Even after Roger Evert savaged his movies he sent him flowers and well wishes upon learning about his illness.

His friend died and he blames the drug which considering the side effects should never have been given to a man prone to depression in the first place. Doctors are pill pushing idiots at times.

So laugh at the failed clown all you want. His movies may suck but he sounds like a great man to have as a friend.

Thanks for the post-mortem, Deuce Bigelow Dr. Gigolo! bullwinkle428 Aug 2014 #1
So you don't think it's relevant that the drug he was taking had a side-effect of suicide? tridim Aug 2014 #12
Well, that was certainly a Faux News-way of asking a question. bullwinkle428 Aug 2014 #45
Willams was his friend. tridim Aug 2014 #50
I think he has a right to speak of this, same as us. Acting roles are pretty irrelevant. WinkyDink Aug 2014 #40

Maybe the risk that this presented to someone with depression was outweighed by betterdemsonly Aug 2014 #11
Maybe, but I would not make that choice myself. CBGLuthier Aug 2014 #22
We don't know whether it was caused by the medication betterdemsonly Aug 2014 #23
I understand. murielm99 Aug 2014 #30
thank you! renate Aug 2014 #31
Definitely a nice guy Egnever Aug 2014 #44
Not sure if his degree is in Medicine or Pharmacology lpbk2713 Aug 2014 #8
You think all doctors know of all side-effects? Haha! WinkyDink Aug 2014 #41
Any indication the meds cause depression? LordGlenconner Aug 2014 #9
Isn't "suicidal thoughts" one of the side-effects of Chantix too? arcane1 Aug 2014 #15
Yes there are warnings. fortunately I didn't have those LordGlenconner Aug 2014 #16
I was warned of "intense, vivid dreams" if I slept with a nicotine patch on. I tried it. arcane1 Aug 2014 #17
I really enjoyed patch dreams, but the patch didn't work for me. tridim Aug 2014 #18
Congratulations! I was on the gum for 6 months, and now I'm well into 3 months of nothing arcane1 Aug 2014 #19
It's entirely possible that it was typically contraindicated loyalsister Aug 2014 #49
Of course, and even if Schneider is "all that" bad, he may well be right about this drug whathehell Aug 2014 #55

Maybe, but all it really takes is reading the label, whathehell Aug 2014 #57

One of the side effects is suicide? WTF? Initech Aug 2014 #34
'Suicidal thoughts or actions' is most certainly a listed side effect of many different drugs Bluenorthwest Aug 2014 #35
this is a possibility KT2000 Aug 2014 #36
That would also describe depression itself. n/t betterdemsonly Aug 2014 #37
Yes - to prescribe a drug KT2000 Aug 2014 #38
Most drugs used to treat serious illness correlate to suicide risk betterdemsonly Aug 2014 #39

IMO what you describe is much worse than just "suicidal thoughts" tridim Aug 2014 #52
yes - that is the point KT2000 Aug 2014 #53
For Robin, may he RIP. LiberalLoner Aug 2014 #42
At least SOME treatments for PD and depression are connected to suicide. And in scholarly journals. WinkyDink Aug 2014 #48
there is an endless list of drugs including most anti-depressants that list suicidal thoughts as a Douglas Carpenter Aug 2014 #51
