Millions of Americans are on it to treat everything from serious depression to shyness, obesity, PMS, and back pain. They've been told it has few, or no, side effects.

What essential facts must you have if you are already taking Prozac, or are considering taking it? Find out:

-What Prozac's label won't tell you
-The truth about serious and life-threatening reactions
-Cases of sexual dysfunction from Prozac, particularly in men
-If Prozac can lead to violence, murder, or suicide
-The panic and anxiety Prozac can cause-not cure
-What Prozac has in common with cocaine and amphetamines
