If you keep up with the news you are already aware that many psychiatric drugs cause violence, suicide and multiple side effects. Well, now Mercola has published a list of specific drugs known to cause violence. It is not speculation anymore! A matter of fact some of the drug studies revealed this problem early on, prior to the marketing of the drug, yet it was released and is still on the market.
Top Ten Legal Drugs Linked to Violence
Meanwhile, here is a list of the drugs:
10. Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq): An antidepressant which affects both serotonin and noradrenaline
9. Venlafaxine (Effexor): An antidepressant also used to treat anxiety disorders
8. Fluvoxamine (Luvox): Another SSRI antidepressant
7. Triazolam (Halcion): This potentially addictive drug is used to treat insomnia
6. Atomoxetine (Strattera): An ADHD drug that affects the neurotransmitter noradrenaline
5. Mefoquine (Lariam): A treatment for malaria which is often linked with reports of strange behavior
4. Amphetamines: (Various): Used to treat ADHD
3. Paroxetine (Paxil): Another SSRI antidepressant, Paxil is also linked with severe withdrawal symptoms and a risk of birth defects
2. Fluoxetine (Prozac): This drug was the first well-known SSRI antidepressant
1. Varenicline (Chantix): The number one violence-inducing drug on the list, this anti-smoking medication is 18 times more likely to be linked with violence when compared to other drugs
Find natural alternatives, turn to your faith and/or deal with the stress in your life or in your past. Do not risk your health, your life or the lives of your family and friends!

Wow, I had no idea that these drugs were linked to violent behavior. People really don’t know half of what they’re getting into when they get prescribed some of these substances. I’m familiar with some, but with the continual developments by big pharma companies it becomes a race to keep up. I work at one of my city’s prescription drug rehabs, though, so I’ve seen some of the worst consequences…People need to stop assuming that just because these drugs are legal they’re “safe”! A list such as this one certainly proves otherwise…
Thank you for the important information.

How you and others could not know this? Pfizer and other drug lord companies should be shut down and the bosses sent to jail. Ignorant parents actually think a powerful drug, an amphetamine (nearly the exact junk being sold on the streets illegally) is going to help their child play nice; more like commit suicide or kill someone. Ignorance keeps the drug lords in business, and keeps the med-head population growing, which is ruining our country (the USA).

Was James Holmes on Antidepressants or other mind altering drugs? Was the “Batman shooter” having a psychotic reaction to these drugs? He does seem like someone who would likely be on psychiatric drugs already for some reason, a nice “quiet” young white guy.

Too many medicated people and children, it’s ruining our country and is a serious security threat; ie public shootings, stabbings, random killings, by young and old who are in these meds. I feel fearful, its terrorism, these vilent acts. Pfizer and other drug lord corporations should be shut down and the bosses arrested!
