The Dangers of Anti-Depressants

April 16, 2007; Blacksburg, Virginia: Seung-Hui Cho goes on
a rampage, killing 33 and wounding more than 2 dozen
students. A search of his belongings reveals he was using
anti-depressants.

April 20, 1999; Littleton, Colorado: Eric Harris and Dylan
Klebold, armed with knives, guns and bombs kill 13 students
at Columbine High School and wound 23 before killing
themselves. Eric Harris was taking Luvox. Dylan's medical
records were suppressed.

Just two of numerous incidents where the perpetrators were
sedated on anti-depressant drugs. The FDA requires SSRIs
carry a black box label warning about the risk of suicidal
tendencies and violence especially in teen aged youths.
Murder, suicide and bizarre behavior is linked to
anti-depressants. Despite these dangers, doctors continue
to prescribe these drugs on a consistent basis.

September 14, 1989: Joseph Wesbecker went to work sporting
an AK-47 and killed 8 employees and wounded 12 before
committing suicide. He was taking Prozac.

Of course, young people aren't the only ones to suffer the
mind-altering effects of anti-depressants. Murder and
violence have occured in the workplace too. The
perpetrators can be full-grown adults.

November 14, 1991: Thomas McIlvane, an ex-postal worker
shot 9 people and killed three at his former workplace. He
shot himself in the head. He was taking Prozac.

With so many facts you have to wonder why such drugs are
still on the market. Despite the mounting evidence, some
states require children be tested for depression so they
can be prescribed anti-depressants. No one is immune, not
even the elderly!

January 10, 2001: 81-year-old Anthony Dalesandro stabbed
his wife with a kitchen knife while she was sleeping.
They'd been married 50 years. He was taking several
medications including Prozac.

Such violence isn't limited to shootings and stabbings.
Arson has been one of the major acts of violence where
innocent people burned to death.

April 2, 1997: Christopher Hogan and his cousin set fire to
an apartment building where three people died. Chris was
taking Prozac and Ritalin.

What does it take for America to realize the danger of
these drugs? There are alternatives. Depression can be
treated naturally with St. John's Wort with no side
effects. Yet no one stands up and sound the alarm while
many people die at the hands of drug infused relatives and
friends.

November 16, 2005: Frank Sanabria attacks police with a 15
inch kitchen knife. He was shot dead. He had just been
prescribed Wellbutrin.

There's only one reason why such dangerous drugs are still
on the shelf. They pull in billions of dollars for the drug
companies that manufacture them. And a cash cow Big Pharma
is not willing to give up so easily. When it comes to a
choice between preserving life or making unheard of
profits, Big Pharma is prepared to ignore the evidence. Big
Pharma is engaging in criminal activity.

April 14, 2000: Elizabeth Cooper, a respected teacher, sets
15 fires and committed a string of robberies over a
two-week period. She ran her car into a house. It was found
that she had been taking anti-depressants over that same
two week period.

We have laws against drinking and driving. We have
independent review boards that look into the details of why
a plane goes down killing its passengers. Yet no one looks
into why violent behavior kills so many.

March 10, 1998: Jeffrey Franklin killed his parents with a
hatchet and tried to murder three of his siblings. He was
taking Ritalin, Prozac and Klonopin

The frightening thing, of course, is that you likely know a
friend or family member who is using anti-depressants.
Whether you prefer to think about it,you could be the next
victim of a bizarre murder/suicide by a close relative high
on drugs.

Unless something is done, more people will die needlessly.
