Here's some side effects:
Psychiatric side effects including restlessness, aggression, and delusion have been reported frequently. Hostility, decreased libido, paranoia, anorgasmia, confusional state, mania, catatonia, mood swings, panic attack, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, delirium, polydipsia psychogenic, impulse-control disorder, and major depression have been reported infrequently.

(4,959 posts)"Adam Lanza's mother had been increasingly concerned over her son's well-being in the weeks before the tragedy, telling a friend just a week before that he was "getting worse" and that "she was losing him," the New York Daily News reported. That report makes no mention of Asperger's syndrome, but it cites Adam's uncle who said he was taking an anti-psychotic drug called Fanapt. The Atlantic points out that several diagnoses have been bandied about in the press, including autism, Asperger's, and "personality disorder.""

(373 posts)Is there a retraction?
New York Magazine still has it in their news article. I will wait for them to call the Daily Mail and ask why they removed it.
I really would like to hear from extended family if this 20 year old has been taking psychiatric medicines for decades or what?
Did he just start taking something new? His mother said he was going downhill fast, like she was losing him.
This media cannot be trusted- remember the election? Remember the last twelve years??

(373 posts)They blasted the 'fact' that it was some teacher and her son responsible for all the killing, for hours on end with absolutely nothing to back it up. It was almost as if they were continuing their teacher bashing meme just because.
But they can't do a bit of fucking research into what drugs this kid was on?

(2 posts)The only original source of the Fanapt claim, was ex con and serial litigant "Illuminati" true believer Jonathan Lee Riches.
He posed to the press as "Jonathan Lanza" the fake uncle of the shooter, and his quote to the press, was first put in the NY Daily News, which then later removed all trace of the story.
It was picked up, and disseminated, by various other sites, but I thought you should know what happened here.
Jonathan Lee Riches has inserted himself into the Arizona shooting, and the Colorado shooting, via frivolous lawsuits.
He "punked" the media on the weekend, by driving to Sandy Hook, and planting false leads about Fanapt, among other things he said....

Getty Images has press photos of this man, this fraud, at the scene, the man's own youtube channel shows him wearing the same clothes, hat, beard, and watch, driving his car in Newtown, and also placing a hoax call about the "New World Order" to Ryan Lanza, the shooter's brother.

Below, Jonathan Lee Riches, a young bearded man in hat, burns a photo of Sandy Hook. This is the same man who claimed to the press to be "Jonathan Lanza", appearing in his late 20s, he was claiming to be the brother of the shooters parents, both in their 50s.
Here he is placing calls to the real shooter's brother...
Here he is on twitter admitting to "trolling" the media https://twitter.com/johnnysuenami
The most disturbing video of all, the hoaxer driving in Sandy Hook to the Lanza home, with teddy bears with Adam and Ryan Lanza's face stuck on them...
Official police statements have said no medication was found in the home. The toxicology from the autopsy is not back.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/12/18/Police-Find-No-Evidence-Lanza-Was-On-Medication
It seems the very disturbed Jonathan Lee Riches, who believes Adama Lanza was "mind controlled" believes this "mind control" happened though Fanapt.

(146,351 posts)it was a hoax. The media picked it up and treated it like real information in their frenzy to publish anything they could find. Nobody knows whether the shooter had been diagnosed with anything, much less whether he was taking any medications. We will probably find out, in time. In the meantime, the shooter is still dead. That we know is true.
