Re: Andrea Yates being "an unmedicated psychotic...," she was actually both an improperly as well as grossly overmedicated psychotic. In this regard, she had been weaned off of the anti-psychotic drug she had been taking for quite some time just a few weeks prior to killing her children and, worse yet, had been prescribed and was taking two times the set maximum dosage of Effexor, an anti-depressant drug that the FDA only recently (within past year) determined has such a high incidence of causing homicidal ideations that the manufacturer should be (and, in fact, already has been) ordered to include warnings re same on package labels as well as the detailed product inserts sent to physicians and pharmacists.Originally Posted by Yekhefah
