What doctors aren't telling you about today's most controversial drug. - Peter R. Breggin, M.D. Dears Readers: I wrote Talking Back to Prozac because of my compassion for the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from depression, and for the many people who are being misled by the current emphasis on antidepress ants as safe and effective treatments. I believe that they deserve, but up until now have failed to receive, honest information from the medical and psychiatric community about Prozac. Nearly all the currently available information on this new "miracle cure" for depression is sugar coated by experts devoted to the promotion of psychiatric drugs. I am one of the few psychiatric drug experts in the country without ties to the pharmaceutical companies, and can therefore speak openly about Prozac. I wrote Talking Back to Prozacfor anyone thinking about taking the drug, for those who are taking it and think they may be "better than well," for those who want to stop taking it but feel they can't, and for families and physicians of anyone who suffers from depression. They need to know the full s t ory about Prozac, and to know that there are non-drug alternatives to help them recover and rebuild their lives. Talking Back to Prozac offers the reasons and the inspiration for replacing mind-alt e ri ng drugs with hope, love, and life. Sincerely Peter Breggin.
