SSRI Stories: Postpartum Depression & Mothers Murdering Their Children

I have been extremely busy for a few days now, so I apologize for not posting the Evelyn Pringle article (Part III of The Mothers Act Disease Mongering Campaign series) sooner. You can see it on the previous post as well as on Natural News where it was published on Friday.

I also haven’t checked up on any news on the Otty Sanchez case to see if anything has come to light about what the medication (which she left in her purse/diaper bag at the home of her ex, less than 24 hours before she killed her baby) actually was. I am really curious if blood was drawn to determine what meds or their metabolites may have been in / absent from her blood or whether they are going to release the details of her history with meds. I can attest to the frightening effects of withdrawal, as you probably have already heard if you’ve read my story. If I find out anything new I will post it here as soon as I get a chance.

I thought I would also check the SSRI Stories Website to see how many more cases they had archived on mothers murdering their children after starting or improperly / suddenly discontinuing psychotropic drugs. I am going to post the Postpartum Depression cases separately from the other archived stories that made the news (mothers killing their kids while on / withdrawing from antidepressants).

To see recently released, decrypted MedWatch reports on homicide and antidepressants as well as all other psychiatric drugs from 2004 on, go to CCHR’s new social media website, cchrint.org, and look for the drug side effects database.

Also, check out our newly completed launch page for MADNAP, over at momsandmeds.com/medsinmilk.com.
