WATCH FDA REVIEWER TESTIFY FOR CHRISTOPHER For those of you who have not had the opportunity to follow Christopher Pittman's case too closely, you need to know that this afternoon will be an absolute MUST for viewing. Taking the witness stand in defense of Christopher will be Dr. Richard Kapit who oversaw the approval of Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc. for the FDA. He will be testifying that it is his opinion that Zoloft caused Christopher to shoot his grandparents and burn the house down three years ago when he was only 12 years old. This type of testimony should be shocking to anyone taking these drugs or their loved ones. It clearly indicates the potential danger in which they find themselves on one of these antidepressants or in withdrawal from one of these drugs. Extreme caution must be used to avoid withdrawal effects of antidepressants which the FDA has recently warned can lead to suicide, mania, hostility, etc. Tomorrow's testimony will be of great interest to me as well. I will let you tune in to learn why. No matter where you are in the world, I urge you to contact your local media to let them know that it would be of great interest to them to listen in this afternoon as well. There is no need to go into any lengthy discussion about SSRIs. Most reporters lose interest if you talk too long because they are so very busy with deadlines. Simply let them know: #1 This is a serious issue facing far too many. #2 This testimony by Dr. Kapit will take place this afternoon. #3 They can find additional information at www.drugawareness.org where they can educate themselves further when they have time.
