Hey. The appetite loss is a common side effect with prozac. That is one of the socially desirable effects of the stuff - except, of course, when peoples weight dangerously deteriorates. And... No matter how thin you are (ideally by social standards) those tics and other Parkensonian symptoms just aren't socially appreciated...

Maybe in another 10 years... The extra pyramidal syndromes will be taken seriously enough such that prescribing practices will be restricted. That is about when the patient runs out... And that will be about when... The next 'wonder drug' will be about due to appear on the scene.

With another 10-15-20 years before that one gets restricted too...

And the drug companies get richer...
