Comment:
A psychiatrist put my brother on this in the hospital without my permission. He was in a vegetative state, had severe dellusions and halucinations. He is Bipolar, he was septic after surgery. He slept, lost weight, became rigid, What a horrible experience. I demanded him to be taken off of it.

All in this class of drugs is supposed be unavailable on all markets since the end of World War II. All these drugs cause premature death by about 20 plus years if ingested long term with induce many health complications (diabetes, heart disease, artery changes, oxygen deprivation, tardic dyskensia--irreversible--etc.)--this has been known even before the experiments by the Nazis.
