Drug implant offers hope, spurs worry-2003
"Researchers said yesterday that they are prepared to seek FDA approval of a surgically implanted tablet that could deliver daily doses of psychiatric medication for as long as a year."
"This is very doable technology," said Siegel, director of the Stanley Center for Experimental Therapeutics in Psychiatry. "It's not the science that is limiting. If there really is interest, then I think drug companies and other groups" would be happy to move forward with implants."
The disk, which could also contain antidepressants or other medications, gradually disappears over the course of a year, slowly releasing the drug as it dissolves.
But Jonathon Stanley, a lawyer and activist whose parents founded the Stanley Foundation after he became severely psychotic as a young man, said he sees the implant as useful only for people who refuse medication.

"Delivering Drugs: The Stanley Center for Experimental Therapeutics Explores New Ways to Treat Schizophrenia
"As many as 80%[of schizophrenics]do not take their medications as prescribed, limiting their effectiveness.
Steven J.Siegel,MD,PhD,Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and the Director of the Stanley Center for Experimental Therapeutics in Psychiatry, is addressing the problem in a fundamental way. For over 5 years, he and his lab team have been developing long-term drug delivery systems that do not rely on the need for patients to make daily decisions to take their medicine."
What does the Stanley Center and TAC have in common?
E.Fuller Torrey, leading authority on Schizophrenia, the doctor of choice for NAMI; and the one who wants FORCED MEDICATION LAWS.
How about a nice under the skin arm disc of Haldol? Why not? drooling, shuffling walks, and stupors ought to do ya just fine sitting in that chair all day. Nice and locked down keeping you away from the societal pressure to conform into the box.
15 minutes to freedom. A little patch under your skin, via scalpel and Big Pharma.
Not to worry, NAMI will be there for you if you decide you want to be med free. [ya think?]
Pharma funded special speakers, Dr. Thase, NAMI, Fuller Torrey, FDA approvals, media hyping stories that send the average citizen running for Haldol Disc petitions for the neighborhood home owners association, to sign the local "crazy" who walks in their neighborhood with a headset on talking to themselves.
Yes, by God, I think that person needs a disk.
"First reported by Dr.Siegal and his Penn colleagues in a 2002 article in Neuropsychopharmacology,...Experimentation with rats and mice has already demonstrated the value of the disc to deliver the antipsychotic agent haloperidol[Haldol]for up to
one year."
Read my notes about how passionate Torrey speaks of Haldol, as the end all be all drug of choice for schizophrenia, due to its anti viral properties, though when I asked him to explain that, he said he could not.[explain why it was an anti-viral]
This goes along with his cat poop T.ghondii viral shit theory as the cause of schizophrenia, and don't forget he used bipolar&schizo in tandem in his power point presentation presented to the public by NAMI.
"The ultimate goal of this translational research venture is to produce an implantable device used in patient care.Once the device is sufficiently refined to warrant clinical trials, the next step is to
"I am hopeful", says Dr.Siegel, "that we will eventually be able to move the concept far
enough that industry will pick up the idea and run with it.
Only a pharmaceutical company can truly effect significant impact on improved therapies
in humans."
Time to wake up here. Pharmaceutical companies have the most significant impact on improving your life. Whether you like it or not. I guarantee, they do not know you.
They do not know your name, care about your mortgage, kids or pets.
They care about $$$$$$.
Think about it. Prisons, state mental hospitals....implants.
Freedom outside of a locked down ward; at what cost.

"Michael E. Thase, MD, has disclosed that he has served as a consultant to AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cephalon, Cyberonics, Eli Lilly, Forest Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Novartis, Organon, Pfizer, Sepracor, Shire US Inc., and Wyeth. Dr. Thase has also disclosed that he is on the speakers' bureau for AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cyberonics, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, sanofi-aventis, and Wyeth."
