Yeah, I think it’s the antipsys. Think they are linked to fibrosis of the heart.

I can’t wait for them to come out with something else. Fingers crossed for the CBD trials.

But it’s linked, though. They’re not sure yet:

I think we need to accept that antipsychotics are flippin dangerous. They cause TD and other movement disorders, plus are now linked to heart problems.

We deserve better, and if we sit here pretending everything is ok then it’s not going to get fixed for us. We should be making more of a scene. Perhaps then more money would get plowed into research.
