One can understand how such people (Sean himself
giving a good example) might actually seek out marijuana while on SSRIs to try to bring some emotional color
back into their lives! (Though I know lots of people who haven't had this problem at all...)///My problem with this theory would be all the kids out there who are experimenting with alcohol, pot, etc. in an effort to "self medicate" - that usually seems to be the order of things. Could it, perhaps, be more of a case of the individual continuing their quest for something, anything to make them feel better? (Parents - are you positive your son hadn't already experimented with pot before taking prescribed meds?)
