Here you are. Your inner weather is grey rather than sunny. You've seen people no smarter than you make more money and advance their careers faster. While you don't think of yourself as shy you do avoid public speaking. And of course you've heard of Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, et cetera.
Antidepressants are easy to get.
They are fashionable. Doctors practically push them on you. If you consider the Prozac option you should know about the dark side of Prozac and similar antidepressant drugs. The runaway bestsellers for treating depression are fluoxetine hydrochloride and its cousins, sold under the trade names Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lovan, and Luvox, used by about 30 million people worldwide. Fluoxetine hydrochloride inhibits the enzymes that break down serotonin so that more serotonin stays circulating in the brain.
