Antipsychotics found to cause Parkinson's

Here comes today's story about psychiatric drugs that's sure to be covered up as quickly as it appears.

Certain prescription drugs are now known to cause Parkinson's disease-like symptoms or even full-blown Parkinson's. The biggest culprits are 2 antipsychotics: haloperidol (Haldol) and perphenazine (Trilafon). Some antidepressants are guilty as well - particularly ones that inhibit dopamine.

What?! Trilafon has major side effects?! Imagine that!

It's also known that Trilafon is one of the most widely overprescribed drugs. If some kid gets in trouble at school, Trilafon is often one of the first things prescribed to them. Although it's an antipsychotic, one doesn't have to be psychotic to be drugged with this poison.

Now it's been found that people who take Trilafon or Haldol have experienced Parkinson's-like symptoms with stunning frequency. Some have even developed Parkinson's - as the drug unearths the condition from its latent state.

If it's full-on Parkinson's, it doesn't go away when you stop taking the drug. There is no cure. You will suffer from it for the rest of your life.

I hope there's a class action lawsuit over this. Unfortunately, I don't expect the media to stay on the case - because it never does, when psychiatric drugs are involved.
