Prescription Med May Have Led to Police Shooting in Normal Heights
This article is VERY inaccurate. The author lists side effects of Carbmazepine as a reason for the death of a mentally ill person who attacked a police officer and was subsequently shot. The listed possible side effects of carbmazepine include suicide NOT homicide. The main reason that suicide is even listed is that the incidence of suicide in mentally ill people is higher than the general population. The man who was shot did NOT attack the police officer because of the medication. More likely this man was still experiencing symptoms of his Illness that caused him to react and behave in an irrational manner. Check your facts. This is irresponsible journalism that could lead mentally I'll or epileptic people to stop taking a drug that is controlling their symptoms.— September 26, 2010 4:30 a.m.
