DENVER -- Imagine a prescription drug that makes you gamble, have sex, overeat or go binge shopping.

Abilify has been blamed for all of it. It's one of the most profitable drugs in America. It's why some patients think the maker and the Food and Drug Administration were too slow to warn of potential side effects.

Abilify is an anti-psychotic drug meant to help with depression and bipolar disorder. But hundreds of lawsuits nationwide blame the drug for causing compulsive behavior, especially gambling.

"Eventually, I was asked to leave my parents' house because I couldn't stop gambling," said a former Abilify patient who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The mother of two said she lost custody of her kids and possession of her house to a gambling habit she said began in 2008 after she was prescribed Abilify for depression.

I don't know if drug makers advertise their products on your side of the pond, but every commercial I've seen for Abilify warns that compulsive gambling is a side effect.  First I've heard of the sex thing, though.  I need to hang out at the depression centers more often.  Or casinos.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

Drug makers don't advertise here. Over the counter stuff, sometimes, but actual medications? Nope. It doesn't happen.

Abilify is an atypical antipsychotic.

The whole class of antipsychotics Should be reclassified as weapons of chemical warfare.

Here's the relevant portions of the FDA labels detailing what the bought and paid for FDA knew about these garbage drugs when they approved them for sale.

Also includes an Abilify TV commercial

Abilify drug blamed for compulsive gambling, eating, shopping, sex


All at the same time? :nometalk:

Unprotected sex with a hooker can cover at least 3 of those in 1 shot. Possibly 4 depending on what you are into.

Perhaps someone for whom the benefits outweigh the risks?

There are no benefits.

Antipsychotics (the newer Atypicals and the earlier 1st generation Typicals such as Haldol) are the Industry's front line 1st choice drug to defraud into people accused of having Schizophrenia.

Check the Veteran's Administration page on Schiz.

VA customer base is appx 530,000 people.

Generally accepted incidence of Schiz is 1% to 1.5% of population.

So that's at least 53,000 subjects at any given time.

And not 1 single 'Positive Outcome', . . . Ever.

    "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."
My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

I think that to be a deception... To assume all those risks, or even a portion of them, discounts the supposed benefit, and is dismissive of other options - which, at the point of such a long list of suck, is ignorant to dismiss.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Yes. Slam them all you want. I had an ex who would be on the phone with her mom threatening to kill herself every night unless she took them.


Lots of people don't need them, maybe most. But some do.

What's ignorant about someone who has looked at those issues, weighted the side effects based on both severity and likelihood of occurrence, and come to the conclusion that those risks are outweighed by the benefits?

Anecdote is not evidence, but I can tell you from personal experience that taking a psychotropic medicine is not always a fools errand, even if there are risks involved.  I wouldn't change my decision one bit.

I'm not slamming them.  Certainly some things are overprescribed, but that doesn't change the fact that some of these medications are game changers, if not life savers.

The FDA Is Hiding Reports Linking Psych Drugs To Homicides

US Title 18 Section 1958

Use of Interstate Commerce Facilities In The Commission of Murder For Hire

5 years Federal time, for starters, on top of State Statutes punishing homicide.

You have misread my statement. the ignorance is mentioned in the context of not exploring other viable options which do not carry the associated risks.

My own experience was not like yours. Mine was centered around bucket loads of pills, each causing a reaction which necessitated yet another pill (countering that reaction, while causing others), until I reached an equilibrium which contained twenty separate medicinals per day... which would have been fine in some limited time frame, but it was not... The maintenance of that barely acceptable 'health' was a permanent feature, and cost twice as much per month more than my mortgage...

And it was slowly killing me.

I will rest upon my statement upthread - True health is not found in pharmaceuticals.

True health is found using all alternatives judiciously, and pharmaceuticals have saved far more lives Fee than they have damaged.
