Do the Google search and then decide if the Pharma companies would tell you if it posed a threat. Did your doctor, before prescribing, find out if you were just a little "blue", or had you threatened to drown your babies like the Houston mother did? Most women feel a let down after childbirth until their hormones adjust. Women have gotten along just fine for thousands of years without SSRI's after childbirth. The woman in Houston that drowned her children was just off her SSRI's. How many of these stories did we hear about before say, 1980? How many now, after SSRI's?
To just believe that somehow people are just different today, is naive. Is there any government agency keeping track of murderers and suicides are on or off meds at the time?
Whether you believe it or not, don't you think it's worth looking into before we ban the second amendment? I'm 56 years old and when I was growing up, I took my guns to school to hunt after school. I walked downtown with guns over my shoulder many times walking from the Army-Navy Store( where I bought ammo) to home and to the Texas City Dike and the city dump. Nobody ever thought a thing about it. I belonged to a gun/shooting club when I was 9 years old and carried my gun to the ice house to shoot competition. Nobody ever shot anybody and suicides were few and far between. Today, I'm frightened to even put a gun in a car in case someone may see and call the cops on me. If you see your neighbor putting his gun in his car and it's not hunting season, do you secretly wonder if he's going to a school or a mall to get even with his wife for a cold dinner? Times have changed, but I think people have changed more. Just like the Freeper that had Oxycontin offered for pain, in the old days, you just took some asprin and maybe a hit of Black Jack for good measure. Now, when you walk in the door, you walk out with a scrip for SSRI's because you don't "feel" good.
Well sure. And some people die from taking arthritis meds. Some have bad reactions to Cialis. There are extreme cases in any medication.
And it most certainly is comparable to thyroid medication or blood pressure medication if you suddenly stop cold turkey and measure your negative symptoms. I don't recommend anyone abuse their medications by taking them improperly and that includes suddenly stopping SSRI's.
The nasty symptoms you describe from going off of SSRI's too fast does not indicate addiction, as you claimed.
You cannot deny that ALL school shooters have either been on SSRI's or getting off of them. They are anti psychotics and change your brain chemistry( I believe forever).
They are not anti-psychotics. I've taken those and they are NOT anywhere the same. Clearly, you don't know what you are talking about if you are labeling them as anti-psychotics and claiming they are addictive. Change your brain chemistry forever?? Hah. I've had no problems with my brain chemistry since discontinuing them. Anti-pharma crap studies are cheap and easy to come by.

Again, you don't know what you are talking about. Andrea Yates had been off of or undermedicated for years based upon her physician's claims. The woman was clearly ill and her physician told her to go home and "think happy thoughts." Maybe if she had been put on an SSRI, that would have been a start.
And while I'm not going to discuss my physican with a kook like you but suffice it to say that my condition required two weeks hospitalization and 3 weeks of intensive outpatient care. This was no ordinary case of baby blues and my life, as well as that of my family's, was very much in danger. I'll spare you the nasty details but thank anyone I had a competent physician.
I would encourage you to continue researching the subject.
