Will the FBI divulge the type of drugs, and miligrams the killer at Virginia Tech was taking, and why is this information not immediately available to the public? Can the victims seak reperations from the drug companies? I say this because the next day there were articles about antidepressants from the drug companies saying these class of drugs were perfectly safe useing statics.

Not trying to pin the blame just looking for some concrete answers. However this incident is part of a trend that seems to indicate an abnormal amount of these drugs being present in such circumstances. Behaviour seems to be modified by this class of drugs due to a specific part of the brain the processes aggression. In such instances why are doctors not acting or recording these extreme changes or is this apart of some larger study now going on possibly by the government.

Toxicology reports have not been released yet. A panel of experts called by Virginia Gov. Tom Kaine will investigate the shootings and presumably whether Cho Seung-hui was taking antidepressant drugs. When he was taken to the hospital on December 13, 2005, he was released the following day with the recommendation to go to outpatient treatment. The information has not been released whether he did follow up with treatment.

Why do so many people want to sue drug companies? Even if he was on some prescription or other. Even if it caused his problems. What about all the people who are helped by drug companies? Doesn't that matter? Should drug companies just stop producing drugs because someone may have an unintended adverse effect from them? Should the chronically depressed just be left to wallow in misery?
Stop looking for scapegoats. This guy was not in an institution where he belonged because the law would not allow anyone to put him there. If you want to blame something, blame the overly liberal laws that govern what society can do with the mentally deranged.

Cigarette smoking kills, and drinking and driving kills too. We all know this. And we know coffee is served hot. Yet we sue RJ Reynolds, Anheiser Busch and Ronald McDonald. Go after the people responsible. So many things can alter a drug - other drugs, food, lack of sleep, hormones, not taking the drug at regular intervals. After listening to debates on TV and talk radio, what needs to be fixed is how people in "authority" are allowed to respond to cues, rather blaring red flags, about a person's unhealthy status that could harm themselves or others. I don't care if the person is over 18, if they are living on their parent's dime, inform them! If your student freaks you out, call the police!! We are beyond the point of tip-toeing around the sacred mental health privacy acts. But we have people in offices that care more about if the kids are being directly abused instead of insane amounts of proof that a mother is depressed, bi-polar and has multiple personalities and her lifestyle is in fact putting her children in harms way.

There are some drugs that are hard to detect in drug screenings and tests. They may or may not divulge them. If its pertinent for the public to know then they will.

Exactly! The media has said nothing about what medication he may have been taking. Was it prozac?
