What is a SSRI?
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. A type of commonly-used antidepressant drugs which is correlated with violent episodes, especially in adolescents.
SSRI's are meds such as Paxil. There are about 20 of them by now. If you "Google SSRI's you will find a large controversy about whether or not they cause more harm than good. Now they have finally been forced to put warnings about murder/suicide from teens on the box.
The controversy started with their release on the market. L-Tryptophan is a natural chemical that you get from eating turkey, for example that produces serotonin that your brain uses to calm you and make you happy. We got a bad batch from overseas that killed a person so the gubmint banned ALL L-Tryptophan for sale. The same week, Big Pharma introduced Paxil and the rest is history. A large percentage of people are now on SSRI's of some sort and it alters your brain chemistry. You will have some difficulty getting off of it should you chose to. I've personally seen it with a family member and it looks like someone withdrawing from heroin. Ask a doctor, he says no way.
If I was a conspiracy theory type, I might think the government wants all of us on a drug that we can't live without so we will get Government insurance and accept anything they want to do gladly. A few school shootings will pale in comparison when the government gets 50% hooked and then we vote to cut the program. Ain't gonna happen. I think one of the Robo Cop movies had a similar plot.
Go to a doctor and tell him you have trouble sleeping, He will whip out his pad and give you an SSRI. Tell him you don't want one and he's ready to get you committed. They want you on an SSRI if your toe hurts.
