The morning after my first dose of Zoloft I woke up and I was a different person. For lack of a better description I felt evil, I didn't have a desire to hurt anyone but I certainly felt capable of it. Those feelings went away when I got used to the medication but it was a weird and scary feeling. I haven't had a reaction anything like that with the other meds I've taken. I haven't even been in a fight since grade school and I've never started a fight. I wouldn't hurt anyone unless they were threatening my family. I was about 30 then too I guess, if I had been 12 and still living with my abusive stepmother who knows what I might have done. These meds are strong stuff but the general public doesn't know it and thinks they're "happy pills".
And AuntieMel is right, it's shameful to prosecute a kid as an adult for something he did when he was 12.
