Do Prozac, Zoloft, And Paxil Really Work?

I will say that drugs like Paxil and Zoloft do help some people and I won't and have not denied this. However, I would like to point out that those of us who use these drugs and others like them should be more aware of their benefits and drawbacks than we currently are.
