How an Antidepressant User Becomes Violent

With the recent school shooting tragedy in Florida, I feel compelled to explain how an otherwise young man such as Nikolas Cruz, or anyone, can be turned from a social person into a killer who “runs amok” and commits violent criminal acts.

The narrative foisted upon the public by the money-motivated drug industry is that these horrific and tragic acts are somehow “random acts of violence” and NOT episodes of a psychiatric drug user “running amok.”

To the contrary, there is adequate evidence revealing that Nikolas Cruz WAS taking prescriptions. Even though the exact prescription is not known, it is not too far-fetched to assume one or more of these antidepressants were involved to “cure” his emotional instability: Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, or Effexor.

The violence triggered by these drugs has a very distinct and exact cause. Here is how someone taking any of these drugs can become violent:

Antidepressants CAN, (but do not ALWAYS), “predispose” people to violence. It takes some ADDITIONAL “trigger” event for the individual who is taking these mind-altering drugs to become violent. For example, it could be the loss of a girlfriend. It could be the realization that the person has “screwed up” and now cannot go back to school. It could be losing a job. It can be the result of loss or realization regarding a life situation that the individual cannot resolve that can trigger the antidepressant user to violence.

All drugs, including antidepressants, work by suppressing symptoms. This mechanism also includes the drug’s effects to suppress the individual’s attention on his environment, such as his surroundings and his body. So, the individual is rendered incapable of fully receiving the information available from his current environment. The individual is taking a drug which decreases his ability to not only process information but additionally suppresses his ability to come to rational conclusions about and use the data. Attempting to confront some stressful life situation is simply too much for the person, and they go off the rails and take out their frustration on others, all too often in a violent way.

This mechanism was recognized almost 250 years ago. A person not being able to cope with some life event, and then committing some horrific assault against people was first observed in the Malay culture. In was recorded in the journals of Captain James Cook in the late 1770s on his epic voyage around the world.

Street drug users face an event, and generally can resolve it in some fashion—usually by getting more numbed with their drug of choice—but NOT an antidepressant user. The antidepressant user, faced with a seemingly “unsolvable” life event, takes out his frustrations on his environment, his friends, and even his family, and this can be with the use of violence.

In short, this is the mechanism of how and why an antidepressant user becomes violent.
