Prozac Can Cause Bone Problems
I've long bitched about the fact that there are virtually no studies on the long-term use of psych meds in patients. This is true of anti-depressants. Kind of startling given how widely Prozac and its cousins have been used for the last 15 years. Apparently, the lives and well-being of tens of millions who take these drugs is not important to our government and pharma companies once a drug is licensed for short-term use. Here's a Norweigan study that should give new impetus to the need for long-term studies. The study states that Prozac may stop bone-building cells and lead to the breakdown of bone mass. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous.
