Without this type of data, we cant know if the increase in murder rates has anything to do with the adverse reactions of these drugs..

What do you mean source??? How can anyone know the cause and affect of a drug if no tests are being done? Its just plain logic....
Uhuh And how does that supply support for this opinion that pharmaceuticals are actually causal to murder suicides?Hi Gilbert,
Here is how I do my research that helps me form my opinion......
I try and find an Act that governs the matter at hand... and read it..
Then I make phone calls to public bodies
(i.e. I found out through the Coroners Act that it is not mandatory to run tox reorts if the cause and manner of death is established)
I also found out that the Coroners and medical examiners do not report any information re" psychopharmaceuticals" use on autopsy reports..)
I then found out that when suicides are reported to Health Canada and Stats Canada the report doesnt mention if there was psychopharmaceuticals in the equation (which would be information gathered from medical history and family)
I kept being led to other bodies like the college of pharmacists across Canada where they told me there is no mandate for pharmacists to disclose adverse reactions even when asked... as well as no mandate for doctors either..
I then found out that reprted adverse reactions reported to pharmacists and doctors offices are not necessarily sent to health canada as it is up to the pharacy and doctors office to decide if they want to do the paper work.. it is not madated so that adverse reactions could be under reported...
Most of my work is by reading and calling sources and when I writing I share my opinion and hope that if someone is intrigued and feel that they want to know this for certain, then they would make the call themself so to not take someone elses word..
this is an example of how I would do research..
Uhuh And how does that supply support for this opinion that pharmaceuticals are actually causal to murder suicides?

"Overall, the homicide rate was 1.73 per 100,000 population in 2011, seven per cent higher than in 2010, Statistics Canada said."

Back to opinion again.
Circular reasoning is also a logical fallacy.
I don't care how you research, I asked how you related pharmaceuticals to violence. And if you can't find out a direct link, then there's no point in making assertions that there is a direct link.
Your opinion. I don't see any rudeness in my posts. IMO, I'm simply being observant, frank, and objective.Gilbert,
You are quite rude. I have been nothing but repsectful and obliging. I have tried to answert everything you asked me..So I dont get your rudeness....
But for the last time I will this question the best I can..so lets start off by establishing my view..
This forum in my eyes is posts of OPINIONS....
The OPINIONS found here or anywhere should be read as such.
If someone reading opinions, chooses to believe what they read, then its up to them..
Is that what you THINK I asked, or is it what I actually asked? What I actually asked was what your research was. You offered the extensive description of HOW you researched and mentioned acts and warnings about side-effects. Not exactly what I'd call being informative.You commented that I should tell where or how I researched..... SO I DID TELL YOU....
Like I said, caveat emptor. My doc suggests I take some medicine or other and I will find out what I can about it before I take it. Anyone who doesn't, is foolish, IMO. I didn't need anyone to tell me that there are side effects to some things, some of them being quite serious side effects.Now for your new question which appears to be asking me why I linked pharmaceuticals to violence well because psychopharmaceuticals carry the adverse warning report which states many things including homicidal suicidal ideation loss of reality... violence, aggression and many other things... this isnt new and although the drug store wont offer you the adverse reaction report, it is in the drug monograph (of all antidepressants and antipsychotics)
Never said it was. I just said that supported opinions count for more.It isnt up to you to decide what opinion a person should give.....
--------------------------------I don't know about studies all I know is when one friend got their meds confused they went completely off of the rails. Had to be committed to get back on the rails so that the drugs could be handled properly. If there were no drugs for her to take (and a few other friends too) they would be dead.
So we have to keep this in perspective.
There have been problems with psychotropic drugs from the get go.
Do they cause the death of some, no doubt. Do they save others, absolutely.
We have not progressed enough yet to understand the chemical makeup of the body. Until then, it's all we have.
M latest point (on how there is no data being collected (or looked for) in many murder suicides..
To reiterate what I see as a huge problem, is hidden information where one may be able to draw conclusions, but no information is being collected (in this case... tox reports not even requested by coroners as per my above post)
We all know that simple stats work either for us or against s.. it is however they are portrayed to support the cause at hand..
The truth is there is very little data collected and what is colected is private where no one is privy too the info..
There have been very few studies on antidepressants and antipsychotics..and many say their study showed that they dont work....
The problem is studies cant be done to determine a real vs placebo affect on homicide and suicide..
I will admit that apparently this adverse side effect doesnt happen to everyone or at least not at the same time/duration of taking/changing or increasing a dose..
Deprssion has no set symptom of suicide...
There are studies that say most people who are are depressed, or have experienced depression, have never experienced suicidal thoughts while being depressed...
To also reiterate the drug monographs on antidepressants and antipsychotics state that it was found in studies that these drugs can bring on suicide and homicide ideation. (They do state it is rare) ....
On account that it is stated by the manufacturer that it CAN happen, why does the medical profession down play it and tell us how rare it is..?
How do we know how rare it is when we arent getting the information in horrific events as to whther or not the perp was taking or withdrawing from this type of medication, and whether or not they had ever reported suicidal or homicidal thoughts prior to their use?
It is scientific information that says loss or reality and delusion are also adverse effects.. How would a person suffering from loss of reality, know that they are not in their right mind..
I is stated it can happen, so I dont understand how we are supposed to ever know just how often it is happening when the reports and information are either hidden and not tracked and not collected.......
It is only logical to assume it still occurs (on account that the manufacturer said it did)

Understandly, the families are crushed by the tradgedy. Understandly the general public looks at these monstrous events where the perp and family are hated when it is possible that the monster was created by adverse reactions..
Understandly the family has no strength or will to draw any attention on the case, and they cant speak out and many likely dont even know of monstrous adverse reactions that are listed in the drug monograph (that pharmacists do not offer the receipient) and the doctors dont come out and give us any details on their now dead patient..many dont even necessarily know that their relative was taking an antidepressant or antipsychotic..
It seems plausible that some of these tragic events were induced by meds and an adverse report will never be completed so to potentially change the current mind set of this being so rare is crazy...
Hello,
I am Alec Lamb's sister, the one you refer to in this conversation. Before you go ranting and raving, you might want to get all your facts straight instead of just throwing names and "facts" around. My brother was murdered by a paranoid schizophrenic who had not been taking is medication for 4 months. My brother could very well be alive right now if the other person had been on his medication. Don't you dare use my brother as an example again for anti-medication.
