Not sure I believe any of this but the recent events in Charleston got me thinking.

This is a facebook post from John Noveske (founder of the Noveske AR-15 company). He died shortly after posting this in a car crash. Some people believe he was killed.

Question is do you believe prescription anti-depressants or anxiety medications play a role in any of this?

Edit- linked site is sort of weird but is the only one I found where the text is normal and spaced out. Sorry

I firmly believe this. I also think that prescription drugs are one of the biggest problems in America.

Of course, it's pretty common knowledge that almost all of them were on strong psychiatric drugs.

A lot of these big news stories about mass killings have some sort of prescription drugs at the root.

Yeah I had an argument with a friend who claims they are crazy beforehand, but I tend to believe now prescription meds just makes everything worse.

Damn right. And we diagnose drugs for anything possible. At least 50% of kids have ADHD and other problems. Like hell they do!

The link between violence and mental illness/ psychoactive drugs is pretty much undeniable. The problem is that no one wants to address mental illness. It is to expensive to deal with. So politicians and the media look at effect not cause for the answer.

I believe half the country is on prescription meds. Those effect people differently especially after long periods of time, and can have an effect with withdrawals.

In that group of people, there will be a couple of no good motherfrickers.

Yes and doctors don't treat anything anymore because big pharma has a pill for everything, even made up shite.

They were on those meds for a reason in the first place. I've been prescribed/tried different anti-anxiety/depression medications and they all affected me differently. Most had pros but all of them had their cons. I'd imagine those cons would be maginified on someone who was a special kind of crazy.

My Granny was on meds for suga diabeetis and went and shot up the post office.

Your brush is broad.

Crazy people get on crazy pills, sometimes they work sometimes not. The fact that they take crazy pills and kill doesn't mean that the drugs did it, it simply means that they are crazy.

WFIW, I am against most drugs except Red wine.

What is the correlation between prescription drug use and murder rate?

big thing to remember when asking this question is that correlation does not equal causality

We need to stop kick backs to doctors to prescribe this shite. These drugs have a place but they are abused right now. We need to prescribe alternative treatments. You have a bit of anxiety? Go exercise. Hell, legalize prostitution and prescribe sex for depression. Sex workers deal with all sorts of personalities and issues so it isn't like they don't have experience. Also, a good lay is both mentally and physically therapeutic as we all know.

If you think there are kick backs to MDs to prescribe these drugs you are a fool.
