A longer article has now been published on Counterpunch:

Was the Shooter on Antidepressant Drugs?

Anti-depressants are linked to suicide, mania, violent outbursts and a host of other very serious problems.  Yet they are routinely prescribed by the millions, with FDA evidence that expected percentages of patients will experience these outbursts.

We need to ask: What is the relationship of psychiatric drugs to these spree massacres?

Was this latest shooter taking anti-depressant drugs?  Are psychiatrists sticking their heads in the sand?  I have personally asked several psychiatrists about links between spree massacre shooters and anti-depressant drugs (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc.), and none of them will accept the idea that this link exists, and that what they are prescribing may cause great harm.

These important videos provide evidence in this argument:
