DR. CASEY: Thank you. Tucker Moneymaker, please?
MR. MONEYMAKER: Thank you. On behalf of myself and
thousands of other citizens in the states of North Carolina,
Virginia, and West Virginia, of which I happen to be the Prozac
Survivor Director for these three states, I want to say thank
you for allowing the public to come up here and speak and
voice their opinion about this dangerous drug.
I also want to tell everybody that these are real
stories, real people. This is not something written down on a
piece of paper, something somebody wrote up somewhere. These
are real things that are happening.
My story is also real. It’s just a real nightmare,
something I have to live with every day. I had two sons,
David Lee, age 8, and Billy, 16, a wife of 20 years, is all
gone. 1’11 tell you why. In March of this year my wife,
Sandra, had some nerve problems. She was asked to go be
evaluated. The doctor put her on Prozac. He told her she was
depressed because she was having nerve problems.
Now, I want you to keep this in mind, how my wife
was, just a little short story. My wife was the kind of
mother that always put the kids first. She would take her
kids back and forth to school every day. My 8-year-old never
rode a school bus. My wife was tied up in the church, tied up
in Cub Scouts and room mother at school.
I heard these people talking about scientific data.
I want to show them some scientific data. This is scientific
data right here. I want you all to look at it. This is
scientific data for those who say we don't have scientific
data.
I haven't slept but about two hours since Sunday.
I want to apologize if I sound a little shaky. After being on
Prozac for 21 days, my wife shot and killed both of these two
boys right here. She turned the gun on herself and shot herself
herself twice. Now she’s in jail for murder.
This is the kind of lady that never took a drug, no
mixed drinks, no alcohol, no reason to be depressed, just some
nerve problems, like everybody has from time to time. I'm
depressed. I've got legitimate reason to be depressed.
I want to ask you all, don't let this happen to
anybody else. These are real people. You know, these murders
and things are senseless. It’s time to put a stop to it.
Thank you.
DR. CASEY: Thank you
