VT Cho Meds Still Secret

Cho's roomates reportedly saw him taking his meds every morning in the weeks before the killings. I have never seen it disclosed in the news what meds he was taking.

Cho identified as VT shooter - News

Article on Anit-Depressants and School Shootings.
Psychiatry Creating School Violence

Before starting this thread, I searched for Cho's name in this category, US Political Scandal Du Jour, but found no threads.

Shoortly after the VT shootings, the FDA raised the warnings for anti-depressants to 23 years old, up form 19.

The Phramaceutical industry is powerful.

Re: VT Cho Meds Still Secret

The meds someone is taking, especially those for mental problems, are a very private matter. Someone in the medical field can be fined up to $250,000 and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison for unauthorized disclosure.

Why do you think the public has any need to know what meds he was taking? There are updates in the medical literature all the time about adverse effects of drugs and they are much more accurate than the sensationalism some idiot reporter would write in a general circulation paper or some pretty TV anchornan would read from a teleprompter.

If your doctor prescribes you a new drug, question him about it's side effects and do some research before taking it.


BTW, thought I better add, I have no financial connection to the pharma industry. I do use some of their products.
