Prozac—A Vicious Drug

Antidepressants

“Please, do something about this drug. It needs to be taken of the market.”

My name is Kary Jamieson, I was given Prozac two years ago for panic attacks and anxiety. Prozac is a vicious drug, and it quickly turned on me; exacerbated my symptoms, twisting my mind, turning me suicidal and rendering me a dependant cripple. I had to close my professional business in Sydney, and I am now living with my parents at age 37 in Morrinsville NZ. This is TWO YEARS after I stopped taking it. I am still deathly ill in the mornings.

What has saved my life is truehope.com, nutrients, and inositol (vitamin 3) I no longer get panic attacks or anxiety, however, the horrendous side affects of Prozac should be noted, it is a miracle I am still here to write this, Prozac is mind altering, and it is not OK that it may help some people, whilst causing others to be horribly tortured. Please - Please, do something about this drug. It needs to be taken of the market.

Sincerely,

Kary Jamieson
