Society | The Guardian | Prozac, used by 40m people, does not work say scientists

".....Prozac, the bestselling antidepressant taken by 40 million people worldwide, does not work and nor do similar drugs in the same class, according to a major review released today.

The study examined all available data on the drugs, including results from clinical trials that the manufacturers chose not to publish at the time. The trials compared the effect on patients taking the drugs with those given a placebo or sugar pill.

When all the data was pulled together, it appeared that patients had improved - but those on placebo improved just as much as those on the drugs." 

 

Lucretia's comments:
See whole article however keep in mind what Dr. Blaylock said in his article on vaccinations and depression, it is the INFLAMMATION in the body from either toxins, lack of important nutrients and/or VACCINATIONS that CAUSE chronic inflammation in the brain, this inflammation causes glutamate levels in the brain to rise (as does Aspartame and MSG that is glutamate itself), that depresses serrotonin and dophamine levels which ARE linked to the "Chemical Imbalance" that is "depression".  The ONLY drugs found to work on depression were NONE (that's ZERO, ZIP, NADA) of the anti-depressant drugs but rather drugs that reduced inflammation ("Ketamine is a powerful blocking drug for a class of glutamate receptors (NMDA receptors" )) !!!  Side effects of such a drug is absolutely alarming.  On the other hand, the siide-effects of eating a healthy diet and supplementing your diet with important natural plant based nutrients...well most claims they are now looking great, feeling great and living well..
