Prozac

Prozac (a brand name for fluoxetine hydrochloride) is one of the most widely recognized drugs in the world. Since its 1988 debut, Prozac has gained the reputation of a wonder drug for safe and effective treatment of depression and other serious mental illnesses. Unfortunately, the side effects of Prozac are only now becoming apparent. Over the course of the drug’s first decade in the market, any children prescribed Prozac began to show suicidal tendencies. Furthermore, antidepressants are now being linked to an increase in deaths of people with coronary artery disease (CAD).

A recent study by a major university suggested that people with CAD who used Prozac and similar drugs were much more likely to die early than people with CAD who did not – an increase in mortality of almost 62%. Other side effects connected to Prozac use include:

• nausea
• insomnia
• somnolence (sluggishness)
• anorexia
• anxiety
• shaking
• reduced libido
• rash
• vasculitis
• lupus-like syndrome
• restlessness
