Yes; just check the label of SSRIs and other drugs when they first came out. Many carried an FDA-mandated, black-box warning of increased incidences of homicidal ideations. Not merely suicidal ideations, homicidal ones. This was largely regarded as a bad idea and detrimental to sales, so it was walked back.
- Nursie 3y agoThat's tangential at best and I'm not sure it supports the strong claim - "Dexedrine and other psychotropic pharmaceuticals have figured prominently in most mass shootings since that time" I'm not saying I don't find it plausible, but a warning message on the box isn't exactly the confirmation I was looking for.
- heavyset_go 3y agoThere is no black box warning for SSRIs warning of increased incidences of homicidal ideations.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoYes, that's quite astute, there are currently no warnings. Present tense. Well said.
- heavyset_go 3y agoThere's no indication that there will be such warnings, and studies on exactly this have show the opposite of what you're saying.
