As most of you know we have had another shooting at Fort Hood, Killeen, TX. The shooter was being "evaluated" for depression. I shudder to think what medications were prescribed. My 1st thought was...crapalta. My heart breaks for all those soldiers and their families.

 

Way too easy to get a gun in Texas.

 

So sad. So sad.

    Read so many painful stories on here and offering others support while trying to heal myself from cymbalta and other antidepressents.

Xman, I totally agree with the horrifying and sad events which took place at Ft. Hood..My prayers and thoughts are with the soilders and their families..I'm curios as to what meds this man was taking besides the ambien they have stated...I'm even wondering if he was on medication for his illness...This is a sad event!

Hmmm, why "out" Ambien but not the SSRI?? My gut reacted while this was all unfolding. :( 

 

Heart breaking. Prayers to all those victims, families and the community.
