(8,514 posts)Prozac was approved in the US at the end of 1987. Mass murders peaked in the 1980's and have continued to rise in the years thereafter. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/reading-between-the-headlines/201207/mass-murders-are-the-rise
If you expect me to agree that there should have been a peak in mass murders in the year that Prozac was introduced on the market, you underestimate my intelligence. We all know that since Prozac was approved in 1987, there have been a myriad of copycat drugs that have come out since then, and as these drugs begin to flood the market, the amount of violence caused by people taking these drugs will increase incrementally. That's what we are seeing. There is a definite correlation.
I'm so sorry that you feel that you are entitled to continue to wage personal attacks in this forum. It is very sad that you think that that sort of behavior shores up your arguments.
