Hi,

I'm looked over *Prozac Backlash*, and it really is excessively alarmist, in my opinion.

The unfortunate truth is that we simply DON'T KNOW much about the long-term effects (if any) of the SSRI's. I think Dr. Glenmullen is mostly addressing his book to the mildly depressed who would be better served by therapy or a change of lifestyle and who shouldn't be popping these drugs like candy. If you are suicidally depressed, you should take what you need.

That said, I am still more comfortable taking Parnate, and if I were a psychiatrist I would use tricyclics as a first line AD rather than SSRI's.
