-Caveat Lector- No antidepressive medication should be administered without an accompanying course of one-on-one therapy, IMO. There are definitely people for whom Prozac is a literal lifesaver. My wife is among them. But I can state conclusively, having cared for her during her major depression, that medication alone is a false panacea. Prozac is not right for everyone, obviously. For the people who do need it, it can be a miracle; for the ones who need something else, however, Prozac can be disastrous, especially if it's prescribed as the sole answer to a patient's problems. Giving someone Prozac without accompanying therapy is like installing a new software program and expecting the user to understand it without any manuals or training whatsoever. > -----Original Message----- > From: earthman [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 9:50 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [CTRL] Coroner calls for warning note on Prozac packets > > -Caveat Lector- > > From: RJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Coroner calls for warning note on Prozac packets > By Sean O'Neill > > Medicines - Eli Lilly > > PROZAC should be repackaged with clearer instructions to patients and > their doctors about the drug's possible side-effects, a coroner said > yesterday. > > John Owen called for more detailed labelling of the drug after hearing > evidence in the case of a farmer who shot himself two weeks after he was > prescribed Prozac.
