Drug, Psychiatric, Homocide Andrea Yates, Susan Smith, Chris Pittman........................................

[Guest guest]

Dr. Lance,

 

I'm sorry but I use to have a copy of the court record detailing all the

drugs Yates was put on but I lost it somewhere. It was a rather long list -

a shocking eye opener but not an uncommon story of a gamit of various drugs

at various doseages, start this one, stop that one, up dose on this one,

down dose on that one, until totally crazy. As I remember, she was on an

extremely high dose of Effexor which was stopped cold turkey maybe two weeks

before the drownings. Her husband had called the psychiatrist about

reactions she was having after it was stopped so the doctor had added the

Haldrol back in. Also in that record were allegations that the

psychiatrist had altered her medical records after the drownings.
