Andrea Yates

Drugged. Cold turkey. Increased, decreased. Russian routlette with her head.
Postpatrum pyschosis- why? Look at all these drugs! She presented as drugged and the answer was to ADD more drugs. Zoloft and a knife.

Family history-siblings-3 of them have “mental health” issues. What if they aren’t absorbing a vitamin/mineral correclty? There is a PATTERN with 4 people in the same family suffering.

Back to Andrea. She was on 450 Mg of EFFEXOR, and a slew other psychiatric drugs.

On 08/09/99-At discharge, Mrs. Yates’ prescribed medications were Haldol 5 mg per
day, Cogentin 2 mg per day, Effexor XR 150 mg per day, and
Wellbutrin 300 mg per day.
Mrs. Yates told me that she had the onset of two new symptoms
during this admission. She experienced a hypnopompic hallucination
on one occasion, while awakening from sleep:
. . . they had given me some medicine, and I lay down for
a nap, and I was kind of in between staying asleep and
awake, and I thought I heard some voices come from the
wall, and uh, I thought the voices said in a growl, in a
gravelly voice, I thought he said, “Andrea, come here,”
and I got up out of bed, and I turned to the wall, and I
said, “What do you want?” and that’s all of that exchange.
The voice went away. And I believe it was Satan calling
me. [P. 88.]
This, she said, was the first time in her life that she had ever heard a
voice [p. 88]. She was afraid to tell anyone about this experience at
the time, but she did tell Rusty about it after being discharged and
living in the house [pp. 88-89.]
