From Christopher Moore:
"I had begun to notice that many of my friends were taking antidepressants and in any given week, it seemed that one or another of them was taking themselves off of their medication and creating a crisis situation in their lives. I talked to a psychiatrist about this phenomenon and he explained about all the symptoms of withdrawal from antidepressants: nausea, increased depression, anxiety, and increased libido.

As I tried to deal with what seemed 'a crazy friend a week' it occurred to me that it would be a lot easier if they would all go off of their drugs at once, so I could set a week aside to be a good friend and be done with it. Therein lay the plot for the next book: 'What happens if you take an entire town off of their medication al at once.'"
