This information on Prozac was been forwarded to me by my friend, Juli Lawrence (juli@ect.org), who found it at Disinformation, (http://www.disinfo.com/prop/narco/prop_narco_prozac.html).
Prozac,
the drug that delivers happiness to one and all, propelled to the top of the
drug charts and has held that top position for many years. The most widely prescribed
antidepressant made by that very happy company Eli Lilly, Prozac has spawned
odes, poems, Pez candy dispensers, and created an army of really, really happy
people. Prozac has taken on mythic proportions in our culture. Is there adark
underbelly to Prozac? If there is one, it's hard to find, but we did come up
with a few dissensions. C'mon, get happy!!!
