Isn't Prozac a tranquilliser

It's usually given for anti-anxiety and to ease depression, but one of it's
hit and miss side effects is possible aggressive behaviour. I had a friend
who took it (along with most everything else GPs could throw at her for
depression) and it made her into a total confrontational 'mare (her
assessment rather than mine).

It is only a
thought, and don't want to be alarmist, but should we ignore that
possibilty? Anyway, its pretty alarming that it should be getting into
the water at all.


Is it effecting posters to this news group.


Not enough, in some cases. ;-)

Mania is indeed one of its possible side-effects.

p.s. Any report with 'experts' and not a named source is just about the same
as saying my mate down the pub said.

Not likely. Have you thought of how much water a child would have to
drink without bursting before an effective dose was imbibed?


Probably proportional to the dose of chemicals that fish need to effect
their development.


Some of these things are concentrated by the food chain.
Eating fish and shellfish in some parts of Europe is not a
particularly healthy thing to do.

Hot Sellafield Prawns anybody?


Already boiled when you catch them.

LOL! I went on a tour of Cap de la Hague and they gave us a delicious lunch
afterwards. As we contemplated the trout we were about to devour, one of
our party muttered "these buggers were goldfish this morning". ;-)

Obviously, you haven't considered the threat from homeopathic

pollution :-)

Yes. I forgot. By those standards it would be utterly deadly.


So there is a roll for particle physics in real life? :-)


Would that be a roll spread with quark?
