TRIGGER WARNING: Are SSRI’s and school shootings connected? I don’t know, but the mass prescribing of the drugs and the epidemic of shootings correlate precisely. Despite 49 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs citing effects of mania, hostility, violence and homicidal ideation, and dozens of high profile shootings tied to psychiatric drug use, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between psychiatric drugs and violence. Of the 39 known shooters who were on the meds, one of the Columbine shooters was on the SSRI Luvox, Kip Kinkle was taking Prozac, and the Parkland shooter was prescribed clonidine, an ADHD drug, the stimulant Focalin XR, and the antipsychotic Risperdal.

SSRI’s are not a completely understood drug. Same as anesthesia. We know it works and that risks are low. But when I was prescribed, it eliminated my empathy. I didn’t care about anything or anyone. I left jobs because they were “annoying and Inconvenient to me.”

I don’t think we can link SSRI’s to all shooters but I think it could play a role in some

Considering all the stories I’ve heard this is very interesting read. At my high school in 2001 there was a shooter who also was taking those medications and reported blacking out and coming back to consciousness after he shot multiple people

Yes it is. Fast food restaurants had a wave of shootings in the late 80s/ early 90s , prozac was a common denominator with each of the shooters. Also the early tests of the drug failed with suicide and people getting worse. Then they paired it with a benzo and declared it a successful trial. Absolutely a sham.

There is no scientific evidence to support "imbalances of brain chemistry" which, as you know, is the very fulcrum upon which the entire fallacy of psychiatry and the drugging of America via big Pharma rests upon. Zero. It's all a scam. As a survivor of benzodiazepines I can tell you first hand how truly sick and evil these industries are. Thanks for posting content that is always intelligent, provocative and passionate about shedding light where darkness reigns.

The Corresponding Rise of Antidepressants, SSRIs & Mass Shootings

Eli Lily quietly paid $20 million to the victims of a horrific Kentucky mass shooting. The payment was made thirty years after Joseph Wesbecker, who’d been taking Prozac for one month, walked into his office building and killed eight people (injuring twelve), indiscriminately shooting at co-workers.

This mass shooting occurred two years after the FDA approved Prozac for depression. While it was the first seemingly associated with the use of prescription drugs, sadly, it wasn’t the last.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a correlation between the increase in mass shootings in the U.S. and prescription drugs, you aren’t alone. This article will take you into the recesses of mass shooting propaganda, verifiable facts, and the history of prescription drugs and mass shootings.

Report Highlights:

As of 2021, 57.8 million adults in the U.S. experienced some form of mental illness, while 14.1 million adults suffered from a serious mental illness.

In 2018, more than 34 million Americans were reported to be taking antidepressants.

By 2023, over 3 million American children were receiving medication for behavioral issues.

Over half of all mass shootings have occurred since the year 2000, with 20% taking place since 2014.

Studies from Finland and Sweden suggest a possible link between prescription drug use and violent behavior.

Between 2000 and 2013, 22% of mass shooters were reported to have used either prescription or illicit drugs.

Official mental health diagnoses were found in 40% of individuals responsible for school attacks between 2008 and 2018.

Prozac and Effexor were among the most commonly identified antidepressants in cases involving school shooters from 2000 to 2018.

Associations between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and violent crime in adolescents, young, and older adults – a Swedish register-based study

by T Lagerberg · 2020 · Cited by 24 — These results indicate that there may be an increased risk of violent crime during SSRI treatment in a small group of individuals

Associations between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and violent crime in adolescents, young, and older adults – a Swedish register-based study

Abstract

This study identified individuals ever dispensed a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) aged 15–60 years during 2006–2013, using Swedish national registers. The outcome was violent crime conviction. The main statistical analyses assessed risks of violent crime during periods on compared to off SSRI treatment within individuals. Further analyses investigated risk over time in relation to treatment initiation and discontinuation. The study identified 785,337 individuals (64.2% female), experiencing 32,203 violent crimes in 5,707,293 person-years. Between-individual analyses found statistically significantly elevated Hazard Ratios (HRs) overall (HR = 1.10), and in 15–24 and 25–34 year-olds (HR = 1.19 and 1.16), but non-significant HRs in 35–44 and 45–60-year-olds (HR = 1.02 and 1.04). In within-individual analyses, where 2.6% of SSRI users were informative, hazards were elevated overall (HR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.19, 1.34), and across age groups (HR of 1.35 [95% CI = 1.19, 1.54] in 25–34-year-olds to 1.15 [95% CI = 0.99, 1.33] in 35–44-year-olds). In the overall cohort, the within-individual HRs were significantly elevated throughout treatment (HRs of 1.24 to 1.35) and for up to 12 weeks post-discontinuation (HRs of 1.37 and 1.20). While questions on causality remain, these results indicate that there may be an increased risk of violent crime during SSRI treatment in a small group of individuals. It may persist throughout medicated periods, across age groups, and after treatment discontinuation. Further confirmation is needed from studies with different designs, and clinical focus should be on high-risk individuals, as a majority of SSRI-users (around 97% in our cohort) will not commit violent crimes.

Introduction

Mood disorders are leading contributors to disease burden globally (Vos et al., 2016) and, if left untreated, lead to substantial morbidity and mortality (Rapaport et al., 2005; Rihmer, 2007; Stewart et al., 2003). Antidepressant medications are a major part of the treatment of these disorders – and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed type in a number of countries (Abbing-Karahagopian et al., 2014; Mars et al., 2017; Mojtabai and Olfson, 2014), where their use has been increasing across age groups over the last two decades (Abbing-Karahagopian et al., 2014; Lagerberg et al., 2019; Pratt et al., 2011). For example, in the US, the population prevalence of antidepressant use increased from 6.5% in 1999–2000 to 10.4% in 2009–2010, with almost two-thirds of those prescribed antidepressants being treated with SSRIs in 1999–2010 (Mojtabai and Olfson, 2014).

Despite their increasing prevalence, there is apprehension about the unintended outcomes of SSRIs – with one area of concern being aggression and violence (Sharma et al., 2016). There is some evidence that SSRIs are associated with an elevated risk of these outcomes in young people (Hemminki et al., 2017), though the evidence is less clear for adults. A pharmacosurveillance study using the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) finds that SSRIs are consistently associated with violent events in an adult-majority population (Moore et al., 2010). Meanwhile, a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) finds an almost three-fold increased odds of serious aggression outcomes in child and adolescent antidepressant users versus controls, and a slightly elevated, though non-significant, effect estimate in adults.
