A few of these ads existed on the internet three years ago, but always in conjunction with Paxil (one of the SSRI family of drugs.)
About two months ago, I was shocked by the ads I started seeing on occasion on tv (and I don't even watch tv much anymore because N knows how to change the channels!) The ad first caught my attention not when they mentioned more SSRIs such as Prozac (fluoxetine), but when they mentioned Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome in conjunction with not just Paxil but with fluoxetine. I was really shocked. Part of me said this: "Maybe it wasn't all just in my head!"
I told my husband about it. I think he is still somewhat tempted to go after someone, but then later, it just gets too upsetting to think about.
