ZOLOFT IS GIVEN (OR SUPPOSE TO BE) FOR DEPRESSION/OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER. THIS DRUG DOES EFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (WHICH IS ALREADY NOT WORKING PROPERLY IF NEEDING ZOLOFT). ONE SIDE EFFECT IS MANIA. THIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY WHAT HE DID-BUT MAY HELP SOME UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY BE MORE UNDERLYING CAUSES. SOME OF MY QUESTIONS ARE---WAS THE DOCTOR MONITORING HIM CLOSELY, WAS HE GIVEN A SCRIPT FOR 50 PILLS (IF SO-HE SHOULDN'T HAVE). IF ZOLOFT WAS GIVEN, HOPEFULLY IT WAS BECAUSE OF A MEDICAL PROBLEM. HEALTH PROBLEMS OF THE MIND ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS HEALTH PROBLEMS OF THE BODY. MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT OTHERS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM.
