This blog is mostly about the dangerous off-label use of the sleeping pill Halcion/triazolam as a dental sedative and the hell it has put my daughter and me through.
This post focuses on another psychotropic drug and the story of Matt Steubing, who jumped from a bridge to his death after taking Lexapro.
Lexapro has also been damaging to my daughter. She had first developed a serious life-threatening change in thoughts and personality after her dentist overdosed her with Halcion following a head injury.
After Halcion caused her to develop severe anorexia, anxiety, insomnia and disturbing thoughts,
Trazdone, which was given for the insomnia, finished her off.
It took two years of diet, rest, vitamins and homeopathics to bring her back, and then, after all that progress in recovery, Lexapro and Wellbutrin caused her to relapse profoundly and are responsible for the horrible situation she is in now, mostly because of local Dept of Social Service’s ignorant involvement and unwillingness to look at the facts about adverse drug reactions.
Matt’s story is now part of a documentary featuring his mother’s search for the cause of his death and the real story behind these psychotropic drugs.
Below is a link to Glen Smith’s coverage in the Post & Courier, and below that is a link for viewing the video online– it’s very well-done and well worth the watch. It could save your life, and if enough people see it, perhaps together we can save our country and its future.
