Before Prozac these kids were found hanging in their closets or with their brains blown out in their bedroom. Now they are found surrounded by the people they perceive as causing their pain.

From what the media reports, this young man had severe problems befor prozac and the medication clearly did not help him. However, the lack of any positive benefit does not necessarily indicate any negative influence. In the words of the Indian Chief in the movie "Little Big Man", "Sometimes the Magic works, sometimes it doesn't."

If he was crazy he should have been on many other meds besides Prozac. But always remember the Liberals invented "mainstreaming".

My wife has a balance problem called vascular loop for which she takes Neurontin. The doctor also keeps trying to put her on Prozac. The one time she was on Prozac, I was really afraid she was going to kill me or herself. I flushed the Prozac and after her mind cleared informed her what it was doing. She went back to the doctor and told him where to stuff his Prozac.

I had atypical seizures misdiagonsoed as as depression.
Put on prozac equivalent.
Dangerous stuff.
I can see how it could lead to killing people.

Exactly.
How many people do we know who SHOULD BE on an antidepressant and refuse.
But antidepressants can't fix every problem. Sometimes the damage is to advanced to fix with an antidepressant.
From what I understand, this kid needed more than any lay person could give.
