Maybe you're talking about Benzodiazepines (but should still provide a link), which are highly addictive and if taken with alcohol and/or illicit drugs can have negative side effects. I can't imagine SSRIs under any circumstances would cause anyone to become violent, abusive or a mass murderer. I'd like to see a link to this claim or theory.
I am 100% sure crusius wrote it.Then where did the Manifesto come from ?.....moo
Walmart CEO pledges 'thoughtful and deliberate' response to El Paso mass shooting - CNN
“New York (CNN Business)Walmart CEO Doug McMillon says the company will respond in a "thoughtful and deliberate" way to the recent fatal shootings at its stores.
But in a post on LinkedIn late Tuesday, he offered no details and company officials say Walmart's policy on gun sales has not changed. “
Snip
“In the wake of the shootings, many people have called on Walmart(WMT) to stop selling firearms. Walmart is one of the largest sellers of guns and ammunition in the United States. The retailer does not sell all types of weapons: It stopped selling assault style rifles in 2015. It only sells handguns in Alaska and last year it stopped selling any gun to a person younger than 21 years old.”

Walmart under pressure to stop selling guns in wake of latest shooting massacres - CNN

So the video of him being taken into custody is not in the Walmart parking lot. I have read somewhere that he stopped shooting because he ran out of ammunition. I wonder if they will reopen the Walmart.
(( @LaborOfLobe ))I hope the Wal-Mart is demolished. I stood at the memorial on Monday morning, which overlooks part of the WM parking lot, and I was completely overwhelmed. I have watched SO many of these tragedies play out on TV, Twitter, and here on WS with some of y'all. I thought going to pay my respects would bring me a tiny sense of peace. It did not. I felt anguish, hopelessness, helplessness, horror, personally violated as this has been the only home I've known and complete, utter despair. What I felt, saw and heard broke me. I didn't even try to control the tears.
I had not been to that Wal-Mart in several years until just a couple weeks ago. I drive by it every Friday but it's always so packed/hard to get in and out of the parking lot that I avoid it. On Saturday I was wearing the shoes I purchased at that store so recently. Even looking at them makes me feel physically ill, I think I will get rid of them. Opening that store again would cause the same reaction x1000 for myself and others.
Anyway, your question caught my eye and now I'm rambling. Much love to all WS'ers.

The subject is complex. Misdiagnosis of bipolar individuals as depressed is quite common and it's established that SSRI's in bipolar illness can increase mania and induce psychosis.
Some had said mental illness doesn't play much of a factor in mass killings when several of these shooters were know to have mental issues and quite a few of them had been on antidepressants/SSRIs or had recently stopped taking them.
I'm not saying they were a cause in this shooting or the main cause of the shootings in which the perpetrators were on or had recently been on them but with the number of how many shooters had been on them and the number of cases of other violence, it's definitely a factor.
It's not done to stigmatize people who are them as the huge majority of people who do take them don't commit any sort of crime. But there is a minute portion of people who do take them that end up committing violent crimes. Look at some of the side effects of these drugs and you have to wonder about how much of a role they do play
No I'm talking about SSRIs, they can have very serious side effects including aggression, hostility, violence suicide, suicidal thoughts, and murderous thoughts. The side effects are well known and have been for quite a while.
James Holmes was on 150 mg of sertraline(generic Zoloft) a day near the end as they increased his dosage up to that point, his journal reflected what it was doing to him. He stopped 20 days before the shooting.
Jeff Weise, Red Lake school shooter was on 60mg of Prozac a day
NIU shooter had been on Prozac and stopped. His girlfriend said it made him a totally different person
Kip Kinkel was on Prozac
Eric Harris had used both Zoloft and Luvox.
Andrea Yates was on Effexor
Ivan Lopez, second ft hood shooter was an on antidepressants.
Va Tech shooter was on Prozac at the time.
Cascade Mall shooter was on Prozac

Its something that doesn't get talked about and serious research needs to be done into it considering the number of cases, not just mass shootings but violent acts, where the person had been on, had their dosages increased or had stopped taking them. Doctors say those are the times when people are at risk when taking them
Just a few more things. I did not mention the victims and that last post came across as kind of "me, me, me". I'm not sure if I'm able to really convey these emotions.
I have barely spoken about this. A little to my mom, a little to my husband. Then the tears come.
My heart is completely shattered for the victims, their families, friends. Now that I've experienced this a bit more personally I cannot fathom how difficult it would be to move forward.
Another thing I had really never thought about...just HOW MANY people are affected by a tragedy like this, how far reaching the effect is, and how close to home it can be.
When I got home Monday there was a business card in my front door from a producer/investigative reporter from south Texas. I thought "ok, looking for interviews" but I was stumped as to why that area? It's close but not that close. I messaged her and told her that while I am deeply affected, it's indirectly and that I couldn't help (with an interview). That wasn't what she wanted at all. She was looking for someone from her part of Texas who was living here, thought to have been at Wal-Mart, and unaccounted for. It seems they canvassed my street and specifically next door to me based on info they'd been given. My heart sank.
Shortly afterwards I saw that she had posted an article. He was amongst the deceased.
You just never know. Death can be natural, it can be UNnatural, but it is guaranteed to happen. Make every day count.
All my love and blessings to everyone who is suffering due to this and RIP x22. May wounds and hearts heal as much as possible.
MOO
(((((( @LaborOfLobe ))))))) Such a touching post. I'm so sorry this has happened in and to your community (or anyway for that matter).I hope the Wal-Mart is demolished.

Has Dick's suffered a lot from their decision?If Walmart decides to forsake it's gun owning customers to do something that "feels good", yet accomplishes nothing, then they will face the same backlash as Dick's Sporting Goods.
Wal-Mart will not stop selling firearms and ammo. The stockholders will not let that happen.........................mooHas Dick's suffered a lot from their decision?
Dicks apparently stopped selling assault style weapons in February 2018. Since then, their stock price has pretty much remained the same. Sure, a certain number of people will boycott Walmart regarding a decision on gun sales. My guess, however, is that Walmart will not be significantly impacted.
