Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 SSRI-Research@ Thu, 17 Feb 2005 21:50:42 -0500 [sSRI-Research] Zoloft: Author questions verdict that sentenced Christopher Pittman There has been a strange silence from the media in regard to the Zoloft defense in the Christopher Pittman case. There are no articles from people stating that " Zoloft Saved My Life " . In fact, the response has been just the opposite. Several editorials in newspapers have stated that our nation's children are way over medicated. Here is an article from a Judith Lederman who talks about the problems her child had on Zoloft http://press.arrivenet.com/bus/article.php/591898.html **2. JUDITH LEDERMAN, co-author of " The Ups & Downs of Raising a Bipolar Child, " questions the verdict that sentenced 15-year-old Christopher Pittman for murdering his parents: " Zoloft and other anti-depressants have had some terrible mood-altering side effects. No psychotropic medications should be taken by children unless a child and adolescent psychiatrist is monitoring their use closely. " Lederman's son was diagnosed with a mental illness at the age of eight and her book details how certain medications, particularly stimulants and/or anti-depressants, can cause severe rages, depression and other side effects.
