I was once told when in the hospital that I was being prescribed anti depressants for cocaine addiction. Too bad when it came down to me collecting my private disability insurance, I was on them for deppression. The insurance covered addiction, but not mental illness. Now that I read it, I have not suffered from a migraine in years.
As far as people on anti depressants committing suicide....HELLO they are depressed. Suicide goes along with depression. To the woman in the article who was suing because she needed a liver transplant.... I wonder if her taking too many pills a few months prior to her liver failure had anything to do with her new illness?
