There're so many Prozac-takers in the UK that urine-borne traces of unmetabolised antidepressent have contaminated the drinking-water supply.
An Environment Agency report suggests so many people are taking the drug nowadays it is building up in rivers and groundwater...

The DWI said the Prozac was unlikely to pose a health risk as it was so "watered down"...

The exact amount of Prozac in the nation's drinking water is not known.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
