DRUG OBLIVION STATS
JANUARY 20. Here are some stats on the effects of Prozac. In the years 1987-1995, official adverse-reaction reports filed: 35,230.
You might remember my recent piece indicating that for every filed report, there is a strong likelihood that the real number is 100 times higher.
That would turn 35,230 into 3,523,000.
Ponder THAT.
Here is a PARTIAL breakdown of the numbers and types of reactions (I have not included all categories). Again, try multiplying each figure by 100.
Agitation: 1191.
Convulsions: 642.
Depression, psychotic: 1205.
Ejaculation, abnormal: 281.
Fever: 358.
Jaundice: 56.
Kidney failure: 51.
Gait abnormal (could be a sign of brain damage): 142.
Hostility: 999.
Libido decline: 677.
Manic reaction (this can lead some individuals to plan grandiose destruction)
Qt prolonged (heartbeat irregularities)
Reactivity/aggressi
Suicide attempt: 2248.
Withdraw syndrome (heavy symptoms indicating addiction to the drug): 329.
Two points: This is just one of the SSRI antidepressants. The others, such as Paxil and Zoloft, pretty much work the same way in the body. So you can assume MUCH higher total figures for adverse reactions to all the SSRIs.
Consider that someone was waging a war against the populace of a nation. Would achieving these numbers of these adverse reactions be considered a major victory?
Is the Pope Catholic?
