European Commission Recommends: No Child Be Prescribed These Psychiatric Drugs
The Citizens Commission on Human Rights has reported that Europe’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has issued extremely strong warnings stating no child or adolescent should be prescribed SSRI antidepressants or the “ADHD� drug Strattera.
The European Commission confirming the recommendation of the Europe’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has just issued the strongest warnings against child antidepressant use to date. This follows review of clinical trials that shows these drugs cause suicide and behavior like: aggression, anger and self-harm Some examples of the drugs covered by this warning are: Paxil, Effexor, Prozac, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Zoloft, Remeron, and Strattera. With these awful side effects, the agency said they should not be prescribed to children.
An estimated 17 million children worldwide are prescribed some type of powerful mind altering psychiatric drug.
Ms. Jan Eastgate, international president of CCHR, The Citizens Commission on Human Rights, says: “These drugs are being approved for use in the treatment of wholly fabricated ‘disorders’ that psychiatrists are using to hook millions of kids on dangerous drugs. In the wake of the FDA warnings, the American Psychiatric Association president Steven Sharfstein finally admitted that there is no lab test to determine that a chemical imbalance exists for which these drugs are prescribed. If psychiatrists had their way—and based on their own statistics—over 107 million kids would be on psychiatric drugs worldwide. These warnings—which in Europe will encompass 25 countries—may stem the tide of drugging innocent children, but the drugs should never have been approved for pediatric use in the first place. “
“These are potentially killer drugs and they should never be prescribed to children,� said Ms. Eastgate
