Psychiatric side
effects reported
in flu medicine

   WASHINGTON — Food and Drug Administration experts are recommending new label warnings about possible dangerous psychiatric side effects of influenza drugs Tamiflu and Relenza, according to FDA documents.
   The documents, posted Friday on the agency’s Web site, were prepared for a meeting Tuesday of the FDA’s Pediatric Advisory Committee.
   Studies revealed 596 cases in which patients who took Tamiflu experienced “neuropsychiatric events” such as delirium, delusions or hallucinations. The episodes sometimes led to impulsive behavior and self-injury. Tamifl u is made by Roche Holdings.
   The problems tended to occur within 24 hours of first taking the drug, and the majority were in patients younger than 21, mostly in Japan, according to the documents In five cases involving pediatric patients, the reported delirium resulted in death, and there were three reports of suicide in adults.

Well wasn't this a great advertisement for those who enjoy 'recreational drugs'. After reading this article, they won't be able to keep this stuff on the shelves.

Duh.....no kidding.....all these drugs do is turn off our response to viruses and bacteria also 'turning off'/'lowering the volume' of our immune response to them.....so we can go to work again and be more productive.......I guess it would also turn off our other awareness needed to keep our body functioning under our control.....
