Talking Back To Prozac by Peter R Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin

About the book: Is Prozac a miracle drug...or a nightmare?

Millions of Americans are on it to treat everything from serious depression to shyness, obesity, PMS, and back pain. 

They have been told it has few, or no, side effects. 

But what is the dark side of Prozac? 

Has the FDA told you everything it knows about the drug's potentially dangerous side effects? 

What essential facts must you have if you are already taking Prozac, or are considering taking it? 

Find out:

- What Prozac's label would not tell you

- The truth about serious and life-threatening reactions

- Cases of sexual dysfunction from Prozac, particularly in men

- If Prozac can lead to violence, murder, or suicide

- The panic and anxiety Prozac can cause-not cure

Talking Back to Prozac: What Doctors Aren't Telling You about Today's Most Controversial Drug (1994) is the only book that tells you the truth behind its testing and its potentially frightening side effects.
