with suicide as a side effect to someone with depression is very risky. My father and I did not have pre-existing depression so we survived.

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

Rob Schneider is known as one of the nicest, classiest guys in Hollywood. CBGLuthier Aug 2014 #7
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

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

IMO what you describe is much worse than just "suicidal thoughts" tridim Aug 2014 #52

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
