42. Antidepressant induced homicide Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

In 2011, a paper was published in Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine examining the relationship of antidepressants and akathisia side effects in those with genetic mutations in the metabolizing genes of the CYP450 family. In the study, eight of the subjects had committed homicide and many more became extremely violent while on antidepressants.

On today’s podcast we welcome one of the co-authors, Christopher Crotty, and subject, David Carmichael, to share their stories.

38. Fear based parenting May 26, 2022

Show notes

Do you tiptoe around your child? Our children are subjected to messages and negative influences that put them at risk of proceeding down a path towards misery. Parenting during this period can be overwhelming if you do not have the core values to guide you. It’s important to define your personal core values and live them everyday as you raise your children.

34. Benzodiazepines. Everything you don't know but should. Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

In September 2020, the FDA announced a benzodiazepine boxed warning. Drugs commonly known as: Valium®, Xanax®, Halcion®, Ativan®, and Klonopin® now include the risks of: abuse, addiction, physical dependence and withdrawal reaction.

The warning is only the first step, because many problems have not been addressed. Especially the harmed patients that have been prescribed off-label and without proper informed consent.

If you or someone you care about is currently taking benzodiazepines please visit the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition. Their mission is to educate about the potential adverse effects of benzodiazepines as prescribed

On today’s podcast we discuss benzodiazepines.
