[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 1242627, member: 4258"] Sorry to hear about this. But I would definitely not be pointing the finger at myself if I were you. You wrote: "[He] has been to rehab for xanax twice and is prescribed a bunch of anti-depressants." While most people know anti-depressants can trigger "suicidal thoughts" because of the TV ads, what people don't know is that they've been found to have the most harmful effect on those under age 25.

This is not the time or place to go on one of my anti-media tirades, but I will say this: We don't get enough info on how harmful drugs in general can be because our media (radio, TV, and print) is driven by advertising and pharmaceutical companies buy a lot of ads. Badmouth them, and they buy ads with another media company. Again, sorry to hear this. Death is never easy, especially when the person is younger than you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
