Christian Hageseth of Fort Collins, Colorado once billed himself as the "compassionate" shock doc. He has been in and out of courtrooms since and the latest chapter in this soap opera involves illegally writing internet prescriptions. A California teenager committed suicide after Hageseth wrote a prescription for Prozac.
From 11/29/07
Prozac is the least painful of all of the SSRI anti-depressants to stop because it has the longest half life, meaning how long it stays in the bloodstream. However, there have been autopsies showing anti-depressants in patients months after stopping medication.

It is a shame that this young man lost his life to Prozac. There is little awareness for the public, but if you search online, you will find many have committed suicide during or withdrawing from Prozac.

The big issue is not the lack of a pre-existing relationship between doctor and patient, but the lack of movement by the FDA and the drug companies to acknowledge that SSRI antipressants have taken the lives of THOUSANDS of innocent people.
