Sgt. Eric Layne's death was not pretty. A few months after starting a drug regimen combining the antidepressant Paxil, the mood stabilizer Klonopin and a controversial anti-psychotic drug manufactured by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca, Seroquel, the Iraq war veteran was "suffering from incontinence, severe depression [and] continuous headaches," according to his widow, Janette Layne.
Soon he had tremors. " … [H]is breathing was labored [and] he had developed sleep apnea," Layne said.
Janette Layne, who served in the National Guard during Operation Iraqi Freedom along with her husband, told the story of his decline last year, at official FDA hearings on new approvals for Seroquel. On the last day of his life, she testified, Eric stayed in the bathroom nearly all night battling acute urinary retention (an inability to urinate). He died while his family slept.

These drugs are really bad for everyone yet, prescribed often. Many unethical guardians love to get their wards/prisoners on them. The anti-psychotics cause further demise that the guardians can blame on the dementia or altzymers. I think it's just a way to silence the ward/prisioner and increase the risk of death. Of course they don't want them to die until they get done exploiting. The elderly are in serious trouble in the USA
ReplyDeleteYes, for sure Veterans are being "dosed" and that's an awful way to treat them after they've put their lives on the line.
ReplyDeleteVeterans are also major targets for guardianship.
ReplyDeleteMy brother who is a Vietnam Veteran with two combat tours and the VA is robbing him of his benefits and killing him all under some horseshit guise that they are rehabilitating him. There is nothing I can do about it even though I am his family and more then willing to look after him. The life he would have with me would be a thousand times better then if he remains in their care. Again They Are Robbing & Killing Him first using him as a guniea pig for big pharma.
