Medication Madness Book Review by Dr. John Breeding
Dr. John Breeding Ph.D. Psychologist reviews the book “Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications” by Dr. Peter Breggin.
Medications for everything from depression and anxiety to ADHD and insomnia are being prescribed in alarming numbers across the country, but the cure is often worse than the original problem. Medication Madness is a fascinating, frightening, and dramatic look at the role that psychiatric medications have played in fifty cases of suicide, murder, and other violent, criminal, and bizarre behaviors.
As a psychiatrist who believes in holding people responsible for their conduct, the weight of scientific evidence and years of clinical experience eventually convinced Dr. Breggin that psychiatric drugs frequently cause individuals to lose their judgment and their ability to control their emotions and actions. Medication Madness raises and examines the issues surrounding personal responsibility when behavior seems driven by drug-induced adverse reactions and intoxication.
Dr. Breggin personally evaluated the cases in the book in his role as a treating psychiatrist, consultant or medical expert. He interviewed survivors and witnesses, and reviewed extensive medical, occupational, educational and police records. The great majority of individuals lived exemplary lives and committed no criminal or bizarre actions prior to taking the psychiatric medications.
Medication Madness reads like a medical thriller, true crime story, and courtroom drama; but it is firmly based in the latest scientific research and dozens of case studies. The lives of the children and adults in these stories, as well as the lives of their families and their victims, were thrown into turmoil and sometimes destroyed by the unanticipated effects of psychiatric drugs. In some cases our entire society was transformed by the tragic outcomes.
Many categories of psychiatric drugs can cause potentially horrendous reactions.
Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Xanax, lithium, Zyprexa and other psychiatric medications may spellbind patients into believing they are improved when too often they are becoming worse. Psychiatric drugs drive some people into psychosis, mania, depression, suicide, agitation, compulsive violence and loss of self-control without the individuals realizing that their medications have deformed their way of thinking and feeling.
This book documents how the FDA, the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry have over-sold the value of psychiatric drugs. It serves as a cautionary tale about our reliance on potentially dangerous psychoactive chemicals to relieve our emotional problems and provides a positive approach to taking personal charge of our lives.

It’s alarming to …
It’s alarming to hear from this that our health care system isn’t dealing with the problem of mental health correctly. Therapy really is a great way to deal with these types of problems. Take a note of that all you parents who are looking for an answer to your childs problems. Don’t think quick fix, your child’s not a car.
yeah the sect is …
yeah the sect is the pharmalogical conglomerate that we give our unfortunate trust in.. not me anymore..
This dr supports …
This dr supports scientology: the dangerous cult.
Inform yourself please before being a prey. Too many victims of sects .
you are right!!
you are right!!
people don’t need …
people don’t need these pills. they just think they do because the doctor tells them it will help.
life is stress. stress is life.
do not add pills if you don’t have to.
it could cost you your life.
Your wrong. I …
Your wrong. I witnessed the beginning of this mess with these drug induced suicides years ago. not knowing the dangers of these drugs..is what changed my sister 100% and the withdrawl killed her! this i am sure. so you should really look more into this subject. I will speak for my sister and all others lost to suicide due to these drugs.
i saw her change. i saw it all i found her dead..and wanted answers almost 3 decades ago! today i have them!!
thanks for sharing …
thanks for sharing love Dr. Breeding’s spots. No one needs medication to deal with depression, you can deal with it without all the chemicals that is fact.
‘And it seems to me …
‘And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda, brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods.’
Aldous Huxley, 1959
In the UK 20 years …
In the UK 20 years ago 1 in 30 children entering school had a medical problem that required medication.
Today 3 out of every 5 entering school now has a problem.
How and why?
Acute episodes of psychological illness now have their symptoms treated with drugs.
This turns an acute episode into a chronic debilitating condition because the cause is not treated.
This makes the pharmaceutical companies lots of money and hence the governments from their taxes.
Sickness, real or imposed, is profitable.
this dr supports …
this dr supports scientology. Beware of this sect.
And this continues …
And this continues everyday because it is easier to blame someone else for our troubles and take a pill then to do the legitimate work of therapy and deal with the problem without changing our brain chemistry. And this is endored by the companies making Billions from it.
That reminds me of …
That reminds me of highschool. Twice they insisted I get counseling and treated me like some sort of wounded bird just because I was shy and quiet.
Would being ” …
Would being “spellbound” be something like the effects of LSD?
I always thought medication to treat depression was like putting a picture in front of a hole in the wall. It doesn’t get rid of the problem, just makes it appear to be gone. It’s no way to fix the deep emotional problems CAUSING the depression. This whole “chemical imbalance” thing reeks of bullshit to me. If you’re depressed of course your brain chemistry is going to reflect that.
same!
same!
OMG!!! It was …
OMG!!! It was Ambien. Afer I took it I went into deep depression, anxiety attacks…. I just read up on the side effects. No clue it effected folks that way. I took a 30 day supply over about 6 months. Certainly low dosage. But the only thing different was that, and I HAD NO CLUE!!!!
ok if you’re going …
ok if you’re going to argue semantics…i a partial chemist, not qualified but i know what i say when i say there is ionic fluoride (like that put in the water) and there is covalent fluoride (like that which makes up organic compounds). There is also elemental fluoride, but thats neither natural nor useful
while they are the same nucleus they are in very different situations. Yeah I’m sure fluoride salts are psychoactive, but that psycho activity need not be reflected in the covalent forms
I try to never take …
I try to never take ANY medication, not even Tylenol.
RawBurrito, thats …
RawBurrito, thats called withdrawl getting back on the drug was like getting a fix.
“I was told of this …
“I was told of this entire scheme by a German chemist who was an official of the great IG Farben industries and was also prominent in the Nazi movement at the time. I say this with all the earnestness and sincerity of a scientist who has spent nearly 20 years research into the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology and pathology of fluorine–any person who drinks artificially fluorinated water for a period of one year or more will never again be the same person mentally or physically.”
“When the Nazis …
“When the Nazis under Hitler decided to go into Poland, both the German General Staff and the Russian General Staff exchanged scientific and military ideas, plans, and personnel, and the scheme of mass control through water medication was seized upon by the Russian Communists because it fitted ideally into their plan to communize the world. … “
First of all, …
First of all, fluorine is elemental. Not fluoride. I don’t care to argue the chemistry with you though, because I am not a chemist, and neither are you if you don’t know the difference. What I do have is historical documentation and quotes from nazis that they were using massive doses of FLUORIDE in WATER to drug people……
theorganichispanic; …
theorganichispanic;
the main ingrediant in fluox is carbon and hydrogen…and to be exact, the main properties of fluox comes from its structure, the functional groups (CF3 Trifluromethane) add to it they don’t create it
that is elemental/ …
that is elemental/ionic flouride (what the nazis use, whats in the water) versus covalent fluoride (whats in prozac…but NOT other SSRI’s). It’s almost like saying that my protein bar has all the components of cyanide therefore the companies are trying to kill the strong
I’ve been tapering …
I’ve been tapering myself off zyprexa for about 6 months now. Was taking half a 10mg tablet most of that time (which I understand is equivilent to 3mg (60% of 5mg)
I am sleeping, although have a very cracked out feeling…go through periods of lethargy and hyperactivity…lots of teeth grinding. Not sure what to do at the moment, any suggestions to alleviate withdrawal would be great
