Prozac, having failed as an antihypertensive then anti-obesity drug, was marketed as an antidepressant after it lifted the spirits of five mildly depressed volunteers according to this article in the U.K. Mail. The drug, 25 years later, is marketed as a near-panacea despite “warnings that it does not actually work for millions of patients, and can cause significant harm to adults, unborn children and the environment.”
