This a very sad story and should serve as a warning to anyone taking anti-depressants, particularly someone new to them or going through a dose change. A London lawyer was shot dead by police last week after he came home drunk from a pub, began acting erratically and, then, began firing his shotgun from his home. His name was Mark Saunders, aged 32, and he'd reportedly been taking an anti-depressant for a few months.
After a standoff, the cops shot him five times.
This is a tragic outcome and points to a very simple rule that people who take anti-depressants should adhere to: be damn careful about mixing alcohol and anti-depressants, particularly until you know how you react to the mixture, adn I simply do not care where you stand on the great meds divide. There have been too many stories over the last 20 years of people who met tragic outcomes from mixing booze and anti-depressants (and booze and Chantix) and tragedies such as Saunders' should serve as a reminder to all.
