Christopher Pittman, was convicted by a South Carolina jury in 2005 of murdering his grandparents when he was 12 years of age and involuntarily intoxicated on Zoloft, an anti-depressant prescribed for him after he had attempted suicide. Judge Daniel Pieper, who had previously denied a defense motion to have the case heard in Family Court, where it clearly belonged, sentenced the young boy to 30 years in an adult prison. Appeals are ongoing.
When I was hospitalized, the doctors gave me zoloft, and I complained about the medication, but they did nothing. They continued to give me the medication.

Zoloft sucks. I was put on this medication, and it made my mind race with constant thoughts... it felt like my mind was literally on a rollercoaster, going up, down, and around and around... over and over again. Zoloft should be banned.

WELL what happens if this happens and you do contact the professionals. and they don't know why this is happening. and say don't worry she won't do it. it is not in her.
she was on a tca. for 3 weeks. then stopped. unkwowing the dangers. she took her life.
age 25. read my story. it is sad. it is devastating. and I will seek justice for all victims and their families who had to try to cope with this kind of death. suicide. not as it appears! you will be held responsible for what you have done.

The outrage here (and I do believe it is justified) should be against the doctor that gave the boy the drug in the manner that he or she did. That is inexcusable.
Zoloft and other SSRI can be dangerous, but they also help many people. Zoloft is doing wonders for me. It isn't the drug itself that is evil - its the medical professionals that don't know what they're doing with it.
