Analgesics Linked to Increased Homicide Risk

In what will probably be a complete basis for unlimited income for attorneys, psychotropic medications, including antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and particularly opiate and nonopiate analgesics, are associated with a significantly increased risk for homicide, new research shows.


Jari Tiihonen, MD, PhD, professor, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and colleagues found that antidepressants increase the homicide risk by 31% and that benzodiazepines increase the risk by 45%.


Further, the use of opiate and nonopiate analgesics was associated with a two- and threefold increased risk for homicide, respectively. Interestingly, antipsychotics were not associated with an increased homicide risk.
