The Dark Side of Prozac- Questions With No Answers

Prozac, a well known anti-depressive drug in the US, has been acclaimed, recommended and appreciated by millions of people for its fast results. However, when something works wonders for the body, nobody bothers to see beyond its benefits.

Society has come up with several questions for Prozac, and until now, the makers of the medicine haven't managed to answer, why so many suicides because of the use of the drug? One of the darkest sides of Prozac talks about the reversed process that might worsen the depression, and make individuals commit suicide.

Why do people use it for other conditions like obesity, anxiety and pain, if it was approved only for depression and obsessive compulsive disorder? Why choose Prozac that has a specific meaning, and not use proper medicine for obesity, anxiety and pain? All these questions still have no answers in the world of medicine. Sometimes people need stronger drugs to deal with their issues and they found Prozac to be the right candidate regardless of the side effects.

Above all these questions and doubts and suspicions, people are still using it. Prozac makes people feel less sensitive, and therefore they become perplexed which is definitely not good for their actions. They might feel immune to their problems, but their bodies have their limits that won't last forever.
