How Accutane ruins lives

Teen who was taking Accutane murdered his two best friends. Does that sound like a normal thing to you? What if you knew these drugs alter brain chemistry? What if you knew this wasn’t the first time? This kids life is ruined because someone didn’t monitor him, listen or given informed consent. The big pharmaceutical companies earning billions do not care about the life of this boy, just like they didn’t care about Traci Johnson. So many are gone due to the abuse of pharmaceutical companies. Companies allowed to make the rules, alter labs, lie and market for profit. That’s not opinion, take a look at the lawsuits. This is only the tip of the iceberg. These parents lost two sons, but really three because he will sit in prison for the rest of his life, because the took an acne medication. Where is the outrage?d

Leona shares: “My cousin ended up at my hospital being wrongly diagnosed as bipolar due to that medication”

Adam reflecting: This teenage shot and killed 2 of his friends. They tried to blame the medication he was on but it didn’t hold up and now he has to spend 50 years in prison. I mean he did kill 2 people. I’ve never heard of that acne medication but for a teenager with no past history, to brutally kill 2 of his friends is very strange.
As the dots are connected.. this is real time advocacy:
Adam starts searching.. “Id bet these “medications” for acne likely caused psychosis and then the rest is history”

Another chimes in : “I’ve heard of it my friend was on it as a teenager, Roaccutane, it’s like high dose vitamin I think and can damage the liver, I’ve recently come across the fact that this can also cause emotional blunting I’d say definitely the meds.”

Adam continues.. “It’s very very rare for a kid to brutally murder his 2 friends like that unless some kind of drugs or alcohol is involved. What’s crazy is there are plenty of cases out there where this happens and nobody wants to recognize the elephant in the room. We just judge the person themselves as if they thought up the idea and premeditated killing someone themselves. We never look at the drug or blame big pharma. These people have to then live with the unspeakable grief from what they did and then lose their freedom forever. It’s all so insane to me.

Yup, it’s the drug 100%. Damn, something as simple as taking a medication for acne can destroy your mind. We are all guinea pigs who take these drugs.

It’s hard living with this knowledge we all have and watching it DESTROY people”
