It's anything but a joke, Helga.

Why dont they explain why Eric David Harris acted the way he was when he barged into Columbine High and started shooting people? According to his Autopsy toxicology report that at the time of the autopsy that they found The Luvox (fluvoxamine) in Eric's system, which he was being treated for depression. He was taking 390 ml.

The therapeutic levels are of 50 - 900 Ml.

I'm a toxicologist. I don't understand the units of concentration you are trying to provide. What that suggests to me is that you are not trained in science. And, the Columbine event was the product of two very disturbed young men. The fact that they were being treated at all is really a matter of too little, too late. You look for a correlation between the SSRI and violence. These young men were also breathing. Should we ban air?

Can they also explain why I felt so suicidal at the time when I was under the influance of wellbutrin?

I'm sorry you went through this experience, but no one can explain it. It suggests that people being treated with medication for depression require closer personal care. Better medical management. The drugs are tools which are sometimes not carefully used.

Here's a better link, to the same article: http://www.psych.org/edu/other_res/l.../tfr/TFR27.pdf

Did you read this article? Here is a quote from the conclusion: "While there are plenty of explanations as to why sudden death might occur in a psychiatric population, the studies in Hungary, U.S.A. and China show no evidence for an increase in sudden death in patients receiving psychotropic medications. This does not mean, however, that the question of a relationship between the administration of psychotropic agents and sudden death has been answered.

We are left with the following conclusions. Sudden, unexplained death that takes place in the general population is often associated with stressand frequently accompanied by negative autopsy findings. Death among psychiatric inpatients has decreased since the introduction of psychotropic drugs but is still higher than in the general population. Sudden death has not increased since the introduction of psychotropic drugs. Independent studies from three different countries find no differences in mortality in patients given antipsychotic agents compared to the general population."

Despite the known serious adverse effects of these powerful drugs, people are not worse off with them.
