Maria Roberton told the Citizens’ Commission on Human Rights that she blacked out ip y while king from the honse to her car on October 1, 1993. After being rushed to Kimberley District Hospital, the doctor on duty took Ms. Roberton off all Prozac after diagnosing her epileptic seizure as being possibly attributed to the controversial drug. . Since the seizure, Ms. Roberton has gone through several thor- ough medical tests to determine the cause of the seizur@and no reason could be found except Prozac. Recently the Citizens’ Commission on Human Rights seat a, submission to Dr. Franklin of the Bureau of Human Prescription Drugs in Ouawa, revealing that Eli Lilly and Company (the manur.. facturer of Prozac) knew of adverse reactions similar to)Ms: Roberton’s prior to the initial approval of the drug The submission. a scries of documents in the form of letters, shows that the pharmaceutical company knew about cases of anxi- ety psychosis. overdose, scizures. and deaths connected to Prozac use before it was put on the market Ms. Roberton also told the Citizens’ Commission on Human Rights that she had never before experienced any kind of a seizure prior to taking Prozac and that she fecls other individuals taking Prozac should be made aware of this dangerous side effect of the drug. She also pointed out. that Prozac is an unpredictable drug. It works differently on éveryone. Brian Beaumont, spokesperson for the CCHR, said, “I have per- sonally heard hundreds of Prozac horror stories, yet psychiatrists and other medical professionals continue to foist this drug on unsuspecting victims. These horror stories, coupled with the other documentation the CCHR received through the Freedom of Infor- mation Act, are being used to make the health officials in Canada do their job of pi ing against drugs. “The most common things that we (CCHR) have heard from Eli Lilly is that the Canadian government approved the drug. Our response to this is quite simple: more than 840 people are dead today because of a drug they took to overcome depression. We are asking the Canadian government to re-evaluate théir approval of the drug. Our campaign is a simple one: we want to save lives. CCHR will continue to let people know that Prozac is a dangerous drug for many people who take it. We do not have millions of dollars at risk, we care only about human lives,” Beaumont concluded.

Ask them questions about its temperament, how much it eats, how much exer- cise it requires, and of course, how much:time is needed to keep it so well groomed. If you have never owned a dog before, nor are you too keen about your friend's dogs. then the search for your dog must continue further. You can start by looking through dog breed books, which supply endless amounts of information about s2- dards, but what you reallly mood to do is meet the breed or breeds that are of particular helps make choosing easier in most cases, bo the Canam obsorver, you willl mower be aiblic interest to you, up Close and hands on.
