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
