Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 BURDESOME MONTHLY CHILD PAYMENTS? Just Add Water and Watch Your Children Kill Themselves In a Couple of Months " An FDA official told reporters that patients should see the label changes in the pharmacy in the next month or two. The warning will stress the need to monitor the behavior of youths who start taking the medications. The chances of suicidal behavior appear greater during the first few months of treatment, the FDA said in a statement. " While we are thankful that the FDA finally started feeling guilty enough after 8 1/2 years to put a warning lable on their pediatric genocidal agents so that the manufacturers can argue in court that they are not responsible because the parents were warned and the FDA is not taking the drug off the market or giving advice on how to get off the drugs that they let you give your children knowing it could cause them to kill themselves without the " non-addictive " withdrawal symptoms there will probably be a rash of irratic behavior nationwide as the parents take their kids off without tapering & supplements. I think I understand now why the gov doesn't want the American children to be well eduated in the public schools by inferior teaching methods supplemented by memory and cognitive function damaging medications. That way i if they grow up and have children they will be stupid enought to read on a lable for a drug approved by the FDA and be able to at least read the instructions of how to kill their children with a product they just paid to go to the dr. and drugstore to pick up on their way home from the junk food playground at McDonalds where they drank a sofe drink with aspartame after eating the nutrition delicious school lunch approved by the American Dietiatic Association after a " breakfast " of sugar coated frosted flakes...........they're GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeat. I feel so good about the new promises o fhealth care when Kerry lets us choose what insurance company we can have so that we can pay the premium for all the health care that is needed because of the inferior diets in america. - " Heather Buggy " <heather_buggy <SSRI-Crusaders > Friday, October 15, 2004 11:24 AM [sSRI-Crusaders] US Orders New Youth Warnings on Antidepressants... http://news./news?tmpl=story & u=/nm/20041015/us_nm/health_antidepressant\ s_dc_6 US Orders New Youth Warnings on Antidepressants 14 minutes ago U.S. National - Reuters By Lisa Richwine WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. health officials on Friday ordered the makers of all antidepressants to include tough warnings explaining that the drugs increase the chances of suicidal behavior in some children and teens. The Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) said the information, to be highlighted in a black box, must also state whether the drug has -- or has not -- been cleared for use by children. Only Eli Lilly and Co.'s Prozac is FDA (news - web sites)-approved for treating pediatric depression. A black box is the strongest type of warning the United States requires for prescription drugs. An FDA official told reporters that patients should see the label changes in the pharmacy in the next month or two. The warning will stress the need to monitor the behavior of youths who start taking the medications. The chances of suicidal behavior appear greater during the first few months of treatment, the FDA said in a statement. " The new warning language does not prohibit the use of antidepressants in children and adolescents. Rather, it warns of the risk of suicidal (behavior) and encourages prescribers to balance this risk with clinical need, " the FDA said. The warnings will apply to all antidepressants " because the currently available data are not adequate to exclude any single medication from the increased risk, " the FDA said. The agency said it is developing a pamphlet explaining the safety risks in patient-friendly language for pharmacists to distribute with each antidepressant prescription or refill. A recent FDA analysis concluded two or three out of every 100 young people treated with antidepressants might face an elevated risk of suicidal thoughts or actions. In clinical trials of nine antidepressants, no child or teen actually committed suicide. The FDA had been criticized for being slow to recognize the link between the drugs and suicidal thoughts and actions. One agency reviewer warned about the danger months ago, but top officials did not acknowledge a connection until September. Top-selling antidepressants include Prozac, Pfizer Inc.'s Zoloft, Wyeth's Effexor and GlaxoSmithKline Plc's Paxil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
