All the Prozac naysayers are probably people who have never lost a loved one to a murder or suicide, therefore never having a need for such medication. I can tell you from personal life experiences that I never needed anything either until life dealt me a major blow by losing many family members in one year.
I’m also an avid planet lover & certainly do not want to see any other species on our planet suffer. I’m sorry for the fish, for any animal or human who suffers, but we all know that not everyone gives a rats rear either. I’m doing the best I can with what life has dealt. If it’s either me or the fish, I’ll have to go with me, as a human at the top of the food chain.

ok, so if you multiply the dosage by thousands of times your lab fish start acting weird? NO SHIT, try increasing the natural levels of iron or iodine or thousands of other naturally occuring substances in water. Many will produce behavioral side effecs and several even become lethal/ Now that’s not to say prozac in the water is natural, or good, but aren’t there more pressing issues? personally, i’m slightly more concerned for the highly endangered polar bear who is losing miles of habitat as we speak.

My question is: What do these drug collection drives do with them?

For me the best anti-depressant is to watch comedy on TV, pills just make you more depressed.

To “In Healthcare”:
you say ” maybe we should have some other way of disposing of meds other than flushing them”

Is this a joke??? We do have a better way:
– don’t get them in the first place
– if you really need them and they expire bring them back to your pharmacy…

typical American way of getting rid of stuff you didn’t need in the first place… dump it in the toilet… dump it in the dustbin… just get it out of the house, it magically disappears, right?

Problem is it eventually will come back and bite you in the bottom, unfortunately with the rest of the world…

Sympathies to people who really need antidepressants… but 200 million prescriptions per year? You people went totally over the edge… Get a grip on yourselves… Most of you have no idea what depression really is, but when your pet dog dies you act as if it was the end of the world…
