Samantha and Tessara Crespi died

medication can cause severe side effects, especially anti-depressants, and especially within the first weeks. I tried to kill myself and obsessed about it when i switched meds to prozac, this would have left my 3 babies motherless and my husband alone. but i truly believed this was the ONLY way out. lucky for me my husband took me to casualty when it became apparent i was going to do something so bad and my meds were changed. david crespi is not making excuses, he is being honest about the frame of mind he was ni at that moment. just because he and his wife are composed does not mean they are heartless. they are united in their love and grief for those girls and she obviously is very aware (too late) of the dreadful side effecs of prozac and is choosing not to desert her husband.i'm in agreement that if anyone tried to hurt my babies well whatever but if my meds had caused such a reaction that i actuallyb did commit suicide, I would beg for forgiveness, esopecially from my children and husband.this is the frame of mind kim crespi is in, and its courageous however mad it may seem. her girls are gone she needs their souls and spirits near her so she has styed in the place where she can remember them. she does not focus on the tragedy but the life they led.please do not write anything bad about me in response, i still suffer from mental illness and am only writing an opinion.with thanks

Hi Katie, I am stunned like you at the peoples reactions, this show of Ophra was only aired in Australia yestereday. I cant get it out of my mind and keep on reading about them because I feel my heart going out to them. I am like you a sufferer of depression and had the axact safe reaction as you had with prozac. I stood with the knife ready to kill myself when my husband found me and stopped me. And you dont know you do it that moment it is not you, something in you take over and act and afterwards you can just look at what you did and say, wow did i really do that.
I feel so sorry for the women and igree with you i think i would also stay in the house thinking this is where my daughters memories are and where i am still close to them. why move away and loose those memories. you have to celebrate their life and focus on how they lived and not on how they died. I will pray for the family, especially Kimberli and Dave and hope they will find peace.
I also hope you are doing better with your depression, i have been diagnosed after 20 years of stuggling with depression and only now i have found the right good psychiatris and medication. I feel reliefed and like Dave i had a time where i felt i was tired of feeling not well.
i appreciate your comment here and wish more people could see deeper than the surface but once again if you never were there at this place then you will not understand.
May God bless the Crespi's and you Katie. hope your doing well with your depression.

If we say it was the medication that caused this then why is it being prescribed and why isn't the doctor on trial. Are we playing Russian Roulette here...which human will kill under the pill?

I believe seriously depressed and mentally ill people should be hospitalized till they are stable if that be possible. But for people to be mainstreamed to live "normal" lives when they cannot is dangerous to theirselves and others.

I worked with Dave Crespi many moons ago at Sacramento Savings. Dave was always a kind man and regardless of his obvious wealth he treated everyone the same. Something had to be out of the ordinary as this is not the Dave I knew. Don't judge him, it's not our place...
