This is a Kleenex box I came across in the waiting room of the offices of a mental health outpatient service.
It's not just any Kleenex box: it is a wonderfully informative summary of the benefits of an antidepressant drug...
That drug being...
[empty]
"Fancy that... just like normal."
"Yup. Just like NORMAL."
"Wow! This is a drug that really works!
Sue's back to behaving just like normal!"
"Good old reliable Prozac®!"
"Kevin Eric Saunders a/k/a bonze blayk
is burning down his girlfriend's trailer again..."
Vance Packard referred to them as "The Hidden Persuaders".
This one is "hiding in plain sight"...
On Prozac you will fuck up just like normal.
And if your fuckup is extreme?
Prozac is not to blame.
Prozac merely restores one to "normality".
THAT'S JUST WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
PS: Yes, I developed a rash on my buttocks that January.
My GP - who did not prescribe it - thought it wasn't significant.
Sincerely,
Bonze Anne Rose Blayk
