Are antihistamines causing murders (and disability) ?
Reading about the desperately sad mother who killed her poor disabled children - made me think about the time I lost my son to social services due to my psychotic depression. When affected I don't notice the dangers of poor housework
In hindsight I blame not just myself, but antihistamines for making a bad situation much worse. Nobody maliciously gets into a mess (Kensington police and social services should note that before terrorising lone mothers)
Everything else is blamed in these situations, from MSBP to (not) alcoholism to slutiness (though I am slatternly, often) to anything 'blameworthy' - but anthistamines - are they ever in question? I think they should be!
So many of us who suffer allergies, think little of popping a tablet to help with runny nose, migraines and rashes - of course the best effect can be had when they are taken as directed - but - should the side-effects claim 'anger' and sudden intolerance to noise/other loss of control? 'Acting on dangerous impulses'?
I wondered why I was feeling acutely angry and upset a few times when my mind was saying different. I am generally a calm, kind and logical person and rarely lose my temper.I have been known to assault a mobile phone but not much else. I Have defended myself in the past but have lost my temper and felt 'super angry' at times and managed to note and direct it - but wondered what it was. It clearly is dopamine related and so I researched my consumables and discovered the antihistamine link.
It might be worth investigating birth defects and associated (parent) acting on dangerous impulses; difficulty falling or staying asleep; aggressive outburst and mood-swings - perhaps 'Bi-polar' is misdiagnosed sometimes where allergies are a major problem? Histamine-deficient mice were indicated in DNA - Tourettes study, which proved a connection.
I wonder if we shouldn't allow these tablets at all in depressed/vulnerable people or pregnant and lactating mothers and to be extra cautious when taking them for headaches and minor allergy symptoms?
Perhaps it isn't the anthistamine's initial (good) reaction to blame but rather when it wears off that causes the real problem? Sudden changes in dopamine?
Sudden increase in dopamine can trigger symptoms of psychosis.
