VIA Bob Fiddaman:
"Last Friday, March 26, 2010, a United States District Court Judge in Los Angeles rejected Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”) and Sandoz Inc.’s attempt to dismiss a case arising from the suicide of Noe Carrasco, a 26-year-old Southern Californian man who was taking the generic version of the antidepressant Prozac at the time of his suicide. The lawsuit was brought by the young man’s mother, Rosemary Dorsett, who claims the manufacturers failed to warn of the suicide risks associated with fluoxetine (Prozac)."
"Despite her own personal tragedy, Rosemary Dorsett has taken proactive steps to try to prevent others from having to endure the emotional pain she has been forced to suffer. She traveled to Maryland for the December 13, 2006 Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee meeting to testify about her son’s death and to urge the FDA to issue stronger warnings about the increased risk of suicidality associated with antidepressants, including fluoxetine. Her testimony is available online at:

"Ms. Dorsett is represented by the national law firm, Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman. Baum Hedlund has the longest track-record of handling SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant cases such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, and is currently representing hundreds of antidepressant birth defect clients in addition to suicide cases."

Mental health professionals often say that the increased risk comes from the drugs causing people to feel so much better that they then have the energy to plan the suicide. That's bs in my opinion. Yes, people have more energy, but it's agitated energy. The increased agitation/restlessness/obsessive suicidal thoughts I had were definitely drug related. I remember when they added Prozac on top of all the other stuff they had me on. I just about flipped out. I wanted to smash things in my house. I was uncomfortable in my own skin.
I can only imagine how dangerous that could get when someone is going through puberty & has hormone issues on top of it. I feel for people being trialed on all these drugs. Like a lot of people I'm lucky I survived it.
