Blacksburg - Cho Seung-Hui's medication speculation?

The New York Times reported that Cho Seung-Hui was taking a psychoactive medication.

What was he on?

Was it an antidepressant?

No doubt antidepressants save lives, but they also cause side effects. Psychiatrists know they trigger mania, exacerbate delusional thinking, and agitate suicidal tendencies. In short, they can push troubled people over the edge.

For obvious reasons, it's kinda hard to clinically research any link between antidepressants and shootings. But I'm certainly

not the first person to notice one. For example, the wife of comedian Phil Hartman was on Zoloft when she killed herself and him.

Most notoriously, Eric Harris of Columbine was on Luvox.
