Seconded. Human psychophysiology varies so much that it is not a good idea
to generalize from a single case. E.S.Y. has discovered that Prozac is evil
*for E.S.Y.*. That's good. He's learned something about his own body which
should possibly be inscribed in NINE FOOT HIGH LETTERS OF FLAMING GASOLINE
- in his own backyard.

Paxil is another useful selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; some people
I know have had good effects from it. Another way of raising effective
serotonin levels is by taking more precursors to serotonin such as
5-hydroxy-tryptophan.
John Morgenthaler's Life Enhancement Products (1-800-543-3973 for further
info) sells it in a tasty drink mix. It has pleasant effects. YMMV. (5-HTP
is legal to sell, though tryptophan is not.)
