    Was Robin Williams on Suicide Pills?

    Warning labels included with these pills state that they can lead to suicide

    by Infowars.com | August 12, 2014

    Following the untimely death of comic genius Robin Williams, Alex Jones asks the painful question: Was Robin Williams taking SSRI pills which are known to cause people to commit suicide?





    Warning labels included with these pills state that they can lead to suicide, yet the mainstream media under-reports this glaring fact.

    I get tired of this claim being brought out whenever a tragic suicide occurs. People on anti-depression meds are more likely to commit suicide- whether or not they take their medicine. Yes- depressed people are more likely to commit suicide than other people. To say the meds are the cause of their death disrespects the person and those they left behind. But some like Alex Jones always have to try to exploit any situation they can.

    1990 FDA considers risk of antidepressants increasing suicidality in public hearing, but does not find enough evidence to change labels.
    1996 FDA researcher writes to Pfizer to note the increased frequency of reports of suicidality in young patients during Zoloft clinical trials.
    October2003 FDA warns doctors that studies cannot rule out increased suicidal thinking in children taking antidepressants.
    December 2003 British drug regulators advise doctors not to use certain antidepressants in children.
    Oct. 12,2004 Former FDA chief safety investigator testifies even before Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft were on the U. S. market, he believed these drugs could cause mania, leading to violence.
    Oct. 152004 FDA orders all manufacturers of antidepressant medications to add a black-box warning that they may increase suicidality in children and adolescents.
    2005 FDA sends out a public health advisory, warning that all antidepressants increase suicidal behavior in adults and announcing that studies of the effects of antidepressants would be under review. FDA goes on to review 295 individual antidepressant trials of 77,000 adults with major depressive disorder. As a result, health care professionals are informed of risk of suicidality.
    2006 FDA recommends that children should not take Zoloft, as it increases suicidal thinking or behavior in 1 out of 50 young patients. FDA advises doctors to observe pediatric patients taking antidepressants once a week, face to face.
    2007 FDA adds to the black-box warning on certain antidepressants, cautioning that increased suicidal thoughts and behaviors are a possible side effect of the medications for adults ages 18-24 during initial treatment.
    2010 A study of nine years of data, published in 2010, shows that the suicide risk is the same across SSRI drug types.

    Teen suicide tries increased after FDA toughened antidepressant warning
    POSTED JUNE 20, 2014, 2:53 PM

    A few years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued warnings that children and teens who took a common kind of antidepressant might experience suicidal thoughts. The point of the warning was to make sure that parents and doctors paid closer attention to kids taking these medications. But the plan may have backfired.

    A national team of researchers led by Christine Y. Lu, an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School, tracked antidepressant use among 2.5 million young people between 2000 and 2010. After the FDA’s warnings in 2003 and 2004, use of commonly prescribed antidepressants like fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft) and others fell by 30% in teenagers and 25% in young adults. During that same period, suicide attempts rose by 22% in teens and 34% in young adults. The researchers concluded that the decrease in antidepressant use, sparked by worries over suicidal thoughts, may have left many depressed young people without appropriate treatment and that may have boosted the increase in suicide attempts. The results were published online this week in BMJ.
    A decrease in use of those "suicide pills" actually lead to an increase in suicide attempts- in both adults and teens. One third fewer pills, one third more death attempts. Was it the pills causing them to want to kill themselves?

    Well based on your info there, it seems like there may be other circumstances that could have caused an increase in suicidal behavior - it did not say whether or not the same population was taking something other than the
    use of commonly prescribed antidepressants
    , or other generational factors, such as war and the effects that has on a young adult population.

    We know that veterans are popping themselves off in record numbers.

    Now I'm even more sad because I just realized that Williams could have played Alex Jones in a movie. That would have been excellent.

    They were children of Christians,, Nothing will be done until they attack Satan worshipers. ( the truth is stranger than fiction)

    I liked Robin Williams,, it sounds like the rehab he just got out of did him no good at all,, he would have been better off stoned but alive.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    I CARE...because suicide in this country is becoming very common among people who are taking psychotropic drugs. Besides how do we helps kids around the world and people around the world when we cannot even help the people in our own country?

    Antidepressants are psychiatric drugs that form a common thread in school shootings. There are five categories of anti*depressants: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), and atypical antidepressants. Despite the moniker, doctors prescribe these medicines for much more than depression. They use them to treat such ailments as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, bulimia nervosa, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder (SAD), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Other suspect medications, such as Ritalin, Adderal, and Concerta, are sympathomimetic amines, prescribed to treat ADHD.

    These medicines act on the body’s nervous system — altering its chemical communication pathways to affect areas of the brain involved in judgment, abstract reasoning, memory, emotions, and the fight-or-flight response — explains Michelle Morrison-Valfre, MHS, FNP in her 2005 book, Foundations of Mental Health Care. The expected result is a calm mood and clear thinking. However, in some cases unexpected results occur.

    The Physicians’ Desk Reference (PDR), an authoritative source of all FDA-approved drug labeling information, identifies the potential hazardous side effects of psychotherapeutics, including suicidal and homicidal ideation. Unfortunately, such effects are not uncommon. In fact, when taking a particular medication poses serious risks, the FDA requires drug manufacturers to highlight the dangers in eye-catching boxes on pharmaceutical packaging. A drug’s “black box warning” alerts consumers to the major hazards they face when taking that medicine. Most prescriptions do not have black box warnings — only those that can cause extreme adverse reactions compared to the potential benefit. Among psychotherapeutics’ black box warnings are:

    • “Increased risk of suicidal ideation in short-term studies in children and adolescents with ADHD.” (Strattera, SNRI)

    • “Antidepressants increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children, adolescents and young adults with major depressive disorder and other psychiatric disorders.” (Zoloft, SSRI)

    • “Monitor appropriately and observe closely for clinical worsening, suicidality or unusual changes in behavior for all patients who are started on antidepressant therapy.” (Parnate, MAOI)

    • “High potential for abuse; avoid prolonged use. Misuse of amphetamine may cause sudden death and serious cardiovascular events.” (Adderal, sympathomimetic amine)

    So they switched them from the more commonly prescribed SSRIs and put them on the less commonly prescribed SSRIs? I have a hard time believing SSRI use overall decreased during that time. What about Lexapro?

    Because most of us have friends and family who take SSRIs.

    This video has been put out by a group that has affiliations with Scientology. Regardless, and I am no way affiliated with Scientology, there is much information to consider in this.

    How conservative Republicans can continue to support this arrogant imposter—the man who brags about inflicting the world with the Covid mark of the beast; the man who said, “Take the guns first, go through due process second”; and the man who deliberately played and then set up Stewart Rhodes (of course, Stewart was all too eager to be Trump’s patsy) for an 18-year prison sentence—is truly beyond my comprehension.” Chuck Baldwin

    The Death of Robin Williams: How Have We Been Deceived By The Antidepressant Hoax



    Robin Williams was found dead yesterday at his home near Tiburon, California. The actor and comedian was 63. Authorities are still investigating the circumstances of death, but one thing that is known is that he was battling severe depression. A mountain of studies has shown that antidepressant drugs are largely ineffective, yet many Hollywood stars are hooked on the happy pills. Might we finally heed the warnings and shake ourselves out of our pharmaceutical stupor?

    Women have a 10 to 25 percent risk and men a five to 12 percent risk of developing severe major depression in their lifetime. The use of these drugs has tripled in the last decade, according to a report by the federal government. In 2006, spending on antidepressants soared by 130 percent.

    Dr Mark Hamer, a public health researcher at University College London, shows that people on the older drugs — tricyclic antidepressants — are at far higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those taking the newer class of pills, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). But tricyclics were discovered in the Forties and it is only now we have identified these dangerous effects.

    Moreover, some SSRI drugs are known to cause serious problems such as stomach bleeding. In addition, the withdrawal symptoms can be so severe that patients may become dependent on them.

    Dr Hamer says his findings do not only affect people with depression, because antidepressants are also prescribed to people with back pain, headache, anxiety and sleeping problems.

    25% of American children are now on psyche drugs. And according to the CDC 1 out of every 6 children are developmental damaged. Do you ever wonder why so many people on psyche drugs are committing suicide and homicide these days? After all, decades ago, there were no “school shootings” or bizarre child suicides or homicides like those found on www.ssristories.com.

    Molyneux makes a good argument that the causes of the depression (crushing financial obligations as a result of court-ordered alimony) are more significant than the pharmaceutical aftermath.

    I think it is a combination of both and a deadly combination as well.

    Does This Video Prove Robin Williams Was On Prozac?
    Clear connection between SSRI drugs and suicide ignored once again by establishment media

    by Paul Joseph Watson | August 13, 2014

    A video in which Robin Williams appears to admit to being on Prozac suggests a potential link between SSRI drugs, which are known to increase the risk of suicide, and the tragedy of the actor’s death.



    During an interview with Entertainment Tonight filmed in April last year, Williams refers to a conversation he had with television producer David Kelly.

    “He’s so mellow….talking to him is like taking a Prozac because you feel, you just feel good,” said Williams.

    While it’s not known for sure whether or not the actor was on anti-depressants before his suicide, Williams’ long standing battle with depression would seem to indicate he had at some point taken SSRI drugs.

    Once again, despite the mainstream media’s obsession with getting to the root cause of why Williams decided to take his own life, the question of whether anti-depressants, which are known to increase suicidal tendencies in some people, played a role in his death has been almost completely overlooked.

    As the website SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, suicides, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. The number of cases is staggering.

    Harvard-trained psychiatrist and former full-time consultant at the National Institute of Mental Health Dr. Peter R. Breggin has testified in approximately 100 trials since 1976 about the clear connection between psychiatric drugs and outbursts of violence. Breggin asserts that there is a definite “causal relationship between antidepressant drugs and the production of suicide, violence, mania and other behavioral abnormalities.”

    In 2005, Harvard psychiatrist Martin Teicher blew the whistle on how Prozac manufacturer Eli Lilly & Co. lied to the public for 15 years in denying the connection between Prozac and suicide. According to Teicher, Americans were treated like ”guinea pigs” as part of a mass psychiatric experiment.

    Again- it is the personality which makes them more likely to be on anti-depressant drugs and that same personality which makes them more likely to try to commit suicide.

    I realize that is is your belief and intention to show that drugs kill people. And as I showed earlier, when the use of such drugs declined, suicide attempts went up- not down- and not just by a little bit but a lot- as they should have if the drugs were indeed the problem.

    Everything is the fault of either government or some corporation. Individual decision don't have anything to do with it.

    I don't see how. Tell us--how is discussing what failed to help them in a critical manner 'disrespectful'? Seems to me it's a conversation they would want to see happen.

    Depression has causes. These can be physical or caused by stimulus. If they are physical, teaching a person how to cope, and teaching a person to do other things known to help, like soaking up sunlight and exercising, gives them a treatment that does them no harm, has nothing but good side effects and which they can keep up even if they're stranded on a desert island. What's more, these learned ways to cope tend to remain effective over time, whereas the human system is well known to develop tolerance to drugs making the drugs less effective.

    As for those whose depression is caused by stimuli, that's like treating the symptoms of a curable disease. Get to the root of the problem and work it out, like psychologists and psychiatrists used to try to do before this junk was invented, and you've just cured them. Which is obviously better than making junkies out of them. Especially since being a junkie is depressing.

    Oh,,, bull$#@!.

    Having a personality is an excuse to prescribe that crap.

    I have just been through this with the women in my life,, my wife and step daughter,,, and the quack that was pushing this $#@!.

    We finally found a Doctor, 2 hours drive away.

    For my step daughter,,it was not all in her head.. it was blocked intestines..and a severe abdominal infection.

    She had surgery to repair the damage and is recovering nicely.. the quack almost killed her prescribing one "happy pill" after another.
    After a stint in a psyche ward caused by that $#@! we found a real physician..

    He was trying that same $#@! on my wife.. The guy is a quack. A Pharmaceutical Sales Rep,, not a doctor.
    and there are many more like him.

    Some of those pills, you can't just stop taking them cold turkey, they have to be stepped down or transitioned to something else under constant supervision. Clonazepam withdrawal is one you never want to leave someone alone with.
