Apparently, the meds didn't work.

It worked, but not the way it was intended. It seems mostly all of the school shooters were taking these SSRIs like Prozac. These drugs just received BLACK BOX warnings mandated by the FDA because a review of all the testing showed an increase in suicidal ideation after starting one of these drugs or increasing the dosage. These possible acts of violence are most likely to happen after starting one of these drugs or increasing the dosage for a period up to about 6 weeks. The kid who killed his grandparents in South Carolina just had his dose increased a few days before he killed them. There was another murder of family members out west that I read about. The drug maker was successfully sued, IIRC.

Thank you.

The whole thing is just sad.
