Sara Allison Carlin was an active, enthusiastic and academically successful student in high school. But all that changed in her final high school semester when she was prescribed the anti-depressant drug, Paxil, for anxiety. What followed was a downward spiral that ended in suicide. In order to prevent other parents from experiencing such a tragedy, Sara's parents contacted The Oakville Beaver to tell her story.

"Sara, suffering from the side effects of a powerful anti-depressive drug, grabbed a piece of electrical wiring, fashioned a crude noose and hanged herself in the basement of her parents's house."

Very sad story.
Yes Ana that is a very sad story.
Its horrible what chemicals can induce people to do. Her mind was not her own, when she decided to take her life. I hope a higher power is watching this injustice.

... yes, too sad.

You are right. She was not in her mind. I have experience drug-induce suicidal ideation.
It's really something very strange and too strong.
Hello Ana,
Very sad story. Sorry to hear that you are not feeling good at the moment. I am also struggling still.
In relation to the meds, I think the strong effects of SSRIs are often overlooked. At the end of the day, these drugs are designed to affect the working of the brain. It is inevitable that some undesired effects are going to happen. I just feel that the devastating effects that can happen are often overlooked and put down to personality or character. I know that my meds have changed the way I feel, think and act. Sometimes tis worries me. However what is the alternative?
All the best to you,

Thank you Andrew!
Hope you get better.
I wish I had never taken an SSRI.
But...
