Re: Designing proper testing for antidepressant-generated

suicidal ideation in adults

 

Pharma Fraud & Liability [GSK, LLY, FRX, WYE, PFE]

 

On the heels of Merck taking Vioxx off the market, it is

opportune that you address this explosive issue of whether or not SSRI

antidepressants cause suicidality. Unequivocally, the answer is: YES.

SSRIs induce suicidality and have caused an untold number of

unnecessary deaths to children AND adults.

 

I have been researching the fraud and liability issue with the

antidepressants for years now and have approximately 3000 medical

abstracts, articles, documents and legal testimony of Lilly scientists

which all indicate proof that Prozac, et. al., are:

 

· Highly dangerous and complex drugs that induce suicidality in

healthy subjects (1)

 

· Caused numerous suicides in clinical trials, hidden in data as

" overdose " and " depression " (2)

 

· Caused a child to hang herself in Lilly labs during a trial

for duloxetine or " Cymbalta " , recently approved by the FDA for urinary

incontinence in young women (3)

 

It is critical to note that:

 

· At this time, SSRI antidepressants must carry suicide warnings

to those under 30 in the UK (4)

 

· In the US, the fastest growing use of antidepressants is for

the 0-5 year category (5)

 

· There is something terribly wrong here.

 

There is ample documentation and expert witnesses to

substantiate these claims.

 

I am part of the grass-roots effort to expose the FDA for

knowingly endangering the public, specifically children who do not

have a choice in whether they are medicated or not and are, in effect,

suffering from forced drugging. " We " are actively pursuing " black-box "

warnings on all SSRI antidepressants widely prescribed.

 

The truth of this travesty must be brought to light and now. The

research is public, there is clinical data and our job as adults is to

protect, not only the public, but our infants and children. They are

the future of America and desperately need our help. We are their voice.

 

I have learned this truth the hard way, as most of us do.

 

Please listen. Please explore. Please do your own research.

 

Seek and you will find.
