The Antipsychotic Prescribed To Adam Lanza Has A Troubled History All Its Own
From Drugs.com, side effects of the drug Fanapt: Psychiatric Psychiatric side effects including restlessness, aggression, and delusion have been reported frequently. Hostility, decreased libido, paranoia, anorgasmia, confusional state, mania, catatonia, mood swings, panic attack, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, delirium, polydipsia psychogenic, impulse-control disorder, and major depression have been reported infrequently
In fact, Fanapt was dropped by its first producer, picked up by another, initially rejected by the FDA, then later picked up and mass produced. The adverse side-effect is said to be "infrequent," but still it exists, and can't be ignored. The reaction invoked by the drug in some people is reminiscent of the Jeffrey R. MacDonald case, where a Green Beret slaughtered his entire family and then fabricated a story about a marauding troop of "hopped up hippies".
And that sick woman was letting him play with guns. Dang, I still say that some charge should be placed against the ex husband, he knew of the situation and did nothing.
Has his psychiatrist released his medical records? How is it that anyone knows which medications he was or was not taking? Is there a record of the last blood test he had taken on a specific date that shows what medications were in his blood?
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

Valid question. A search of the home could easily find what meds he was on.

Yes, but no.
It can show what was prescribed, filled and taken home from the pharmacy.
It might not show what was ingested.
A toxicology report would show what was ingested. I'm sure the coroner would attempt that.
What made me question the veracity of claiming what medications he was taking was that this came from the uncle's statement.
An uncle is a bit removed from the boy. He can say what he was told that the boy was taking. But he didn't actually witness the boy take the medication, I don't think.

Zitat Editor's Note: This post originally cited a report in the Daily News that quoted Adam Lanza's uncle as saying he was taking an anti-psychotic drug called Fanapt. The Daily News subsequently deleted the quote. It is now unclear whether Lanza was taking Fanapt.
There is some speculation that the man pretending to be the "Uncle" may be this man, pictured here. I have no idea whether this speculation is true or not, if I see more on it I will update this post. (And, I have no idea as to why anyone would want to pretend to be someone else in this situation and provide (potential) false information!)
This whole thing has been one false report after another, the cops first said the sicko used a pistol. Now I know cops are not the smartest people in the world, but don't you think they should have seen the spent brass laying around and the empty magazines and determined what weapon was used. Just dang, since large capacity magazines are not sold in the state and it is illegal for a mail order company to send them there, if crazy had any they were probably ten round mazazines. Not 30 and forty. Someone is blowing a lot of smoke here.
