TA ---- Now that post, I enjoyed reading from you. Nicely done. Keep up the posting with that type of comment and I'll be the first to welcome you........ and I still agree with you on a "potential" undiscovered surfacing with regards the ocular reaction as being a long term unrealized problem. Not that it has altered my position of being long PFE , I purchased some more Friday at market close at 115.625. I feel technically that overhead resistance at around the 120 level will be overcome in the next 2 weeks and should it break 122 for several days and stay there for a few more, then 140 is the next target. Regards ---- Nemer

Tunica, your lack of knowledge about psychiatry and psychology has led you to make a number of incorrect statements in your post. On the effectiveness of Prozac in the treatment of disorders other than Major Depression: Prozac has been used for years as one of the few effective pharmaceutical treatments for OCD and anorexia. On the statement that therapy is time-consuming but more effective than Prozac: You have obviously not read the literature on this topic in a long time. Conventional "talk therapy" , when it does work, is systematically paired with the use of pharmaceutical therapy these days. They work synergistically, when talk therapy works at all. And there are types of depression for which talk therapy has not been found effective. Psychologists are NOT having a fit over the discovery of the synergistic pairing of pharmaceutical and talk therapy. We want to minister effectively to our patients and are doing so by working in concert with psychiatrists. BTW, Tunica, any psychiatrist worth his or her salt does NOT "prescribe Prozac and off you go." On your statement "Typically these patients committing suicide have nothing to be depressed about.": If you believe this, you have no understanding of the neurophysiology of depression. Shame on you for making such false and potentially dangerous comments in this public forum!! Poet
