Don’t know anything about it… a guy I knew long ago took some sort of drug for acne. I read the insert that listed all the potential side-effects. It was a list that you unfolded until it was about five feet long. For some reason I remember the possible side-effects including heart attack, nosebleeds, dizziness, convulsions, and included death. Literally a list four or five inches wide by about five feet long that included pretty much anything you could think of. I distinctly remember thinking that I’d rather just have the acne.
I sort of find it hard to believe that similar lists aren’t included with these medicines.

The most popular pills are Zoloft, made by Pfizer; Paxil, made by GlaxoSmithKline; and Prozac, made by Eli Lilly & Company. In 2002, nearly 11 million children and teenagers were prescribed antidepressants. And why then is our current adminstration pushing mandatory mental health screening and pushing more pills on our kids...
Of course mandatory mental health screening is also on the docet for all adult US citizens as well...
Soma time...and the living is easy....

They have been running a story about this for the last two mornings on NPR. My 14 yr old daughter is getting ready to go on them, along with a heavy program of talk therapy. The percentage rate of suicide attempts for teens is somewhere around 1.79%......still enough to be cautious.

Gives 'em just enough presence of mind to do the deed, eh?

Hard to say, the drugs do affect people differntly.
Had a bad time with a bit of depression in the past, very light dosage of Effexor XR worked wonders for my life.

But Dr. Temple speculated that some people taking the pills become suicidal because they are actually getting better. As their depression improves, he said, they gain the energy to act on suicidal thoughts that their illness had suppressed.Huh....

FYI -- Looks like there will be black box suicide warnings for SSRIs & children.......14 years after the first hearings on this issue.
