I missed out another humourous event in my account of my treatment.
Before I was given PROZAC the doctor advised SEROXAT. (PAXIL in the USA). When I asked if that was any good, she replied "Well I use it on my horse to stop him being frightened when jumping big jumps and it works just fine."
Needless to say I insisted on another drug, as I figured that there was a risk that she was giving me horse medicine to save money. You have to be careful with the NHS.
PS: I feel sorry for the horse. I bet he doesn't get any tapering when she stops it.
