Each seeks $1 million in compensation, plus punitive damages. &#39;&#39;Clearly the scientific data lead one to the conclusion, as it did the FDA advisory committee last Friday, there is no credible evidence that <strong>Prozac</strong> or any anti-depressant causes suicidal thoughts or actions,&quot; Lilly spokesman Edward A. West said yesterday.<br /><br />The plaintiffs are:<br /><br />* Heather Ollin and her parents, Frank and Julie Ollin of Kansas, who charge that Heather Ollin attempted <strong>suicide</strong> twice after prescribed <strong>Prozac</strong> for depression in February 1990.<br /><br />* Michael R. Simon, a retired Georgia psychiatrist, who charges he attempted <strong>suicide</strong> after being prescribed <strong>Prozac</strong> in May 1990 for a spastic colon and depression.<br /><br />* Arthur Lucas III and his mother, Norma Campolunghi, of Connecticut, who charge Lucas attempted <strong>suicide</strong> in May 1988 by taking 94 <strong>Prozac</strong> capsules and suffering a seizure. <br />Edition:&nbsp; FINAL<br />Section:&nbsp; SPORTS<br />Page:&nbsp; 6S<br />Dateline:&nbsp; INDIANAPOLIS&nbsp;<br />Record Number:&nbsp; 9101090961 <br /><br />OpenURL Article Bookmark (right click, and copy the link location):<br /><a href="http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&amp;rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:NewsBank:FWNB&amp;rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&amp;rft_dat=0EB6CBC862FF16B0&amp;svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated4&amp;req_dat=0FC00B934DD580D0">MORE PROZAC SUITS CLAIM SUICIDE TRIES</a><br /></div>
