I'm biased because I've seen it with my own eyes in my own family and friends. To compare it to blood pressure medicine is ridiculous. Just "Google" SSRI withdrawal and read some testimonies. Different people may have different experiences, but all you need is one bad one to have a massacre at a school.

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.

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?,

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.
