MS. PRENTICE: My name is Betty Prentice.

DR. CASEY: Ms. Prenticer were you here when it was

announced you would have five minutes to speak?

MS. PRENTICE: No, I was in the other room, but it

won't take that long.

DR. CASEY: Thank you. Go ahead.

MS. PRENTICE: I've been off Prozac and I have to deal every day

with not getting a gun or taking a car and running over somebody.

My kids, my son, just told me two days ago, "Mom, there?re many

times that I thought I was going to have to knock you out and

restrain you." My daughter told me, "You were like a zombie." I

was on it four to six months.

Now my doctor, my psychiatrist, in Atlanta would not

give me my records. I have finally gotten them, but too late

to bring them to show you. Something has to be done and this

is just not -- this is something that?s real. My doctor told

me it would be fatal. I moved from Atlanta to Sacramento,

California. He told me it would be fatal if I went cold turkey and

dropped the drug, but I went off of it and I have

a pill bottle here to show you. That was my last one,

September 3rd in 1989.

I'm telling you right now it?s taking every -- every

bit of strength that I have to come here and try to tell you

that something?s got to be done. I'm not blaming Eli Lilly or

the doctor or anybody, but you've got to look into this.

Thank you.

DR. CASEY : Thank you,
