I read in the mid-early 90's Prozac was one of the top 10 prescribed mediciations.
What happened to it? new SSRI's blockbustered over it?
I know why Paxil has gotten bad reviews, with suicide.

Yep ;-)
It's still very popular in the UK though. Lexapro hasn't really caught on here.

I am an "original" Prozac fan, I still like it best of all that have come out in that class and I have been taking it since 1991.
Today, I asked my Psychiatrist if I was the only one and he said "no" that he still had several patients that used it.
Seems to me that each of the SSRIs push "different buttons" in the brain and some people respond better to slightly different different buttons being pushed than others. That is why we all have to experiment and try them out and find the ones make us feel better, not worse.
