hard to find death stats in the US. Apparently we aren't reporting numbers. The Aussies are with kids and serotonin syndrome (same horse different color). SS (serotonin syndrome), NMS, DAWS all very similar. This article quoted 1500 children's deaths so the numbers are very high if this isolated group is high. I see lots of numbers quoting percentages of death and this can't be from 5 patients.
This is why they stopped sinemet vacations. Too many deaths. This is not a small or rare problem as the US reports seem to indicate (or just not report).
We still have to realize that sinemet and other drugs cause disfiguring and disabling side effects worse than PD in some cases like tardive dyskinesia. See article

Good article describing symptoms of NMS

It seems anytime we severely mess with our neurotransmitters that we expose ourselves to a huge set of deadly side effects. PD doesn't kill people so it makes me truly wonder are the risks of these drugs worth it unless we are truly at the place of last resort.
One article quotes "The evidence is mounting that a scandal is brewing that will rival Big Tobacco's." So my challenge is can anybody find death statistics here in the US because I cannot. reference to quote

The more I read and the more permanent damage I see that occurs like muscle, kidney, organ damage I wonder what this detox is REALLY doing. There are apparently a lot of blood tests out there to test for all sorts of blood toxicities but none have been discussed or tested for me. Especially detailed in the medfriendly article above. There are tests and ways to check these things but I can't find a single doc with the expertise. Lots of publishing lots of studying--no practical application.
We've all heard about reglan and TD this doesn't seem too far from that level of death and destruction of families.
