Confirmed: Navy Yard Shooter Was On Anti-Depressant Trazodone

Drug linked to previous mass shooting despite Washington Post declaring it “safe”

It has been confirmed that Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis was on the anti-depressant drug Trazodone, providing yet another example of a connection between psychiatric drugs and mass shootings.

In verifying that Alexis was prescribed Trazodone by the Veterans Affairs Office, the Washington Post published a brief article downplaying the danger of the drug, quoting Miami physician Gabriela Cora who stated (almost too eagerly), “Honestly, it’s a very safe drug to use.”

However, the drug has been linked to a number of murders, including one mass shooting.

Trazodone is sold under the brand names Desyrel, Oleptro, Beneficat, Deprax, Desirel, Molipaxin, Thombran, Trazorel, Trialodine, Trittico, and Mesyrel. Although not strictly a member of the SSRI class of antidepressants, it shares many of the same properties and also serves to increases the amount of serotonin in the brain.

Despite the Washington Post’s attempts to portray the drug as being safe, it is linked with a whole host of side-effects including suicidal tendencies, panic attacks, depersonalization and anger. Symptoms of Trazodone withdrawal include aggression and violent behavior.

The drug also carries an, “FDA black box warning for suicide, and is documented to cause mania and violent behavior,” writes Kelly Patricia O’Meara.

Several murder cases over the past few years have been directly connected to Trazodone.

- Eight people were killed and one wounded during a mass shooting at a beauty parlor in Seal Beach, California in 2011. The killer, Scott Evan Dekraai, was on Desyrel, a commercial variant of Trazodone.

- In 2009, Perley Goodrich Jr. beat his mother and then shot his father dead shortly after being injected with Trazodone in a psychiatric hospital. Goodrich had complained that he didn’t want to take the medication because it made him feel violent.

- In 2009, Steven Foster shot a gas station attendant in the head before shooting him a second time. Bottles of Trazodone pills were later found in Foster’s room.

- Marine Lance Cpl. Delano Holmes fatally stabbed an Iraqi soldier to death in 2007 after military doctors prescribed him Trazodone.

- Indiana soldier Pfc. David Lawrence was taking Trazodone in combination with Zoloft when he killed a Taliban commander in a prison cell in 2010. Lawrence was charged with premeditated murder. According to the FDA, taking these drugs in combination can cause “altered consciousness, confusion, hallucinations and coma.”

This is interesting given that Aaron Alexis had also suffered from PTSD, blackouts and anger issues years before he began receiving treatment from the VA. Was he on more than just one anti-depressant drug at the time of the rampage?

As we highlighted yesterday, the establishment media has been loathe to make the connection between Alexis’ rampage and anti-depressants, despite hundreds of other cases of suicides, murders and mass shootings linked to psychiatric drugs.

Presumably keen to protect around $ 2.4 billion in advertising revenue that comes from pharmaceutical companies every year, the media failed to even address the question of psychiatric drugs and instead blamed the rampage on the AR-15 assault rifle, which authorities confirm Alexis did not even use.

Confirmed: Navy Yard Shooter Was On Anti-Depressant Trazodone

OK Insurance Commissioner Doak says his ObamaCare “fears have been confirmed”

By Patrick B. McGuigan | Oklahoma Watchdog

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Commissioner of Insurance John D. Doak says individual health insurance premium rates in the state will jump dramatically

DOAK’S WORST FEAR CONFIRMED: Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak says his agency’s “worst fears have been confirmed” concerning the Affordable Care Act. Individual health insurance premiums will jump more than 30 percent in 2014, he said.

in the coming year. The estimate from the state Department of Insurance which Doak administers is based on filings from insurance firms selling health policies in the Sooner State.

This week, Doak said Oklahomans can expect to pay more for policies under the Affordable Care Act’s “federally-facilitated marketplace.”

“Our fears have been confirmed. For some consumers, the cost of health insurance will increase significantly. This is more proof that ObamaCare will hurt Oklahoma families and businesses. I continue to support Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s lawsuit to overturn this overreaching and potentially disastrous federal law,” Doak said.

Pruitt has emerged as a leading national critic of ACA implementation. Under his direction, the state has filed a lawsuit challenging many provisions of the legislation, including the Internal Revenue Service rules punishing “large employers” (including governments) with penalties if exchanges are not created within a state.

Oklahoma is one of 34 states in that category.

While actual rates for individuals will vary depending on factors such as age, location and tobacco use or non-use, the projected cost hikes will include both new policies in 2014 and renewal of existing policies, due to implementation of the federal legislation widely dubbed “ObamaCare.”

According to Doak, the increased rates are driven by:

• The morbidity factor or market risk of guaranteed-issue entrants with no annual or lifetime limits;


• The incorporation of Essential Health Benefits to make plans ACA compliant;


• Taxes and fees being passed through the rates to the consumer.

Frank Stone, chief actuary for the state agency, said, “From an actuarial standpoint, this confirms the obvious. Insurers must increase their premiums due to the additional requirements of ObamaCare.” In the small group market, which has had guaranteed issue in Oklahoma since 1995, the rate hike will range from 10-25 percent, Stone said.

Doak’s staff pointed out that Individual consumers may not have to pay the full premium because of federal tax credit subsidies. As Doak pointed out, the subsidies create “additional hidden cost to Oklahoma taxpayers.”
