Is it the drugs or is it that people who do mass shooters (minus the gang-bangers) have a history of mental illness and therefore have been prescribed SSRI's?

I have always been non-violent. One time I go to my doc because of EXHAUSTION (and NOT depression!) but he prescribes me an SSRI and tells me to take half a dose.

Within a half hour I became utterly bloodthirsty, I wanted to see people bleed and die, I wanted to see streets run with the blood of innocents. I was actually quite terrified that I would act out on these impulses, but eventually they subsided and I never took those pills from hell again. I came SO CLOSE to becoming a murderer.

This is of course a n=1 anecdote, but still... It's gotta be worth SOMETHING in the court of saidit-opinion?
