Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 FINAL???? You bet.... over my dead body..... Here's a couple of rebuttals: http://www.nj.com/contactus Concerning Ed Silverman's article: " Antidepressant Use Worth Risk " – http://www.nj.com/business/ledger/pharmaceutical/index.ssf?/base/business-0/1132\ 811111198310.xml & coll=1 I'd like to inform Mr Silverman that VanSycle is not the only parent that takes umbrage with this claim. I'm another. My twelve year old son was prescribed PROZAC for depression. Guess what? It didn't work. He died at fourteen. His obituary states his death was by suicide. Have you seen this petition? http://www.petitiononline.com/lilpro It's signed by thousands of angry people who do not believe that Prozac is safe or effective. Would you like to talk to a few of these people? I can put you in touch with them. I also strongly advise you to check out the " rap " sheets for the members of the ACNP task force. As far as I'm concerned they are all professional " drug pushers " . Why don't you turn a leaf and start proposing safe options for treating depression - like exercise and proper nutrition and finding out what's causing the depression? It's quite a long shot to ascribe depression to low serotonin levels... Why don't you investigate the newest reports coming out of Canada? Their conclusion is that it's time for the charade to end.... The cost of depression drugs is bankrupting the nation. Oh, and Sweden just issued a report on Prozac. They're banning it for use in kids under the age of eighteen. Are American kids different than Swedish kids? Thanks for letting me vent, Cassandra Dawn Casey (formerly, Dawn Rider) Mother to Neil Rider 10/02/85 - 06/03/00 Lehi, UT Cassandra Dawn Casey A.S.P.I.R.E. http://www.aspire.us Achieving acceptable drug safety evaluation standards is perfectly feasible, it's a matter of political will to put the public health first, commercial considerations second. ~Vera Sharav, AHRP ACNP Issues Final Report on SSRIs and Suicidal Behavior in Youth Go To: http://www.prnewswire.com/news/index_mail.shtml?ACCT=104 & STORY=/www/story/11-23-2005/0004221984 & EDATE= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
