The FDA Issues an Alert on ADD and ADHD drugs

The FDA is a slow-moving, very conservative (in the "careful" sense) organization, so when it issues a warning you better pay attention because the situation is probably much worse. Anyway, on June 28, 2005, the FDA finally ordered labeling changes to methylphenidate [Ritalin] products, including Concerta, to warn that these drugs can cause "psychiatric events." What does that mean? Well here are some of the list: "visual hallucinations, suicidal ideation, psychotic behavior, as well as aggression or violent behavior." In other words millions of kids in this country are taking stimulants that can cause suicide or become psychotic. Why do I say millions of kids? Because these drugs are used to treat the dreamed up mental disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder otherwise known as ADHD or ADD.

The antidepressants used to treat such mental disorders as anxiety disorder and depression have also been found to cause suicide and psychotic behavior in children. So the question becomes: Why are we giving our kids these things?

Tom Cruise, shooting straight


First of all, to set the story straight, Tom Cruise never said Brooke Shields shouldn't take anti-depressants. He stated, rather, that it was irresponsible of her to promote to others that they should use anti-depressants for treating post partum psychosis. And he only said it at all when baited into doing so in an interview.

There was this interesting information I found today on Big Happy Family blog

"Doctor Available to Address the Tom Cruise/Brooke Shields Controversy


Dr. Steven Hotze, author of "Hormones, Health and Happiness," says that in almost all cases, postpartum depression can be treated by balancing a new mother's hormones and without drug intervention.

-- In an interview this past week, Tom Cruise condemned Brooke Shields for taking the antidepressant Paxil during her postpartum depression. Dr. Steven Hotze, author of "Hormones, Health and Happiness," says that in almost all cases, postpartum depression can be treated by balancing a new mother's hormones and without drug intervention.

At the renowned Hotze Health and Wellness Center in Houston, Dr. Hotze and his staff of physicians have found that doing thorough checks of their patients' hormone levels and stabilizing them is much more effective and doesn't put the patient in a dazed drug state.

During pregnancy, the placenta produces massive quantities of progesterone-ten to twenty times the normal amount produced in a woman's body. After the baby is born, the woman's progesterone levels fall precipitously, leading to a state of estrogen dominance and functional hypothyroidism.

Postpartum depression in most cases, says Dr. Hotze, can be treated by taking natural bioidentical progesterone.

"You don't have to go to the measure of taking anti-depressants in most cases, there are natural safe alternatives," said Hotze.

He is available for interviews this week and will be in New York on Friday/Saturday."
