The Mad VA Cocktail

There is one thing the VA likes to do is to make sure our Nations Veterans are drugged up with as many medications as possible. Only masking the problem and not fixing it or finding a cure. Many Veterans end up even more sick from the side effects from these drugs. Some veterans overdose, some commit suicide because they are either too over medicated or the side effects of these drugs.

I have noticed over the years that the VA has no problem writing prescriptions instead of working on the source of the problem. I call these doctors “Pill Pushers”. Travis’ last VA doctor worked hard to wean him off all these drugs, and Travis also fought to stop taking so many everyday. He was down to only 3 drugs before he died.

Below is the list of drugs Travis has taken since he started going to the Bakersfield VA Clinic and then from the Phoenix VA.
