    I doubt that antidepressants are even in the database

    Like another commenter above, I also wonder whether the original ABC report was accurate.

    I also wonder how anyone can assume that the database funded by the National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting Act of 2005, to which Glenn links, even includes antidepressants. Did anyone say it does?

    I am no expert, and I could be wrong, but I don't think antidepressants are among the drugs listed on the schedules of "controlled substances" covered by that act.
