Wait... aren't most people who commit suicide depressive? Wouldn't it then stand to reason that they were taking antidepressants?
So maybe the antidepressants are more of a symptom than the cause?
I mean, dead people don't spend money to obtain the pills, so wouldn't it be a little contraproductive for big pharma to kill such reliable customers?
Or did I miss something?

The latest figures show we are going to be reduced down to 500,000,000 people.
So, 6 billion people are going to die looks like!
Justice will prevail!
Good WILL ALWAYS triumph over evil.

The Journal said the documents, reportedly missing for a decade, had formed part of a 1994 lawsuit against Eli Lilly on behalf of victims of a workplace shooting in Louisville, Ky. Joseph Wesbecker, the gunman who killed eight people and himself in 1989, had been prescribed Prozac a month before the shootings.
Eli Lilly won the case, but later disclosed it had settled with the plaintiffs during the trial.
PROZAC FACTS
WHAT IT IS: In 1987, Prozac became the first of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors to be approved for use in the United States. This new class of drugs is believed to help regulate mood by increasing the availability of serotonin in the brain.
WHO SELLS IT: Eli Lilly and Co. makes Prozac, its brand name for the drug fluoxetine (floo OX e teen). However, many generic equivalents became available after the company's patent ran out in August 2001. Additionally, fluoxetine is sold under the brand name Sarafem to treat women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
WHO USES IT: Prozac is used to treat clinical depression, bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder. Prozac has been approved and marketed in more than 90 countries and used by more than 40-million people worldwide.

The best circumstantial evidence for the connection is before these drugs were around school shootings simply didn't happen.
Running amok, sometimes referred to as simply amok (also spelled amuck or amuk), is derived from the Malay word amuk, meaning "mad with rage" (uncontrollable rage). Although commonly used in a colloquial and less-violent sense, the phrase is particularly associated with a specific sociopathic culture-bound syndrome in Malaysian culture. In a typical case of running amok, a male who has shown no previous sign of anger or any inclination to violence will acquire a weapon and, in a sudden frenzy, will attempt to kill or seriously injure anyone he encounters. Amok episodes of this kind normally end with the attacker being killed by bystanders, or committing suicide.

I think that's absurd. IQs are way higher than they were before chlorine began to be used commercially.

I think the term 'population control' pretty much sums up what the 'anti-depressant' project/experiment is about.
