I've heard a lot about this new drug in terms of hype, but very little as to how effective it really is. The data about it that I've looked at seemed OK, but for these types of medications only the trial of the market can really determine efficacy and safety.

i have looked over article. but i also have heard Prozac is generally considered a poor treatment method and in some studies the use of such drugs has suggested it can actually increase the problem.
