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.

You are absolutely RIGHT.

Prozac in particular has WARNINGS in the packaging about this kind of thing. My beighbor across the street who was prescribed to take it - read through it, showed me and I told her THROW THAT CRAP OUT! She did. She was simply going through a bad time and need HUMAN CONTACT not CHEMICALS for comfort.

Most of the school shooters were on Prozac or similar SSRI type drugs. The press doesn't advertise that detail as it interferes with their agenda that "guns are bad".

Yeah, I’m sure the crack and the meth he was taking had nothing to do with it.

Sounds like the kid had the sort of problem prozac doesn't fix.

It's not the medicine that's the problem here, it's the quality of the diagnostic ability of the doctor.
