One more thing to be aware of or consider when counseling and mentoring your troops; or yourself if you're part of the affected population. This is one off many articles on this subject and one of the few that mentions the connection with "Big Pharma" and possible influence on decision-makers and law-makers.

Great article as it points out the potential dangers of improper management of prescription medication. Consecutive individual and/or family therapy is needed during the initial period of treatment with psychotropic medicine. Therapist are trained to monitor abreaction and side effects that may otherwise go unnoticed. After symptoms are removed or reduced the individual can move into med-managment. I also agree that Ambien is a very dangerous drug. Our Soldiers deserve competent - professional care that promotes their healing and restoration.
