        <p align="left"><strong>History of Prozac:</strong> Prozac 
          is a drug that was released by the Eli Lilly corporation in 1987 aimed 
          at fighting depression which currently makes <strong><font color="#339966">over 
          $1 billion</font></strong> annually. Prozac is a member of the <a href="index.htm">Selective 
          Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor</a> family, which synthetically attempts 
          to reduce depression by blocking the exit path of serotonin from the 
          synapse. Studies have shown these drugs are typically found effective 
          in 60 - 80% of those who try Prozac, which is similar to that of St 
          Johns Wort.</p>
        <p align="left"><strong>How does Prozac work?</strong> Like other SSRIs, 
          Prozac can take nearly a month to take full effect. Serotonin slowly 
          builds up in the synapses as it is created and its outlets are synthetically 
          blocked off (at least partially) from the brain cells. Using natural 
          antidepressants such as <a href="../../alternative/5htp.htm">5HTP</a> 
          can cause noticeable change on a quicker timeline at a far cheaper price. 
          Another benefit of using natural antidepressants is that they lack many 
          of the side effects synthetic drugs like Prozac offer.</p>
        <p align="justify"><strong>Prozac caution:</strong> Although each SSRI 
          manufacture admit they do not know how their respective drugs work, 
          each claim that they help to correct a &#8220;chemical imbalance of 
          the brain.&#8221; SSRIs prescribed in the wrong dose can cause severe 
          imbalances.</p>
