In addition to his physical injuries, Zimmerman complained of stress
and "occasional nausea when thinking about the violence." But he was
not diagnosed with a concussion. The doctor noted that it was
"imperative" that Zimmerman "be seen with [sic] his psychologist for
evaluation."
According to the report, prior to the shooting Zimmerman had been
prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, medications that can cause side
effects such as agitation and mood swings
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------- Temazepam Is a powerful sleeping pill.
Chronic insomnia is a major sign of depression and mental illness.
SIDE EFFECTS: Dizziness, loss of coordination, or blurred vision may
occur. To minimize falls, remember to get up slowly when rising from
a seated or lying position. If any of these effects persist or
worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
This medication may make you sleepy during the day. Tell your doctor
if you have daytime drowsiness. Your dose may need to be adjusted.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he
or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk
of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have
serious side effects.
Rarely, after taking this drug, people have gotten out of bed and
driven vehicles while not fully awake ("sleep-driving"). People have
also sleepwalked, prepared/eaten food, made phone calls, or had sex
while not fully awake. Often, these people do not remember these
events. This problem can be dangerous to you or to others. If you
find out that you have done any of these activities after taking
this medication, tell your doctor immediately. Your risk is
increased if you use alcohol or other medications that can make you
drowsy while taking temazepam.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious
side effects occur: confusion, unusual feelings of well-being
(euphoria), uncontrolled movements (tremor), restlessness, memory
loss, sweating, mental/mood changes (e.g., hallucinations,
agitation, anxiety, unusual/disturbing thoughts, depression, rare
thoughts of suicide), increased or vivid dreams, vision changes,
fainting.
Adderall is an amphetamine used to treat Attention Deficit disorder.
Side effects: Constipation; diarrhea; dizziness; dry mouth;
headache; loss of appetite; nausea; nervousness; restlessness;
stomach pain or upset; trouble sleeping; unpleasant taste; vomiting;
weakness; weight loss. Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives;
itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of
the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); blurred vision or other vision
problems; change in sexual ability or desire; chest pain; confusion;
fainting; fast or irregular heartbeat; fever, chills, or sore
throat; new or worsening mental or mood problems (eg, aggression,
agitation, anxiety, delusions, depression, hallucination,
hostility); numbness or tingling of an arm or leg; one-sided
weakness; painful or frequent urination; red, swollen, peeling, or
blistered skin; seizures; severe or persistent headache; severe
stomach pain; severe weight loss; shortness of breath; sudden,
severe dizziness or vomiting; slurred speech; uncontrolled muscle
movement; unusual weakness or tiredness.
So this guy was on amphetamines during the day for attention deficit
disorder (presumably) and a powerful sleeping pill at night so he
can get so sleep and has been seeing a psychologist. As we've been
trying to tell y'all, Zimmerman was nuts.
A nut with a gun...not surpising considering the crazy idiots we see
here posting.
Sounds like we need to tighten up laws for gun purchasing and
ownership.
Requiring a psych test will be a start.
Confiscating firearms from those who fail the psych test would be the
next step.
I'm don't think psych tests for gun purchases would ever work
universally but they certainly would have kept Zimmerman from owning
one.
And you know that.......how?? Have you ever tested Zimmerman or know
anyone who has? If not, how can you be so sure of the results? Personal
experience?

If you are trying find a laundry detergent that removes bloodstains
from clothing......perhaps, the problem is not your detergent...
You need to find a new circle of friends!!!
Sleep well, tonight.....

Because psych tests are commonly used to test subjects before they are
allowed guns.
And misuse of firearms is a side effect of these drugs.
The prosecution will be using this.
Yep. That must be why the rightards are so obsessed with denying
Zimmerman had any mental health or drug issues. They're afraid this
will lead to another mental illness/gun ownership debate and they know
damn well that if a psych test gets implemented for the purchase of
firearms none of them would ever be able to pass.
