Been on Prozac?

I haven't, but I'm on another SSRI now, and I can't begin to see this as a drug useful for placating the masses. If anything, it's increased my motivation to fix things that are broken. It's replaced apathy with a wide range of sometimes intense emotions.

Some people call them happy pills, but my experience is they're something else entirely.

Actually I haven't. Alcohol is my drug of choice and now that I think about it, in terms of use is probably the closest thing we have to SOMA.
