Subject: GunKid on Ritalin
ANOTHER SCHOOL SHOOTER ON PRESCRIBED PSYCHOTROPIC
One month after the school shooting in Littleton,
CO, where the leader of the two dead gunmen was
on the mania-inducing drug Luvox, a youth on the
mania-inducing drug Ritalin went on a shooting
rampage at a high school in Conyers, Georgia. [1]
Ritalin, or methylphenidate, is a stimulant that,
along with methamphetamine, is classified by the
DEA as a Schedule III drug. [2] Ritalin makes
"overactive" kids more manageable and obedient.
However, in some cases Ritalin can induce mania
and "psychotic episodes including hallucinations"
that subside upon discontinuation of the drug. [3]
Research also shows that Ritalin can cause normal
brains to function like schizophrenic brains. As
a study published in the journal "Archives of
General Psychiatry" (9/88, p.827-32) states [4]:
"Methylphenidate induced a pattern of
information processing dysfunction similar
to that seen in schizophrenic patients...
Further, the time course of the observed
deficits in both schizophrenic and methyl-
phenidate-induced states is strikingly
compatible with the temporal mapping
pattern of monoaminergic neuronal systems."
While doctor-prescribed Ritalin use increased
five-fold since 1990 [5], Ritalin is also a
popular drug with students as a means to get
high. As an article at student.com states [6]:
"Some swallow [Ritalin] pills, while others
crush tablets into powder and snort the drug
like they would cocaine. Students report
abuse has become so common -- and students
like the drug so much -- that fraternities
are stockpiling it with the same vigilance
they take to ensure they never run out of beer."
Ritalin is also popular on the "Rave scene,"[7]
and research shows that its mode of action on
the brain is comparable to that of cocaine, [8]
which can also trigger violence in some cases.
