Advocacy Alert

May 9, 2005

If you are one of my friends in Louisiana, there is a bill going up for a vote before the state house which would prevent doctors from prescribing a-typical antipsychotic drugs without prior authorization from the state government. A-typical antipsychotic drugs have increased the quality of life for so many people by decreasing symptoms and debilitating side effects associated with the old-school anti-psychotics like haldol and thorazine. Please e-mail your house rep. asking that they vote “no” on House Bill 369. If you are not sure who your representative is, use the “Who’s My Representative” tool at house.legis.state.la.us. I recommend choosing the selection that allows you to type in your address. Don’t wait, they vote on this Wednesday, May 11th.

  1. The time on the entries is wrong due to a defect in the software, after each entry you have to go back and edit the time. Just a headsup…
