If I say I've never seen anything meditating, does that cancel out the people who have seen stuff or experienced 'events'...No...

To attribute SSRIs to causation you would have to address the fact the VAST majority of Americans on these meds are not going on killing sprees.
so because 30,000,000 people use these drugs yet don't ALL "freak out", there is no problem? well what if say the issue only occurs to 1% of them? that is 1 in 100 people affected, really not a bad sounding thing is it? yet that would be 300,000 people affected. lets go to say only .01% of all that take these meds go nuts and go on killing sprees, that is ONLY 1 person in 10,000 that goes berserk, that really doesn't sound that bad, but that is STILL 3,000 people going on killing sprees, which is way too much. thing is even if it only affects a SMALL portion of those who take the meds, it STILL a BIG ISSUE. it is something that really needs to be looked at seriously.

And my doctor recommended I came off SSRI so your post is not accurate (lies). Or maybe he's not in the NWO and wants the profit? Prhaps he's just actually a Doctor tying to figure out what to do for the best? Perhaps I should show him this thread and enlighten him on his bad ways so he can prescribe me more so I can't get off them and keep annoying him every week because he has nothing better to do.
BS stinks on here and I call is smelly BS. it's moronic. Have you actually taken any SSRI's ?SSRUI's whatever the fk they are?
How can someone make such a pathetic post and even call them SSRIU's- theyt dont exist - it's a MADE UP WORD !!! (acronim)

Yes I CAN CALL BS, you have what, 5 people...10 AT THE MOST that have done this, if 10% of the population is on these meds, and the meds are the problem, why arent there mass shootings EVERYDAY and on a MUCH BIGGER SCALE???
ANSWER THAT!!!
You cant, because IT IS BS, the meds are NOT the problem, its the individuals THEMSELVES that are the problem, they are predisposed to violence

I personally have known 4 people who committed suicide and were on those types of medications.
Military wives get sad when their spouses are deployed over and over again......and the wives killed themselves.
The only good drug for depression that won't make you suicidal is Marijuanna. All the Pharma made drugs have altered the chemical balance in peoples brains and made them suicidal. EVERY SINGLE drug they make for depression can be linked to suicides.
There are mountains of evidence to prove depression pills have led to thousands of suicides year after year.

Ooooooooooo, I dunno about the suicide rates being linked to these drugs in the military, but it is shocking to see the correlation between SSRI's and Murder.
It seems more often than not, military suicide is linked to soldiers not receiving care due to their stressful duties(PTSD), Depression, remorse, so on, so on.
People who are taking these medication are taking them for a reason. To claim that the medications actually cause them to commit murder is ridiculous and baseless.
Maybe it has more to do with the medications not working and their condition. What is to say they wouldnt have commited the crime if they never too the medications, or how many of these medications have actually stopped people from committing crimes.

S&F I believe this is very true.
Now consider the number of young people, kids, and adults who are prescribed these medications and taking them right now. Are they ticking time-bombs for the day they stop taking them?
Add the number of people who live in rural areas and have not been socialized, perhaps they were raised by anarchists or white supremacists and are a little off themselves. They haven't sought medical help.
Add the number of people who just plain flip out and have a weapon handy. Your crimes of passion and convenience. Add rape and robbery at gunpoint. Home invasion and car jacking.
These are the people whose hands we have to keep guns out of.
So doesn't re-instating a Federal Assault Weapons Ban make sense?
Doesn't abiding by the laws we already have concerning background checks make a whole lot of sense too?
Shouldn't we demand the laws on the books be followed?
Everyone's body is different, to assume a blanket reaction every time is pretty absurd unless you have lots and lots of controlled test cases.
