If you turned violent.

The problem with these drugs (SSRI) is they have no plasma level monitoring, but there is wide variation in elimination rates.

Take for example Traci Johnson, who was a college student wanting to make some extra money. She enrolled in a high dose Cymbalta study, and hung herself in a Lilly research facility. IUPUI medical professors examined the incident and discounted the cause as cymbalta, but Lilly pours tons of money into universities and their headquarters is in the same town as IUPUI.
