    Drs. Hamburg and Sharfstein, newly appointed as Number One and Number Two Top Officials at the Food and Drug Administration, were hopefully listening in or will listen/watch the tape of the April 8, 2009 FDA Psychopharmacologic Meeting. It was held at the Hilton Hotel on Colesville Road in Silver Spring, Maryland, all day from nine a.m. to five p.m.

    Several families from West Virginia, who had driven for hours to attend the meeting and to speak at the Open Public Testimony portion of the meeting, having duly registered in advance, spoke. Each was given three minutes to speak, after which time their microphones were turned off. Even if they were in mid-sentence. Two of the families' sons, Iraq war veterans in their twenties, diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and given the polypharmacy combination of Seroquel and two other drugs, had been found dead in their beds within the year. One young widow showed a tape of her husband and the condition he was in very shortly before he was found dead. It was taken on Christmas Day, and showed a young, overweight man sitting – but barely – in a chair, his head slumped over and his speech unintelligible. The widow described how, when he ate, food fell out of his mouth. She described other behaviors as well and showed pictures of his increasing weight over time while on Seroquel and the other drugs, as well as an increasingly dull look to his eyes.

    I will never forget the tape, or the widow, or the parents of the other boy found dead. Especially as this couple had previously lost another son, killed while fighting in Iraq.
