What Dr. Croft mentioned in terms of the potential for neuropsychiatric effects, the Cochrane review that he mentioned, there's no argument with any of that.
The issue that I think you're bringing up is the question about long-term effects versus short-term effects. The end of my studies, and so on, all manifested the types of short-term effects he talked about. They can't demonstrate long-term effects, because the studies were simply not that long. It's the observational studies that were much longer and it's those studies that could not demonstrate that there was a long-term problem.
Everybody agrees that those effects happen in the short term. In the vast majority of cases, you stop the drug and the side effects go away. I don't generally treat soldiers, but I can certainly understand that if you have those neuropsychiatric effects, you would normally want to stop the drug and choose something else if need be.
However, in the question you're bringing up, I think what you're quoting from is the testimony to the Australian veterans committee.
