Why the hype around Fluoxetine (Prozac)?

2 Conversations

Why is it hailed as such a wonder drug? After being told by my GP that it usually starts to have a noticeable effect after 2 weeks, sometimes a bit longer. Balls to that. For the first 3 weeks nothing happened, then the next week I found my mood getting progressively worse and worse.

Like so many things in this world its just an ineffectual fake thats been made popular by advertising and hype, rather than actually doing what its supposed to.
