Contra Pfizer
My name is Lothar Schröder, I am German and 45 years old. I studied mathematics and actuaries at Cologne University. After graduation I have worked for several insurance companies as a fixed income portfolio manger. Now I work for a bank.
I am a widower since my wife Monika killed herself three years ago.
My wife took ZOLOFT, an SSRI-antidepressant manufactured by the pharma company Pfizer. At the time she took the drug, the package insert did not warn that ZOLOFT can make people suicidal. I blame the drug for her death, because she loved live and would never have done that. She had so many plans for the future. The medical documents show that it is very likely, that there was a causal relationship between the drug ZOLOFT and her suicide.
The risk of suicide was concealed in Germany by Pfizer until August 2005, when the European Commission forced the pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer to warn about the suicide risk for children and adolescents. Some weeks ago, Pfizer has increased the age at higher risk from 18 years to 25 years. But this is nonsense. All ages are at higher risk from these SSRI- Antidepressants!
Other SSRI antidepressants are Prozac (in Germany Fluctin) and Paxil. They all carry the same risk!
This blog is about these SSRI- antidepressants and CONTRA PFIZER.
It is named after one article by Dr. David Healy who has written a book on SSRI, it is titled “Let them eat Prozac”.
I have decided to fight Pfizer and tell my story to the public.

High court revives Paxil, Zoloft suits
Anyway here, from Bloomberg News, borrowed from Fiddy, is this promising lawsuit. Of course, we need to include all the SSRIs and SNRIs and atypical antipsychotics too, but I am happy with this as a first step:
The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday gave life to two lawsuits faulting Pfizer Inc. and a GlaxoSmithKline P.L.C. unit for failing to warn that their antidepressants might cause suicidal tendencies in adults.
The justices told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia, which had rejected the suits, to reconsider them in light of last week’s Supreme Court decision giving patients more ability to sue drugmakers.
The antidepressant suits are being pressed by relatives of a woman who killed herself after taking Glaxo’s Paxil and a man who committed suicide after taking Pfizer’s Zoloft.
There are three review studies on rsearch into SSRIs and suicidality:
