Stated in the first article below: “Testimony from a defense psychologist had suggested that Schuler’s medical and physical ailments, combined with her vegan diet and use of alcohol and an antidepressant, helped impair her ability to tell right from wrong.”
He could have summed it all up with “the antidepressant produced nymphomania & poor judgement & impulsive behavior by inducing manic behavior.” The first case I testified in like this was in Utah in the mid 90’s. I had already followed the high profile case of Mary Kay Letourneau who had sex with a 13 year old student, spent 7 years in prison, gave birth to two of his children & then married him – something no one had seen before. She was diagnosed Bipolar so an antidepressant would pretty much be a given in that case although we were never able to document it. From that point on I began to track these cases of teacher/student sexual assaults. Women patients had reported over and over again that they began to act & feel like a teenager again on these drugs & women reported they began to date very young men while on antidepressants.
So far in looking at as many cases as I have been able to follow up on for a decade & a half there has been only one where I have not found an antidepressant involved in the case. When you understand how often antidepressants produce mania this should not be difficult to understand. Too many forget that one type of mania is nyphomania leading regularly to sexual indiscretions during manic episodes. Malcomb Bowers from Yale found over a decade ago in a study that 8% – 11% of those in psych wards of general hospitals were there because of SSRI antidepressant-induced mania (Bipolar). They then pointed out that it is so rare for doctors to notice that the antidepressant was the CAUSE of the mania (Bipolar) that the real rate should be expected to be far greater. If I recall correctly at that point the figures indicated that was 250,000 people a year becoming manic on the SSRI antidepressants which they expected to be a very low figure!
When you look at the types of mania possible coming from antidepressant use in considering the impact of this antidepressant-induced mania upon our society ….
…. besides nymphomania described as sexual compulsions – a pathologic preoccupation with sexual fantasies or activities leading to divorces, unwed pregnancies, sexual assaults of all kinds, not just female teachers seducing male students. The head of the sex abuse treatment program for Utah estimated 80% of sex crime perpetrators were on antidepressants at the time of the crime. While Karl Von Kleist, an ex-LAPD officer and leading polygraph expert estimated 90% of those accused in child sexual abuse were on antidepressants – strong evidence of manic sexual compulsions that demand attention.
….dipsomania is an overwhelming compulsion to drink alcohol leading to many new alcoholics, many more returning to drinking after years of sobriety, increased numbers of DUIs, alcohol related accidents, alcohol related criminal charges, etc.
….kleptomania compulsion to embezzle, shoplift, commit robberies of all types by those who have no history of such behavior before medication, embezzlement from employers, misappropriation of funds, etc.
….pyromania compulsion to start fires leading to many cases of arson, even to setting oneself on fire.
This is only a handful of MANY, MANY types of mania such as the wild spending sprees leading many into bankruptsy. And leaving questions for us about how many of our government leaders might be suffering from this wild spending stemming from antidepressant-induced mania.
Then when you look at the REM Sleep Behavior Disorder where 86% of those being diagnosed with it are taking an antidepressant you see the memory loss for the incident as well. In the third article below find this statement:
“Harry Plotnick, a toxicologist and attorney, testified that Schuler suffered from mania in connection with taking medically-prescribed Zoloft and that those effects were magnified by alcohol consumption.
“The effects of that interaction could cause blackouts, in which individuals aren’t aware of their actions, and memory loss, he said.
“Schuler’s attorneys have argued that it’s not known if the sexual acts occurred, because Schuler has no memory of them.”

WITHDRAWAL HELP CD TESTIMONIALS:
“Ann, I just wanted to let you know from the bottom of my heart how grateful I am God placed you in my life. I am now down to less than 2 mg on my Cymbalta and I have never felt better. I am finally getting my life back. I can feel again and colors have never been brighter. Thanks for all that you do!!” … Amber Weber
“Used your method of weaning off of SSRI’s and applied it to Ambian. Took 6 months but had been on 15 mg for years so what was another 6 months. I have been sleeping without it for 2 weeks and it is the first time I have been able to sleep drug free for 15 years. What a relief to be able to lay down and sleep when I need or want to. Ambien may be necessary for people at times but doctors giving a months worth of it at a time with unlimited refills is a prescription for disaster. It is so damn easy to become dependent on. Thanks for your council Ann.”… Mark Hill
“I’m so thankful for Ann Blake-Tracy and all her work. Also for taking the time out to talk to me and educate everyone! She has been a blessing to me during this awful time of antidepressant hell!” … Antoinette Beck
