Prozac and related drugs can cause a manic condition of
physical and mental agitation. About 1 in 16 people who use these drugs report
this side effect. Far more people experience nervousness, restlessness,
anxiety, and uncharacteristic aggressiveness. Another side effect associated
with these antidepressants is increased thoughts of suicide. Dr. David Healy
published a study in 200 showing that when people with no mental illness or
prior history of depression were administered the drug Zoloft, 20 percent
became suicidal! This class of drugs also increased the tendency towards
self-harm. So my suggestion is, if you're taking these drugs, let a friend know
so they can give you feedback on your behavior.
