This unfortunately not uncommon. Prozac specifically has some dubious issues associated with it. Including insufficient testing due to the high rates of ‘adverse affects’ on the participants. One test had to be stopped due to suicides caused by the drug, that is vastly over prescribed IMO.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. I imagine that he might have put on pants before attacking his parents, too.

The fact that a kid messed up enough to murder his own father was prescriped psychotropic medications seems really unsurprising.

Cyanide might have been a better prescription.

All SSRIs are dangerous.

I take Prozac. I suffered and I do mean suffered with chronic depression and the physical symptoms for years and years. I just could not afford the medication. When pharmacies and stores began offering the $4 programs the first thing I ‘knew’ I needed was something to stop the suffering.

The only problem I have with Prozac is extreme sleepiness. Otherwise, the aches, pains, constant tension, gloominess, crankiness and impatience have lifted. I suffered with those for years. When the medication began to work it amazed me to wake up in the morning and not feel horrible all the time. I wasn’t bouncing off the walls with joy, I just felt normal.

Do not throw the baby out with the bath water.

This kid had many, many other problems obviously. To single out Prozac is silly.

"....started taking a cocktail of street drugs including cannabis, cocaine, crack cocaine and amphetamines...."

Probably had nothing to do with it....yesiree. It was the Prozac.
