My main point is the question I posed

What I have wondered, ever since the murder/suicide of Davidito,is this: was he on an SSRI? I had already entered the crazy zone with some close friends and relatives on Zoloft, and have done some research on the SSRI’s to try and figure out what the hell was going on.

The Family can drive a person to suicide there is no question. And I can understand murderous rage, I have been at both places. But what I am asking is a legitimate question, and one that should be considered especially by SGA’s who don’t really have any frame of reference outside of the Family looney toon lifestyle.

Considering the fact of the high suicide rate among SGA’s and the fact that SSRI’s do trigger suicidal tendencies in some people; could this be part of the problem? I’m sorry the question has stirred up such hostile feelings. Now several posters have jumped in to ‘testify’ how wonderful it was for them, and how dare I question the drug companies, revealing IMO a rather naïve mindset.

But the question remains, and to repeat: Was Davidito on an SSRI and what is the experience of SGA's on SSRI's and does anybody know how many were on SSRI's when they committed suicide? And what about FGA's-- Was Watchman on an SSRI?--I think he was.
