so a friend of my daughter was over last night, and his roommate had just gotten back from visiting his cousin in Illinois......she lived in an apartment and a few weeks ago the neighbor upstairs was making a lot of noise and her daughter couldn't sleep so she went up and complained.....he was pretty nice about it and apologized......last week it happened again, at 3 am it sounded like someone was dropping the furniture against the floor....she went and knocked on his door.....the noise stopped but he wouldn't come to the door.....

later that day her apartment complex was swarming with police.....the reason?.....the guy upstairs had walked into a college lecture hall and opened fire on everyone......

Wow the Flip Wilson defense "the devil made me do it".


Life is a little more complex than that.

There has been a rash of these types of attacks and they are related to the drugs they put these people on for pshyc reasons. They flip out big time when they go off meds. You can thank the drug companies for these types of attacks. The drugs they are pushing to the pshyc people are causing these reactions. Mild mannered kids all of the sudden what to blow everyone away.

maybe. but most of the cases are when the person has gone off of the meds, then they flip out. you wanna sue the drug companies for making the person stop taking the pills? oh wait..they didn't. the person themselves did it.

and to take "the person themselves did it" is true in the manner that the devil can't make you do anything. it is sad that whatever was going on in this guys gave him this idea.

I never said a thing about sueing now did I?

This is about saving lives.

If the brain chemistry is so altered by the drug that when the person fails to take them they will become a killing spree monster than maybe we should not leave it up to people with mental problems to take them or not?

Maybe they should have to use other drugs for their treatment huh?


The drug companies should fess up and stop selling these particuar meds.

how do you know that they wouldn't have just gone a killing spree earlier if they hadn't taken the meds? this is like any other kinda meds, it helps some, some it doesn't. so for the few that stop it on their own, the drugs should be called-back and just screw the ppl that it helps?

or ppl on this kinda drug, should they be required to have a visit every week with blood test to make sure that they haven't stopped taking these meds that keep them from becoming a psychopathic killer?

If it were TV then I think we would be seeing many more of these.

There was a texas tower incident years ago that was BIG news and we did not have repeted incidents.

These new drugs CHANGE a persons brain chemistry. That is how they help them. They also make the person feel like a Zomby. The act of going off them may cause a brain chemistry reaction that would have never happend if the person had never taken them. We take drugs off the market for a number of reason and saving lives sure seems like a good reason to me?

so instead of trying to help someone with these drugs then how do you help them? if someone gets diagnosed with some sort of psychopathy just lock them up? have a specail community for them, so that way if they do snap, then hey! it was atleast with other ones that might have snapped.

You do want full gov't involvement dont you? This is the BEST way to protect innocent lives!!! Some people just CAN'T fit into normal society and I think the government should step in and protect all of us by REMOVING these undesirables, dont you agree TM, after all you are the one always calling for MORE, MORE, AND MORE government involvement to PROTECT all of us defenseless people!!!!

What better way to make sure they are taking their drugs than to lock them up and isolate them from decent society!!! If we start early we may be able to catch them when they are young, I bet if we start with all the hyperactive ADD kids and than move on to the moody teenagers we could fill up those places with a slew of undesireables, just soo the rest of us can sleep easy at night knowing the government is taking appropriate steps to insure our safety and protection.

You are once again "perceiving" what YOU think is the truth. Didn't you just post this about perception vs reality...



Now, the FDA is considering whether such longer-term studies, which can take two to three years altogether for depression patients, should be required before a drug goes on the market. The agency has long been moving toward such a requirement, Dr. Laughren said. But the limited data available during last year's debate over possible risks of antidepressants to young patients, which centered on short-term trials, helped to spark action on the issue, Dr. Laughren said.

You forget or don't know to begin with that it is immposible to test every type of person out ther for a new drug. What is done is the people who are MOST likely to recieve the drug are tested and than the physicians and phsychiatrist start to dispense for OTHER conditions once it is approved. When a problem arises the manufacture will revisit the studies and redo what needs to be done. YOU can not plan for every contingency. Every person is different and react to drugs differently do you understand that little concept........

WAHT THE FUCK FOR YOU MORON. FROM YOUR OWN SIGHT


[edit] New prescription drugs
New drugs receive extensive scrutiny before FDA approval and some continuing surveillance after marketing. The following sections outline the basic elements of the regulatory program.


[edit] Approval for testing in humans
To test a new drug experimentally in humans, a sponsor must first file Investigational New Drug Application (IND). The sponsor must show it has learned enough about the drug from animal and laboratory studies to give the drug safely to healthy volunteers. An IND is automatically approved unless the FDA objects. After an initial IND filing, a sponsor must submit annual reports, scientific reports about every study conducted and reports of adverse events.[7]


[edit] Approval to market a new drug
A New Drug Application (NDA) is request for approval to market a new drug for a specific indication or medical use. The first pivotal hurdle for approval is the legal requirement for "substantial" evidence of efficacy demonstrated through controlled clinical trials. [8] This standard lies at the heart of the regulatory program for drugs. It means that the clinical experience of doctors, the opinion of experts, or testimonials from patients, even if they have experienced a miraculous recovery, have no weight in this process. The second critical requirement is that the sponsor must prove the drug is safe "by all scientific means applicable." [8]This places the burden on the sponsor to conduct whatever tests may be needed to establish the safety of the drug product.
However, prescription drugs are not completely safe. The legal requirements for safety and efficacy have been interpreted as requiring scientific evidence that the benefits of a drug outweigh the risks and that adequate instructions exist for its safe use. Many approved medications for serious illnesses (i.e. cancer) have severe and even life-threatening side effects.

The results of the testing program are codified in an FDA-approved public document that is called the product label, package insert or Full Prescribing Information. [9]The prescribing information is widely available on the web, from the FDA, [10]drug manufacturers, and frequently inserted into drug packages.The main purpose of a drug label is to provide doctors with adequate information and directions for the safe use of the drug.


[edit] Chemistry and manufacturing
The FDA initial review of an NDA also includes a chemical assessment of the drug molecule. The sponsor must demonstrate a capacity to manufacture and package the drug at the specified potency without contamination or impurities and the with specified chemical characteristics (such as dissolution).


[edit] Advertising and promotion
The FDA reviews and regulates prescription drug advertising and promotion. (Other kinds of advertising, including for over-the- counter drugs, are regulated by the Federal Trade Commission). The drug advertising regulation[11] contains two key requirements. Under most circumstances, a company may only advertise a drug for the specific indication or medical use for which it was approved. Also, an advertisement must contain "fair balance" between the benefits and risks of a drug.


[edit] Post market safety surveillance
After approval of an NDA, the sponsor must review and report to the FDA every patient adverse drug experience of which it learns. Unexpected serious and fatal adverse drug events must be reported within 15 days; other events on a quarterly basis. [12] The FDA also receives directly adverse drug event reports through its MedWatch program.[13] These reports are called '"spontaneous reports" because reporting by consumers and health professionals is voluntary. While this remains the primary tool of postmarket safety surveillance, FDA requirements for postmarketing risk management are increasing. As a condition of approval, a sponsor may be required to conduct additional clinical trials, called Phase IV trials. In some cases the FDA is requiring risk management plans for some drugs that may provide for other kinds of studies, restrictions, or safety surveillance activities.

Every I has to be dotted and every T has to be crossed. So many drugs NEVER make it out of the experimental stage due to problems in the animal testing, but to hear you every drug offered is automaticly approved without any testing at all....

I wish you would. Oh ya--too much work--might get your hands dirty. I don't think I've ever run into a person who blames other people for problems as much as you. Get off you ass and fix em. I would take a chance on you flipping out on meds before I would deny them to you.

I'm very familiar with the various stages of federal/national drug approval, in many different countries. Sadly, it's part of my job.

So what exactly about the process is supposed to prove what about what? Discuss.

Wow the Flip Wilson defense "the devil made me do it".


Life is a little more complex than that.

There has been a rash of these types of attacks and they are related to the drugs they put these people on for pshyc reasons. They flip out big time when they go off meds. You can thank the drug companies for these types of attacks. The drugs they are pushing to the pshyc people are causing these reactions. Mild mannered kids all of the sudden what to blow everyone away.

Now you're in generic answer mode.

If you want the truth, I was asking for your proof contridicting Abbey's claim. Given that you missed that, I thought I would be fair and accept what you posted. What you posted and it's relevance to this thread isn't clear, to me. This is the third time in this thread I've asked you to clarify. So again, what did that pretty little chart and all it's arrows prove in relation to this thread?

I have already stated you are arguing semantics with the guy who called you names. Meaning that 'they run' testing isn't the best choice of words, but most knew what he meant. If you are unclear, he means they control the method of testing and interpret the results as they see fit (for starters). So yes, the FDA, Health Canada, KFDA and many other federal Food and Drug organizations/agencies do control testing, to the point of who can be tested and under what circumstances. No one is arguing who administers testing.


Now what is your point?

Rather than blaming the drugs and the 'evil' drug companies, it's quite likely that the drugs just delayed the inevitable.

I think the issue here is that most people prefer the poster to not only post links to substantiate their claims or assertions, but also to actually take the time to formulate and post said assertions. You have not yet done so in any coherent, let alone cogent, form. Should any of my students present an argument in the manner you have, I'd be laying into them just as much for their laziness.

Try stating your propositions clearly, and then lead us down the path of logic to reach the conclusion you have reached. That is what we term a "proof" provided you can use proper logic to move from step to step in your process and that we are able to arrive at the same conclusion you seem to have reached. Personally, I'm not holding my breath.

Right they don't. Neither the FDA or the drugs companies run the study. Doctors, researchers and research hospitals do, WITH THE OVERSIGHT of the FDA.

I'll go for a moderator to cut this, as it speaks to the topic in frightful ways. It's about Illinois, one of the two most restrictive states already, regarding 2nd amendment rights, that now is looking at how to tighten a law that would already be more restrictive than had been.

The same Illinois that had the campus shooting last week.

Illinois' new gun law under scrutiny

By MICHAEL TARM, Associated Press WriterMon Feb 18, 4:35 PM ET

Illinois lawmakers moved swiftly after last year's massacre at Virginia Tech to make it harder for anyone with a history of mental illness to buy guns, fortifying what were already some of the nation's toughest weapons laws.

But the new measure does not take effect until June. And whether it would have prevented last week's bloodbath at Northern Illinois University is far from clear.

Steven Kazmierczak, the 27-year-old grad student who bought an arsenal of guns in recent months and used them to kill five people and commit suicide, had been on medication and was said to have spent time in a psychiatric center as a teen in the late 1990s.

But state Sen. Dan Kotowski, a sponsor of the law that will require more detailed reporting to state officials about those who have received mental health treatment, said the sketchy information about Kazmierczak's medical history makes it impossible to know if he would have fallen under the law.

"This law is more comprehensive than most," the Democrat said Monday. "But everything needs to be evaluated and reviewed to address the problem so that something like this never happens again. This is the promise we have to make." Is he implying that when the legislature gets done with this, we have a 'guarantee' that no longer will this be able to happen?

The measure, when it takes effect, will require health professionals to inform state authorities about patients who display violent, suicidal or threatening behavior. Right now, such information is reported to state officials only on people who have been institutionalized, not on those who receive only outpatient treatment.

Illinois adopted the law last June, and the governor signed it in August.

Virginia lawmakers, meanwhile, still are considering a package of bills to reform that state's mental health system in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, including one that would make it easier to have people involuntarily committed.

The proposals are attempts to reform a mental health system that came under increased scrutiny since a mentally disturbed student, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech in April.

Unlike Cho, Kazmierczak showed few outward signs of trouble. He passed repeated criminal background checks and had a state firearm owner's identification card, which requires applicants to answer a series questions, including whether they have been in a mental hospital in the preceding five years. Authorities say they verify what the applicants put down.

A former employee at a Chicago psychiatric treatment center said last week that Kazmierczak was placed there after high school by his parents. She said he used to cut himself and had resisted taking medications. And Kazmierczak's girlfriend, Jessica Baty, told CNN on Sunday that he had been on an antidepressant but had stopped taking it about three weeks ago because "it made him feel like a zombie."

But even under Illinois' new law, it's not clear whether Kazmierczak said or did anything that would have triggered the reporting requirement and made him ineligible to buy guns.

Some argue the more stringent reporting rules could make it even harder to identify people who might be about to snap.
BINGO!

Gary Slutkin of the Chicago Project for Violence Prevention at the University of Illinois said the rules could have the unintended consequences of discouraging people from seeking help out of fear of being reported. He said that might be especially likely to happen in the case of someone fantasizing about going on a killing spree.

"If you have these ideas, you might be less likely to get help because you know for sure you'll be reported," he said.

Pro-gun forces also expressed skepticism such laws would have done any good in stopping someone like Kazmierczak.

John Boch, like many other gun-rights activists in Illinois, said the answer is for the state to loosen its gun laws, not tighten them, so that students could have been able to shoot back during the NIU attack. Illinois is one of only two states with an outright ban on carrying concealed weapons. Wisconsin is the other.

"This guy at NIU committed murder, for god's sake," Boch said. "What are a few more gun laws going to do to protect human life? There are a lot of laws he violated in killing those kids, but one more law won't make a difference to guys like that."

No they are run by the companies

Run, as in controlled, or dictated. The standards that the tests are compared to are set by the FDA. So they are in control of the test. I.E. They are running things.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Run

76. to manage or conduct: to run a business; to run one's own life. (replace business with test)

Come on Said!

I was right and you guys know it.

The companies pay for and preform the testing and then the FDA reads it and desides what step to take.

They can order more testing , flat deny it, or approve the drug for use.

The FDA does not do the testing and he was wrong.

man people

Context! That is where the issue is. You were correct in discribing the process. But wrong in thinking that the companies are in control. Do you honestly think if Merc gave a halfassed study or one that the FDA felt was not done properly they would approve the drug?
These companies have to follow guidelines and regulations. There are many industries that do the same thing. If it is a safety issue they have to have everything in order or the federal government will not approve.
