DESTROYING
LIVES Neuroleptic-Induced Harm
Most people prescribed psychiatric drugs are rarely informed that they could
suffer crippling facial and body spasms as a permanent side effect of many of
these drugs. The major tranquilizers (antipsychotics) damage the extrapyramidal
system (EPS), the extensive complex network of nerve fibers that moderates motor
control, resulting in muscle rigidity, spasms, various involuntary movements.
The muscles of the face and body contort, drawing the face into hideous scowls
and grimaces and twisting the body into bizarre contortions.
Psychiatrists are aware of the devastating nerve damage their drugs cause and
the risk of the patient suffering neuroleptic malignant syndrome, a potentially
fatal toxic reaction where patients break into fevers and become confused, agitated,
and extremely rigid. This can and has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths.
Something else that psychiatrists do not mention is that they have diagnosed
the drug-induced permanent damage inflicted upon patients as a �mental disorder�
for which they can now �double bill� insurance companies to �treat.� The disorders
include the �neuroleptic malignant syndrome� and �neuroleptic induced Parkinsonism.�
Not surprisingly, these chemicals are capable of throwing the minds of users
into chaos and have a long and well-documented history of creating insanity
in persons who take them.
