by Harold Levinson MD pointed me to all this. He is a research Neurologist / psychiatrist and back in the 1970s discovered a significant portion of his anxiety patients had Vestibular damage histories. You have to go back even to earliest childhood. Such things as chronic ear infections and/or sinus allergies can cause the damage.

PANIC ATTACKS MAY BE LINKED TO BALANCE DISORDERS
A search on Anxiety in the Vestibular Disorders Association website
I had PTSD it hit me the same time the GAD hit. That made an accurate diagnoses more difficult in my case. PTSD IMO is best treated by one on one therapy sessions with a good LCSW who specializes in PTSD and anxiety. It takes time. I took me almost 5 years.
Doctors should not write Xanax to persons who have more than a single rare drink like a small glass of wine or a beer. The lower the dosage the lower the risk of problems. For PTSD though Klonopin would seem a wiser choice. What you want is low level but consistent in bloodstream.
I agree with your post snipe. Also, I sent you a message.
