From Dr.Ann BLake Tracy:

It is with a great sadness I report to you the tragic death of Chris Brockman. The story from his mother below explains what happened to Chris - a story that has been repeated over and over aganin with these deadly antidepressants. Chris was only 15 when he was given this cocktail of drugs that caused him to act so completely out of character in such a violent way. What we as a society have done to children like Chris is reprehensible!

I would encourage you to send your condolences to his mother, Cynthia, who joined us in Washington, DC last year to testify to the FDA about the dangers of these drugs. She can be reached at the following e-mail address: cab16@myway.com And for the handful of you who are still on this list only to defend your use of these drugs I would ask that you please leave Cynthia alone to grieve for the loss of her son.

In Chris' case I feel responsible in that I did not push even harder for a supportive newsletter to go out to all of the kids stuck in prison for using these drugs that were never approved for use in these children. If this case stirs anyone to offer to help with this project, PLEASE let me know. I DO NOT want to ever see another of these tragedies happen again! The problem is that it is against prison policy for inmates to correspond with one another. As a result there is no way for them to be supportive or to obtain support from those who understand what they have been through more than anyone else on the planet. But they could get a newsletter that discusses what is happening with the cases of others in their position. They could follow the progress of appeals, etc. I think this might have been a help to Chris so that he would not have felt so alone.

Cynthia, together we join in offering you our prayers of comfort.

Dear Cassie,

My sweet, precious son, Christopher Anson Brockman, passed away last night. He had been so depressed and off of his omega-3-fatty-acid found in fish oil for a few months.... I saw him last Sunday and he was not himself. He hung himself last night at 6:52 pm....

Thank you for your prayers.

Love, Cynthia---

My 18 year old son is serving a life sentence for murder that he committed while on Zoloft and Adderall and Risperdal. We grieve not only the tragic loss of life, but also his life sentence for the involuntary intoxication and akathisia adverse effects resulting from iatrogenic phenomenom that caused him to be temporarily insane when he committed his offense. We are on our second appeal request for a new trial. We have post conviction new evidence that after having been discontinued from the akathisia inducing Rx, akathisia symptoms disappeared for almost a year only to reappear when
Zoloft was later readministered. We have no doubt that it was the doctor prescribed medication caused the type of brain damage that destroyed his cognitive and behavioral normal functioning.

We have and are continuing to suffer beyond description from the medical malpractice and negligent prescription of SSRI's and other medications at the hands not only of the free world doctor that initially poisoned my son, but also at the hands of incompetent and negligent doctors in the penal institutions.

When will the pharmaceutical killing fields be stopped? How many more have to die as a result of these defective prescription drug products?

I am a religious volunteer who counsels inmates and am shocked at the number of prisoners who have had catastrophic adverse and toxic reactions to their medication which caused them to commit crimes. They are experiencing some of the same Rx reactions while still on some of the same doctor presribed drugs that sent them to prison.

I will write again.

God Bless You, Cynthia Brockman

Cynthia,

This is Dr. Tracy. I just heard. I am so very sorry to learn about Chris!

This is the most tragic lesson for this group to have happen to help them realize how important this newsletter is that I have begged so many to help with for so very long! For years now I have asked that someone gather info from all those in prison and put it in a newsletter since they cannot write to each other to lend support. I think it would be a big help to all of them to know what others are going through and how their cases are coming along. It would be a type of support for them. They have been left behind and so alone like no one else in these tragedies.

I know there is really nothing to say other than I am just sick to learn of this senseless loss of life. I will reach Rosie, who is currently traveling to visit her sister who is dying of cancer brought on by years of use of an older antidepressant, to let her know. I know she will want to talk to you.

Love,

Ann
