Testing the physiological effects of these compounds at least 27 deaths had been linked to Prozac’s use before the drug was released. One of the documents shows that as of October 15, 1987, two months before Prozac was allowed on the market, there had already been 15 suicides linked to it - six by overdose, four by gunshot, three by hanging and two by drowning.
