On the way to the bathroom Cho bumped into his roommate Karan Grewal. As usual, Cho didn’t try to speak to him or even nod hello. He swallowed his antidepressants, put on his contact lenses and applied his spot cream.

I find this interesting. I recall around the time of the Columbine shootings reading several articles about the psychotic side effects of some antidepressants - specifically those that the shooters there were taking, as were a couple of other school shooters around that time. Apparently, psychotic visions of mass murder and suicide are documented in the medical literature.

Does anybody else remember reading about this? Has anybody read what drugs he wa taking?

I haven't read what he was taking, but yes, there has been some correlation with increased suicide and other abnormal behavior in some who take SSR's (Prozac, etc). Phil Hartman's wife killed him and herself while on Prozac. The family sued the maker and they settled for a lot of money. I know at some point they said Klebold (I think it was him and not Harris)at Columbine was on Prozac, but I can't remember whether that was true or if he had stopped.
