"If we're going to learn lessons, that's a key part of it," he said.
"Why did law enforcement stop where it did?"

Brian Rohrbough, whose son, Danny, died at Columbine, said he still
hoped to get the information he and other family members have been
seeking.

"We're going to keep looking until we get the answers," he said.

======================================
It is NOT Law Enforcement's problem, it is PSYCHIATRY's problem
that Law ENFORCEMENT should reconsider, as the SOURCE of the uh,
* PROBLEMS *, not answers. ALL PSYCHOTROPICS are brain damaging, and
the mechanism of damage is that which can be predicted from *chemical
equilibrium*, where they are not directly neurotoxic. That is, the
DRUGS CAUSE the disorder. Psychiatry should not ever be exempt from
liability from criminal result from the brain damage from
psychotropics.

Each type of drug, results in an exacerbation of the condition.
Ritalin makes kids stupider.
Antidepressants result in agitated depression.
Antipsychotics result in more confusion.

It is the EXACT WRONG TREATMENT, for a trauma result, to both
LABEL the victims, and then further abuse their minds. This SAME
situation
occured in the says of Freud: BLAME THE VICTIM. That was after Freud
said, "Hey, all these neurotic women were abused as children." Their
rich fathers did not like that idea. Similar to Psychiatry's
following
by NAMI. DCF and others like to *label* an abused kid as oppositional
defiant.

'As if the kid did not have a *reason* to be oppositional defiant.
Validate the trauma? Naaaa, then Psychiatry would not be a "medical
practice". Psychiatry *MEANS* "BLAME THE VICTIM". And sociopathy
is not a mental illness. It is just plain evil.

And then, when PSYCHIATRY is pissed off, Psychiatry invents
the diagnosis du jour, and they don't even see how ridiculous
they sound when they give the same person, 12 different "diagnoses".

Or, they proceed to simply SLAM you down. Dead. Even kids
in Konnecticut.

NUMEROUS systems find Psychiatry useful. 'Demonstrating its
non-validity.
Forensics, Insurance Medicine, DCF, DMHAS, etc. The problems DO NOT
get solved, they get worse. 'Finger-in-the-dyke-syndrome, at your
child's
brain's, and future's expense.


I am afraid the Cure to Psychiatry will never be realized,
with Bush and Blair at the helm, for the simple reason that
we let them get away with their crimes. They have promoted
themselves as our heroes and protectors, and any debate is
Anti-Liberty, and Anti-American or Partisan Nonsense.

"ORDER"-- Very scary word. Bush wanted the war to start in
the Spring of 2003, and planned to do so, the summer before.
That *HAD* to do, with re-election. The war was to be over by
then, and Bush and Blair declared our heroes. *NOW* they will
start another war, so that we can stop being up their butts
about their CLEAR FRAUD of a war pretense.

PSYCHOTROPICS' BRAIN DAMAGE:
There are NUMEROUS other (than below) reports, such as
increase in dream intensity, both during "treatment"
and afterwards-- That means the BRAIN DAMAGE does not
go away at least for a while.

Discontinuation symptoms after treatment with serotonin reuptake
inhibitors: a literature review.

Zajecka J, Tracy KA, Mitchell S.

Women's Board Depression Treatment and Research Center, Rush
Preshyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, III., USA.

BACKGROUND: The discontinuation of many pharmacologic agents is
associated with characteristic withdrawal symptoms. Antidepressants,
particularly the tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), are known to be
associated with a group of common symptoms upon discontinuation.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are also taking their respective
place in the literature with reports of discontinuation symptoms. This
review summarizes case reports and reports that allow systematic
assessment of discontinuation symptoms following SRI discontinuation.
METHOD: A computerized literature search was conducted using a MEDLINE
search to identify reports of withdrawal effects following
discontinuation of SRIs. Additional reports were found in the
bibliographies of various published reports. RESULTS: SRI
discontinuation symptoms in adults are summarized in 24 case reports
and 9 reports from controlled clinical trials. Additionally, 3 case
reports addressing SRI discontinuation in the neonate are described.
The reports describe clusters of symptoms commonly associated with the
discontinuation of an SRI. CONCLUSION: We propose to define an
antidepressant discontinuation syndrome as the onset of a cluster of
somatic and psychic symptoms following the discontinuation of an SRI
and not attributable to other causes (e.g., concomitant medication,
illness). These symptoms include dizziness, light-headedness,
insomnia, fatigue, anxiety/agitation, nausea, headache, and sensory
disturbance. The syndrome may last up to 3 weeks and may be improved
by restarting the antidepressant or starting an antidepressant with a
similar pharmacologic profile.

(3 weeks was probably the length of the follow up study)

Columbine shooter was prescribed anti-depressant
LUVOX FACTS
Luvox is an anti-depressant most commonly prescribed to treat
obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It is one of a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRI).

The drug works by interacting with a chemical in the brain called
serotonin, which affects mood.

(CNN) -- *** Reports surfaced Wednesday that one of the gunmen in the
Littleton, Colorado, school shooting, Eric Harris, was rejected by
Marine Corps recruiters days before the Columbine High School massacre
because he was under a doctor's care and had been prescribed an
anti-depressant medication.***

Harris' prescription was for Luvox, an anti-depressant medication
commonly used to treat patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It is one of a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRI). Other SSRIs are Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. Prozac is
the most commonly prescribed anti-depressant in the United States.

Serotonin is a chemical released in the brain that can affect mood and
behavior. SSRIs work by enhancing the brain's ability to use
serotonin.

These drugs are typically tested for safety and efficacy in adults but
are also widely prescribed to children and teen-agers. Doctors make
dosage adjustments based on the patient's weight.

Luvox is generally prescribed to patients whose obsessions or
compulsions cause them distress, consume time, or interfere with their
daily activities.

American Psychiatric Association President Dr. Rodrigo Munoz said
there is no specific link between these drugs and violent behavior.

"Despite a decade of research, there is little valid evidence to prove
a causal relationship between the use of anti-depressant medications
and destructive behavior. On the other hand, there is ample evidence
that undiagnosed and untreated mental illness exacts a heavy toll on
those who suffer from these disorders, as well as those around them,"
Munoz said.

It is not known if Harris actually took the medication, and
investigators said Wednesday early toxicology tests performed by the
medical examiner's office showed no evidence of drugs or alcohol in
the body of either gunman, Harris or Dylan Klebold.

"The final reports from the coroner have not been made and given to
us. However, like I've said, I'll have to revert to what they told us
about the toxicology reports earlier, and that is that there weren't
any drugs or alcohol in the blood, and, once again, I didn't hear her
say illegal drugs or legal drugs," Jefferson County Sheriff's
spokesman Steve Davis said.

Medical Correspondent Steve Salvatore contributed to this report.

Well, guess this *could* be *related* to Lyme. Many patients take
psychotropic drugs.
