2 Years After Wife's Antidepressant-Induced Suicide Allan Routhier
Plans DC Protest


Southbridge, MA, July 5, 2005 - Fed up with waiting for the FDA to
take serious measures to protect the public from dangerous
psychotropic medications like the one that caused his wife, Diane,
to take her own life 2 years ago at the age of 40, Allan Routhier
has decided to vent his outrage through a protest in front of the
White House.

On August 24, 25 and 26 from 9am to 5pm Allan and his 2 sons will be
joined by other victims, their family members and leaders in the
fight to raise public awareness of the dangers of these medications
like Dr. Anne Blake Tracy of the International Coalition for Drug
Awareness.

The Routhier family, represented by Alan Milstein of Sherman,
Silverstein, Kohl, Rose and Podolsky, has filed suit against
GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of the drug Wellbutrin which they
intend to prove caused Diane, a woman with no history of mental
illness, to take her own life. Her doctor, Timothy G. Keenan MD, is
also named as a defendant. Details can be found at:

Everyone whose life has been damaged or destroyed by a dangerous
drug and those who would like to remind the FDA of who they are
supposed to be working for are encouraged to participate. This is a
chance to have your voice heard for more than the 3 minutes the FDA
allowed you at their "public hearing" last year.

Allan Routhier can be reached at Allan0265@msn.com
