$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'N')ot prozac, luvox. I get the impression that someone was sleeping during the lecture! Konformist certainly isn't the only place to look at for this. I'll bet there are others who have found this case to have more to it than the 'official' version. And we here know better than to go along with the sheeple on everything.
Don't patronise me. I said
Prozac or Prozac equivalent.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')uvox is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that is approved for children and youth (up to age 17) for use in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. However, doctors often give it for depression,
since it is in the same SSRI class as Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil. According to the manufacturer, Solvay, 4% of children and youth taking Luvox developed mania during short-term controlled clinical trials. Mania is a psychosis which can produce bizarre, grandiose, highly elaborated destructive plans, including mass murder. Interestingly, in a recent controlled clinical trial, Prozac produced mania in the same age group at a rate of 6%. These are very high rates for drug-induced mania--much higher than those produced in adults. Yet the risk will be even higher during long-term clinical use where medical supervision, as in the case of Harris, is much more lax than in controlled clinical trials. These drugs also produce irritability, aggression or hostility, alienation, agitation, and loss of empathy.
edit to add - ok, say i buy your case that the gub'mint was secretly behind the columbine tragedy - what's in it for them? wouldn't the government have been able to build bombs that actually exploded or train the killers to build reliable bombs? how do you explain all the videos the killers made? Who benefitted from the tragedy?
