McCaffrey?

MS. MCCAFFREY: My name is Margaret McCaffrey and

I'm from Brooklyn New York. I raised eight children. Two of

them became doctors. My daughter, Margaret, a neurologist,

died a little over a year ago and I firmly believe the drug

Prozac caused her to commit suicide. She was very dedicated

to her profession. She was a nurse before going to medical

school. She took Prozac to see her through a very stressful

job situation. She believed it was safe and not addictive.

She moved here to Baltimore in July of 1990 to begin

a second fellowship. She had bought a new car, had a lovely

apartment, and the best of her profession lay ahead. There

was no warning. She spoke to her family on Saturday and on

Monday evening she was found, almost dead.

I hope and pray that Eli Lilly and the FDA will

listen to me and remove this drug from the market before any

more innocent lives are lost. Thank you.

DR. CASEY: Thank you
