5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking exposure of FDA betrayal and psychiatric negligence, 3 Mar 1998

By A Customer

Breggin makes a convincing case that Prozac is a dangerous drug whose efficacy has never been demonstrated. Even more amazing, though, is his chapter on the tests conducted by Eli Lilly, which he unequivocally exposes as a complete sham. A must-read for anyone and everyone, but especially those who don't understand why there are "psychiatry survivor groups."

2.0 out of 5 stars I dislike extreme views not well argued!, 24 Oct 1998

By A Customer

I found the author's argument unconvincing. I think Kramer's "Listening to Prozac" paints too rosy a picture, while "Talking Back To Prozac" is way too negative. I think the truth is somewhere in between. The comment the author makes repeatedly in the book about the "sick" people who seem to like Prozac is not open minded, and reveals the religious intensity of the author's opposition (I am not taking Prozac!). The close minded arguments of the author turned me off, and I could care less about the bureaucratic problems of the FDA. The truth about depression and the effectiveness of the SSRIs is independent of the FDA's Prozac drug trials, and dumping on a very large part of the medical community because of a strong feeling against SSRIs was not at all convincing to me, and made for an unsatisfying read. His linking of SSRIs to amphetamines seemed very unscientific to me, and he did not reveal how he came up with this conclusion to my satisfaction. I would appreciate a more clinical proof of SSRI ineffectiveness, and would not accept his word for it just because he believes strongly about his point of view. Two words to describe this book is: Too extreme. I disliked this book alot.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought I was going crazy, 6 May 1998

By A Customer

I was on every anti-depressant on the market. None seemed to work. When I was on Prozac and lithium I found that I grew more depressed. I couldn't eat, sleep, I withdrew from my friends and family. I haven't taken an antidepressant in two years and I feel great. I used to have suicidal thoughts every day but now that I am off Prozac I feel 100% better. Reading this book has helped me realize that the way to cure clinical depression is not to resort to antidepressants. They just aren't worth it!! Reading the other book reviews and this book made me aware that I was not the only one who was getting worse while on "anti-depressants". Thank you for the great info.!!
