Hearing about this story I thought Weatherston was a sick excuse of a man. Seeing his parents speak... my heart goes out to them. I genuinely like them and think they are kind good people. Weatherston clearly had narcisstic personality disorder...very very hyper sensitive and self involved and focused on his own success. He was mentally unstable but that will never excuse his dreadful act... amazing how a minute of horrific violence will cancel out years of good deeds and hard work. Rightly so, in this case.

Why hasn't the media investigated the known, adverse effects of Prozac on Clayton Weatherston's changed personality and behaviour? Dr Chaplow, director of mental health acknowledged Prozac is often associated with agitation, rage reactions or homicidal propensities. Chaplow said "it may not be unreasonable to believe that the excess medication played a part" in the killing. The toxic effects of Prozac (and other similar psychiatric treatments) can occur at normal recommended doses, not just excess doses, and the longer one is on them the greater the risk of serious behavioural toxicity and serotonin syndrome (i.e. drug toxicity). Personality disorders (not present prior to treatment) are a sign of drug neurotoxicity.

In the US particularly, "...there has been an avalanche of lawsuits against the maker, [Eli Lilly]...there are hundreds of cases of users who became emotionally disturbed, or committed suicide while on Prozac". (Dr Peter Breggin Talking Back to Prozac). In my view Eli Lilly should have been on trial with Clayton Weatherson. It knew the effects of Prozac before it unleashed it on the public. Please google Breggin, Dr David Healy, Dr Yolande Lucire, and Karen Barth (attorney) and thoroughly research and investigate the drug treatments mental health services and GPs so readily prescribe for all manner of vague symptoms.

One question - why was Clayton Weatherston being prescribed such a potent psychiatric drug treatment - doctors and psychologists have stated that he did not have a mental illness so the use of Prozac was totally inappropriate.

Just watched the one on clayton's parents interview, I think he was a highly indulged person because he was special but I also think there must have been instances when some temper, some traits showed that they haven't talked about that they probably let him get away with since he was little and as he grew up. None of that makes them bad parents I do hope though that they don't continue to indulge him and focus more on their other children who are far more worth their attention, hope, and love.
