BBC news reports that so many people are taking Prozac that it's building up in rivers and groundwater, contaminating the English drinking water supply with Prozac.  The Drinking Water Inspectorate of course says it's unlikely to pose a health risk, but I'd say it's cause for concern....

This comes after findings in April this year that when studies withheld by the drug companies were taken into account as well as those they published, the risks outweighed the benefits for all SSRI antidepressants but fluoxetine (Prozac).
