 Prozac
(Fluoxetine Hydrochloride)
By Eli Lilly & Co, like
Zoloft, is prescribed for the treatment of
depression, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, and other psychological disorders.
It is classified as a selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI) . Also like Zoloft, it Prozac
has been linked with serious, sometimes fatal,
reactions. These reactions include liver
damage, liver failure, and suicide. There have
also been reports that Prozac may cause aggressive
and violent behavior. Some doctors estimate this
occurance to be 1 in 1000 patients. There
are approximately 38 million people using
Prozac throughout the world.
Additionally, too much of
the chemical serotonin can cause Serotonin
Syndrome, a potentially deadly condition.
In Federal Court in Wyoming
recently, a jury awarded a family $6.4 million
after a man killed
himself and three other people after taking
Paxil – a
drug similar to Prozac. In addition, new research
questions the safety of Prozac: Columbia University
researchers found that mice exposed to Prozac
shortly after birth exhibited abnormal emotional
behavior in adulthood that appeared to result
from a drug-related disruption of a key growth
factor linked to brain development.
The FDA ordered drug manufacturers
to include warnings on the packaging of Prozac
and similar
drugs about a possible increased risk of
suicidal thoughts or behaviors among children
and adolescents
who take them.
