Having tweeted two articles on this front today I have decided to reblog a post of mine from August 2015
Dementia: Sharing The Good Times
More on the dangers on using risky drugs for dementia from an article by Irving Kirsch in New Scientist. I make no apologies for continuing to use Irving as a resource on this Blog. I am pretty certain if I had not read his book: The Emperors New Drug I would have remained on mirtazapine for life.
The overmedication of patients dealing with dementia is unfortunately very common, and yet it is so unnecessary!

Totally unnecessary and life threatening. Thank goodness for the likes of Irving Kirsch who never let up on the wild claims of drug companies.
