John is prone to inappropriate bouts of laughter, he hears voices and his right shoulder has developed a stoop.<br /><br />The psychiatrists claim that these are symptoms of schiizophrenia. My question remains...<br /><br /><em><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Why did none of these symptoms manifest themselves prior to John's anti-psychotic drug regime?</span></strong></em><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><strong><em>______________________________________________</em></strong><br /><strong><em></em></strong><br /><span style="color:#009900;"><strong>You are invited to add your comments and to visit our web site @ </strong><strong><a href="http://eyes-open.tripod.com">http://eyes-open.tripod.com</a></strong></span><br /><strong><span style="color:#009900;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="color:#009900;">Please contact us @ </span><a href="mailto:eyes_open_nt@yahoo.com"><span style="color:#ffcc33;">eyes_open_nt@yahoo.com</span></a></strong><br /></div></span></span><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#009900;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11243622-110999417639512214?l=eyes-open-nt.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>eyes-openhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04054622733148454930noreply@blogger.com4
