I under what you're saying but the tone of the post was unpleasant.
>There has been a continual body of reports concerning the combining of psychotropic drugs. The moderator, Dymphna, has listed the class of chemical structure to the different chemicals and I think that indicates a depth of knowlege that could give credibility to his/her statements about the combining of the drugs in question. I also have a strong background in the chemical structure of these mind-altering drugs and have a respect for that moderator's understanding of the combining effects of those chemicals.
> When particular chemicals are combined, they can depress the central nervous system to the point that the person could die. Many celebs are in the news that have died and there were the combinations of drugs that could have caused their deaths.
> Now I think that the moderator of any mental-health forum has not only the duty to point out potentially lethal combinations of drugs, but also if they do not do so that they could be held liable for negligence if they do not point that out if a member dies from a combination of drugs that have been shown to be contraindicated.
> Now the moderator there is IMHO very concientious to point out that one could question the prescribing of the drugs due to the potential to cause death. By doing so, other members could be warned that taking those combinations are listed in the liturature as the moderator posted. The moderator could then be saving lives to post the warning and IMO is in the public's interest.
