Psychopharmaceucitals

That is a big word for chemical substances that change the function of the nervous system and results in alterations of perception, mood, cognition, and behavior. Psychoactive and psychotropic are also used, generally psychoactive is usually used to indicate non-medical (e.g. recreational) and psychotropic refers to medical use. I noticed that my hospital records indicated that I was being administered psychotropics. They are generally used to treat mental disorders of various types. In fact they have no other legitimate use.

I didn't have a mental disorder (I had physical injuries from a prior encounter with the Medical Industry) but they pumped me full of those drugs anyway. The effect of the drugs (usually a cocktail of five or six) certainly made it appear to observers that something was wrong in my head - hallucinations, resisting attempts to stick things in me, pulling tubes and wires - so they decided that they needed to tie me to the bed 24/7 instead of just laying off the chemicals for a while.

Psychomeds use your nervous system to affect your behavior. Well, they affect a lot more than how you feel, what you see or think you see, and how you behave. There are those things like arms and legs and hands and feet that you would like to have working properly, and the stuff inside - digestive system, heart, lungs and other internal organs - and they get damaged even if there is a presumed medical indication for use.

Despite vociferous protestations by representatives of the Medical Industry pharmaceucital development is like throwing spaghetti at a wall and seeing what sticks. Most people I know call it throwing something else, but pasta will do. Trial and error is a necessary part of research but the finished product should be free of errors, particularly in matters of human lives. Drugs that do things to the complex - not to mention not completely understood - nervous system should not be created and used so cavalierly but they are.

In another life, before my nervous system was thus assaulted I designed, built and maintained large computer networks. Data centers in various parts of the country were connected with relatively few - two or three usually - communications circuits but inside were thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of connections between the various components. Even though not nearly as complex as the human nervous system, disconnecting or relocating a single cable could cause a large part of the network to become unusable. A few critical cables being unplugged could cause an entire data center to stop working.

Think of your brain as something like this:

This is what the backs of those rack look like:

Or what they should look like. I have seen installations like this:

Harder to troubleshoot when something goes wrong but it works.

The human brain and nervous system are an order of magnitude or three more complex than any computer network. More to the point a properly designed and maintained computer network is relatively easy to modify or repair. By comparison - no matter what they say - scientists know very little about the workings of the human neural network. What little they know comes from experimentation. Flinging spaghetti and seeing what happens. So while drugs to create behavior can be created and some of the undesirable effects are known much remains unknown. Applyint psychomeds in any case is analogous to going into a data center and randomly moving cables and in some cases leaving some disconnected or removed entirely.

In my case - my network did not need modification. In addition to the average half-dozen of psychomeds I had approximately two dozen other medications in me 24/7 for over three months.

Psychotropics used to treat mental illness have many undesirable side effects. Some of them are admitted to by the manufacturers but the seriousness is trivialize. As one suffering the effects of carelessly administered drugs I don't consider them at all trivial. Excruciating pain in my extremities, hands too crippled to write legibly, typing - something my work once depended on - is a laborious task. Tremors that like the pain cannot be controlled but I must wait for them to pass, and wonder if the time will come when they or the pain will not stop. Short-term memory is severely compromised and routine tasks necessary for managing my business affairs are difficult. I cannot stand without a cane or some other support. Insomnia that can only be mitigated by drugs that I am not willing to become dependent on.

Why do the purveyors of this poison get away with it? One reason may be that so many of the victims don't live to tell the tale. People being treated for mental illness have a greatly reduced life expectancy, something like twenty years. Suicide and deaths by accidental overdose (short-term memory) are common. And during the time they do live their mental state is so unstable due to the drugs they have bigger immediate problems than the physical effects. Anyway who takes anything a mentally ill person says seriously? And the population at large is inclined to trust doctors even though they are aware that the Medical Industry is corrupt. They believe - or hope - that nothing bad will happen to them.

As I said I am not and have never been mentally ill or diagnosed as being so - those drugs were inflicted on my by a doctor who should not be practicing medicine. But during the time I was under their influence I would have appeared so, as visitors have told me. Only when they found out what he was doing and demanded he stop did he reduce the dosages enough for me to emerge from a state of non-stop hallucinations and interact in a seemingly normal fashion. Even then they had to tell the hospital they were taking me out and if they wanted to try to stop them they were welcome to do so. They didn't try, and only once I was free of the drugs did my recovery begin. Mentally anyway - treatment with psychotropics are sometimes referred to as a chemical lobotomy. I feel the way - compared to my former state - the way lobotomized people are said to. After more than two years I can't say I've improved much. Physically I am crippled and in constant pain. I can not walk without a cane or even stand without it or something to hold on to. I can not handle objects without constantly dropping them and using hand tools is difficult due to the compromised motor functionality. My short-term memory remains severely compromised three years after I was subjected to those drugs, and I depend on a system of checklists and calendars and a rigid routine to manage my affairs.

Elsewhere I tell people who have a family member or friend in the hospital they should demand a daily report of all medications being used. What that doctor did to me was so appalling I'm surprised they didn't remove or omit it from the records so you should consider that they may well lie to you. In any case if someone you have known for years and never acted strangely suddenly is consider that it may be, indeed most likely is, the effect of drugs. If a patient is behaving irrationally or violently and has no history of mental instability the cause is almost certainly drugs. Demand that the doctor disclose all medications and research any you are not familiar with.

My own experience was one of constant hallucinations. I saw monstrously huge and misshapen people, at times I was observing my former workplace as if were on a theatre stage and I was in the audience seating. I saw people in cages, I saw a dead body in beside me on the bed. At no time did my perception resemble the relatively normal environment of a hospital room. But the records show that I was talking and eating and drinking normally. Only when the drugs were reduced to the point that I was permanently semi-cognizant did the hallucinations cease.

I was a physical wreck when I left the hospital. No physical therapy had been performed in four months and I was unable to walk even a short distance using a walker. If I fell - and I fell often - I could not get up without assistance. I was so depressed I did not even want to get out of bed and try. Even after several months when the effects of the drugs should have worn off I had could not easily summon the mental energy to do anything. Even now, knowing what was done to me and that the people who did it should be held accountable it is difficult to prepare a case for the authorities - not that I believe they will do anything.

In John D. MacDonald's novel Nightmare in Pink (a work of fiction but MacDonald's work was meticulously researched) Travis McGee is imprisoned in a mental institution and told that he will be lobotomized to make him compliant. The doctor explains how he will behave after the procedure:

Which is the way I feel. In the three years since I was in that hospital how many others have been maimed or killed? I'm fortunate to be able to do anything.

The way in which psychotropics rewire the brain is not understood to even a small extent. Having found a substance which delivers a desired result more or less consistently and doesn't kill the patient immediately it is packaged and sold. It will be tested and approved by the FDA, and in time the damage may be sufficient that it will be removed from the market, or not. Psychomeds are almost never removed from the market. After all, who is going to complain? The victims?

But it isn't just the victims who are harmed - they often harm others. Recently a young woman killed her three children and then attempted suicide. She had lived a normal life for thirty-three years with no indications of mental illness until she was prescribed medications for postpartum psychosis. She was taking thirteen psychotropic medications at the time. Three children are dead and their mother unlikely to recover her sanity. Ironically she was a nurse, a part of the Medical Industry and thus blindly trusted the doctor.

That doctor should be in prison as should the doctors who prescribed medications for the numerous children who went to school and killed people. I have researched many school shootings of the past twenty or so years for which sufficient data is available and have only been able to identify two or three cases in which the shooters were not heavily medicated.

More recently these shootings have occurred in mental health facilities, perpetrated by patients who had been treated there. It would be interesting to see what medications they were using. Whatever the venue of a mass murder there are few that do not involve people under care for mental health issues.

While the szrzymjmm revealed to anyone paying attention the corruption some of us already knew was there the pleonectic and egocentric compliance of almost the entire Medical Industry revealed the suicidal complaisance of the population showed the extent of the moral decay in society. In sane society intolerant of injustice and corruption those who perpetrated it would by now be tried and convicted and paying for their crimes. The death toll of medical destruction of minds is numerically insignificant beside that of the szrzymjmm but to the victims is is very significant.
