Does anybody KNOW for sure if Justice Roberts is On Epilepsy meds and if so which particular ones?
Because Anti Seizure, Epilepsy drugs are literally a sledge hammer to a person’s cognitive faculties, and could very well account for this unbelievable decision he delivered on O’Care.
The FDA has both Neurontin and Depakote down for CAUSING PSYCHOSIS.
He has symptoms of having had a bad trip with Depakote. That means he’s having OTHER problems right along with the seizures ~ or he’d be using the gentler stuff.
Speaking as someone who routinely prescribes anti-epileptic drugs and who also orders neuropsychiatric testing on my patients, I can’t say I’d agree that anti-epileptics are a sledgehammer to cognition.
I have also never heard anything more than case reports of neurontin or depakote causing psychosis, and I prescribe them routinely. Not to say that psychosis and reduced cognitive function are directly related.
I have seen some adverse events with Keppra, but to attribute an eloquently written Supreme Court decision to a medication... I don’t think so. It’s just not going to happen.
