Here are the most recent drug related drug warnings posted by the FDA. Not all of these drugs are psychiatric meds but quite a few are. Please read the new warnings and tell your friends who are on or considering taking any of these drugs to become informed. Most likely their doctor either won't know about these warnings or will downplay them based on pharmaceutical representative's sales pitches.
