To tell our story and share our journey
To shine light on the dangerous side effects of psychiatric drugs
To bring awareness of the diagnosis "Substance-induced Mood Disorder"
To help apply the proper legal defense of "Legal Involuntary Intoxication"
To encourage all who are currently involved with psychiatric drugs
   to pursue and demand the truth of the drug warnings and test studies
To present the concept of "Medication Spellbinding" which means that your
   mind and emotions can be compromised without you realizing what is happening

And for all...the patient, family, friends and community...to heed the warning
   that it can be dangerous to start and to stop psychiatric drugs
Medication withdrawal should be done gradually with the support
   of all your loved ones and with experienced clinical supervision

Some people have expressed that it is hard to read this with the colors changing in the background.  I cannot eliminate the color but I did find a solution to make it easier to read.  When you print this page, it prints with a white background.  Please adjust your preferences for the printer to print it in Landscape mode vs. Portrait so that it prints to the right margin.  I am sorry that it is hard to read...for so many reasons...but I am so grateful that so many people have responded.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless all of you...There are many of you who have read and responded many with your own stories and concerns.  We are all not alone and good will come by continuing to communicate.

A complete, perfect time…with memories to last a life time

Improper treatment of mental health & illness
Medication without proper monitoring
Lack of Awareness of potential dangers
Criminal Justice without regard to mental illness
Lives lost and altered
FOREVER!

But Grace and Forgiveness restores and heals

We have to talk about this
It’s important to get this right
If this could have happened to us
This could happen to you or someone you love

How would you know
If YOUR mind was broken?

On January 20th, 2006...the day psychosis took David's free will:
The cocktail of medication was:
 
3 weeks of Ambien as a sleep aid...didn't help him to sleep
3 week of Trazadone for anxiety
Both prescribed by the general practitioner for stress and sleeplessness

1 week of Prozac added to the others by the Psychiatrist to avoid what was perceived as the worst summer of our lives in 2004 when David was on Paxil and couldn't get out of bed.
David was being treated as a depressed patient but started as a man dealing with stress and anxiety.  But ...never was it mentioned that medication could have turned the tide from anxiety to depression. David continued to take his meds and cognitively tried to work things out. We asked the Psychiatrist to change the medication but a cognitive therapy program was encouraged instead.  David was also given a sample of Lunesta to help in the sleeplessness when he was in therapy the day before the tragedy.  So, add to the list...1 night of Lunesta.

A chemical imbalance was created and no professional alerted us to the possibly.  It is also highly possible that the anxiety experienced during the holidays of 2005 and the anxiety that brought us back to the general practistioner and the psychiatrist was a result of Paxil withdrawal having come off that antidepressant in the Fall of 2005.

After David called 911, was arrested, taken to the Mecklenburg County Jail and within 3 days to Central Prison in Raleigh, isolated from his family and friends and in the care of North Carolina, David was medicated as follows:

The mood stabilizer Lithium
The anti psychotic Respadal
The anti depressant Lexapro

Contrary to his wife and brother advising all that the 7 days of Prozac had to play a role,
no acknowledgement and treatment alternatives were considered.  David remained on these medications until withdrawal in the summer of 2008.  Great energy and anger flared up during the 6 months to 2 years that it took for these drugs to leave his system. He was waking up in prison and couldn't believe what had happened to him and his much loved family. He now (Summer of 2010) takes only fish oil supplements and is back to his calmer, normal, brillant self but is being punished daily in prison for the impaired state of his free will on January 20, 2006.
