Product of the Century: Story of Fluoxetine

In all the research into Prozac's history, one thing stood out that has never appeared with any other invention: gratitude so intense, so personal, that multiple people—strangers to each other—independently said they wanted to kiss its inventor. The light bulb changed civilization, yet no one ever wanted to embrace Edison. Penicillin saved millions, but Fleming never inspired that kind of affection.
