(Before It's News)

The alleged Afghan massacre shooter Sgt. Robert Bales, who was charged with 17 counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder, may have been under the influence of a drug which is known to cause severe psychiatric side effects.

The notorious incident sparked a request on March 20 by Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, Jonathan Woodson to order an emergency evaluation of the military’s use of mefloquine. The purpose of the review was to assure troops were not getting the drug inappropriately.

According to the Huffington Post, the task order by Woodson to immediately evaluate the “review of mefloquine prescribing practices” was to be completed six days after the order was delivered.

Mefloquine, the anti-malaria drug and also known as Lariam,has been associated in several suicides and murders, as well as deaths in the US military. Grim psychiatric side effects which include problems with psychotic behavior, paranoia and delusions are some of the complications that arise from the use of Mefloquine.

“Some deployed service members may be prescribed mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis without appropriate documentation in their medical records and without proper screening for contraindications,” the order says.

Although Army and Pentagon officials would not disclose if Bales took the drug due to confidentiality guidelines, media inquiries were referred to Army officials who have yet to comment on the matter.
