Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil.......Uh-Oh

Those three meds (among others) usually prescribed as anti-depressants, have side-effects.

... AbleChild would suggest that rather than apologize for making a connection between antidepressants and mass violence, the Secretary should immediately set up a commission to review the numerous instances of mass violence perpetrated by too many on psychiatric medications.

For instance, in 1989 Joseph Wesbecker shot twenty coworkers, killing eight of them before killing himself. Wesbecker had been on Prozac for a month prior to the shooting. Andrea Yates, a 36-year-old mother and registered nurse drowned her five children while on a cocktail of Haldol, Cogentin, Effexor and Wellbutrin. Then there is 16-year-old Jeff Weise from the Red Lake Indian Reservation in Red Lake, Minnesota, who shot his grandfather and girlfriend then killed 7 people at Red Lake High School before committing suicide. Weise had been on Prozac. And, finally, it is important to remember James Holmes, the Aurora Colorado theatre shooter who killed 12 and injured 70 while on Zoloft....

RFKjr is taking steps to eliminate 'over-prescribing' these drugs (and others.)

That leads to the question:  "What IS 'overprescribing'?"

Hmmmm.
