I have heard that it’s not a good idea for people to suddenly stop taking them.

I have no idea, though I’ve encountered at least a couple of bipolar people in life.

10’s of “mass shootings”/ millions of rifles= nyah
10’s of “mass shootings”/ millions of anti-depressant prescriptions = a-hah

• Sadness
• Feeling hopeless
• Feeling helpless
• Feeling guilty
• Fatigue
• Loss of interest in hobbies
• Restlessness
• Abnormal sleep patterns, whether sleeping too much or not enough
• Thoughts of death or suicide Anxiety
• Feeling worthless
• Feeling ’empty’
• Irritable
• Lack of energy
• Slow talking and moving
• Trouble concentrating
• Abnormal weight changes, either eating too much or having no appetite

Half of these could be caused by CRT that claims all males, especially white ones, are evil. A messed up home life and/or family also contributes.

If an asshole feels bad about being an asshole they need to quit being an asshole, not take a pill.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“This debate leads them away from the elephant in the room and one of the real issues behind mass shootings — mental health and prescription drugs.”

Thanks, Big Pharma! Good Job! Stellar! Top-Notch!

Two other issues: NO FATHER IN THE HOME and ‘confusion’ about their gender/sexuality/gayness.

What we need is a nationwide shutdown. This will increase social distancing and isolation. It provides financial insecurity and worries about the future. it promotes helplessness. Also more mask mandates. Everyone loved those.

It isn’t just anti depressants. In the last 6 years I have been around so many people in their 60s and up that take all types of mind affecting drugs, sometimes more than a couple at a time.

The thing is, thy have been taking all of this for years and they literally NEED them. They have to go to medicare approved psycho docs to get their prescriptions. Some shop elsewhere if not approved by some chance.

It is alarming.

[gitmo]

That’s a disturbing article.

MIL was in the hospital.
They tripled her dose of xanax, then took her off of it.
The psychosis lasted for days, until her heart doctor came back in and started screaming at the doctors in the hospital.
They put her back on her required dosage.
She was normal within hours.
She was hallucinating, hearing voices, violent, etc.

Withdrawal from these drugs is a real phenomenon, as I have witnessed it firsthand.
These things are dangerous, and family doctors pass them out like they were candy.

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. The real numbers don’t lead to guns being the problem nor anti-depressants being the problem. The real numbers point to mass-shootings being a non-problem: they’re a rarity considering that there are over 300 million people in our country.

I wonder if a lot of those mass shootings, like Uvalde, are committed by folks that just want to commit suicide but cannot just poll the trigger on themselves but need to commit a crime so horrible they will be killed by the police aka known as suicide by police or having made a name for themselves find enough courage to pull their own trigger.

And as a side note, isn’t it interesting how the daily posting of Covid deaths has fallen away from the Free Republic interchanges? Perhaps the fascination of the “latest thing” has drawn their attention away from the pandemic declaration, which we are to understand has not been canceled by Uncle Tedros and the needling, double vaccinated and doubly-boosted yet Covid-infected Fauci?

[SaveFerris]

(as I have witnessed it firsthand.)

I’ve seen some behavior much like you describe.

Blaming firearms for mass shootings create an opportunity for the left to punish dissidents who are politically opposed to leftist ideas. It’s got nothing to do with public safety. Like everything with the left, it’s just a means to their political end.

I, unfortunately, ran across a guy, who, if not actually demon-posessed, had to be on antidepressants at a minimum.

Absolutely looking for trouble where none existed. Except in his mind.
