[Guest guest]

Hello my friend!

I am very happy to see you finally posting! I spoke with your

mother and your sister last week. Did they mention our conversation

to you? Did they get the parcel I sent?

I hope you are doing, OK Steve. I know how difficult these past

six months have been for you, for your family and for everyone who loved

your dad. I am sure that the first Christmas without your dad

will be bittersweet... Just try to think of him in Heaven.. doing

whatever he really enjoyed doing here on earth. Who knows?

Maybe he and our little have linked up.. maybe they've gone fishing!

Stay in touch. I hope you will help us circulate the petition

by sending it to everyone you know - especially everyone who knew your

dad. We've also got some business size card that say "PROZAC

KILLS" on them. Would you like some to distribute? Also,

maybe some of your dad's friends would like to join us. We could

sure use some more fighters! Also, we are collecting funds so we

can print up bumper stickers that say PROZAC KILLS. When we have

enough money to print them, we're going to sell them 3 for $10. If

any of your dad's friends want to make a contribution to our war chest

in his honor, have them send a check or money order to:

SSRI medications

PO Box 1944

Orem, UT 84059-1944

I'm treasurer, so you can be sure the money will only be used in our

battle to fight the Evil Empire!

Take care, Steve- and don't be such a stranger! Tell your mom

and sister hello for me.

The Avenging Angel

My

father committed suicide by hanging himself June 28, 2001 after taking

Prozac for 10 days. He had never had any mental illness and had never been

suicidal. The Prozac was a sampler from the cardiologist who also gave

him a prescription for Prozac. The cardiologist found nothing wrong with

his heart.He took it for 10 days

before his death.I believe it was

on June 26, 2001 he called me and he sounded unlike I have ever heard him.He

sounded nervous, desperate, and jittery. He told me that he wanted to come

off the Prozac because it made him feel terrible.He

said that his doctor said that he could simply stop taking it. I said “Wait

dad, are you sure that is what he said,” he said “Yes, he (doctor) said

that I have not been on it long enough for it to hurt” Two days later he

killed himself.My father had a

lot of friends; everybody felt that this was totally unlike him.No

one could believe it. I believe that the drug is dangerous for some people

and that the cardiologist should not have been prescribing antidepressants,

which are outside his normal practice. There was no warning from the doctor

regarding this possible reaction to the drug.

Growing

up if a western movie had a hanging on it my dad would change the channel.

I recall saying one time. "We

were watching that dad" he responded with "I saw a movie where a man got

hung one time as a kid and I had nightmares about it, I can not imagine

a more horrible death." My father hung himself. My father would not

have chosen to die in this method.

He

had just finished his first brand new house (at 72), he and I built the

cabinets out of African mahogany. There were list of things to do

all over his shop. He was not planning on dying.

I

think that the cardiologist, with inadequate warning and supervision, prescribed

a drug that the manufacturer knows is dangerous to certain percentages

of the population.

Thank

you for writing this petition. Feel free to put anyone in contact with

me that you would like. Can I help? I will pass this petition around.

Thank

you <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
