Any truth to the book "Prozac Backlash"?

Can even a single-dose of an SSRI be enough to alter brain-
chemistry for the rest of a patients life, or is this
merely an agenda-serving book? Comments and dialogue
welcome.

No evidence to support it. I'd favor the "agenda-
serving" answer.

In general, only a toxic effect can alter a body
permanently. Such toxic effects _may_ be mentioned in the
PDR.

Western medicine works on cause and effect. Conservative
western medicine, by definition, deals with not-cause and
not-effect, that is, reversible attempts at treatment.
Surgery is not by definition irreversible but usually is.

ECT is in the debated area between the two.

Sorry are you saying "yes" or no"? Can SSRI's alter a
person's neuro-chemistry on a permant basis? This book
practically suggests simply looking at prozac can
cause that.
