Need to Talk about Prozac
FOUND by Jodi Krumel
in Indianapolis, Indiana
This was found stuck to the counter at a busy downtown lunch spot where I work. I like to picture this as some dirty underground drug deal, but its probably some Eli Lilly drug reps needing to talk about infusing more Prozac into medicated America.

This bright colored note doesn't really fit the mood of the note, I don't think..or the exclamation mark. hmmmm...
it could be almost anything - I/my wife/neighbour/dog is depressed and I'm wondering about your experiences with prozac; the boss saw a bottle of prozac on your desk and says she wants to talk to you - thought I would give you a heads up; wondering where I can get me some, Bernie said you would know ...
can't these note leavers be more explicit for our sakes?
that little hook on the N in the signature seems a little sinister to me--as if saying "warning, I am trying to 'hook' you . . . ." and the T at the end seems all kinda stabby. I think Nat probably NEEDS that PROSAC freakin' NOW.
I always thought Prozac seemed like a super hero name, I think this note confirms my theory. Gary is the dull day time alter ego of the happiness bringing hero Prozac!
Now I've blown his cover I could be in mortal peril, fair well sweet world, you needed to know the truth. Adieu.
This is a note from the Nation, to Gary Indiana.
Gary, I need to talk to you about Nat. Thanks!
I read somewhere recently that the state which uses the most Prozac is Utah...interesting, with so many Mormons living there. A Mormon neighbor once told me that their motto is "lose yourself in service". Not judging...just trying to make some connections.
Maybe they called their dog Prozac.
Or Nat might be referring to the movie that he never got back from Gary and he really wants to see it.
Or this might be like the "talk," but about Prozac.
"When a man loves a woman, he marries her, then realizes what a terrible mistake he's made,..."
Eli Lilly infusing more Prozac into medicated America IS a dirty underground drug deal.
It is weird how the r and o connect...almost like the o has some thing hanging off of it. The word could almost be Pozac. "Gary, I need to talk to you about Pozac."
All kinds of possibilities:
Nat needs a prescription refilled;
Nat thinks Gary is doing too much Prozac;
Nat thinks Gary needs to up his dosage;
Nat thinks Gary needs to up Gary's dosage;
Or that either dosage should be lowered;
Nat is doing a report for school and wants a first-person account of Prozac's effects;
Nat is a music critic doing a piece on one of the many bands with the word "prozac" in their name;
Nat is trying the get Gary, the music critic, to write about the band;
.....
I need to go do something else.
I remember needing to talk to someone about Prozac...about why I had been unable to sleep for 3 days...about why the walls seemed to shimmer as if water were running down them...about why everyone was talking about the cool weather when I was boiling hot all the time. And I'd only been taking it for about 5 days.
When I finally talked to someone they said to stop taking it and flush it out of my system by drinking lots of fluids. So much for "happy pills."
Treat the problem, not the symptom.
@Baby basil - When I took Prozac, I finally felt normal again. Go figure.
not just another...Gary, Indiana is EXACTLY what I thought of too when i first read it !
Hey Nat, we need to talk about... er... oh no, it's not important. Whatever.
This reminds me of the note I got for my "surprise" intervention. I foolishly thought we were all going to sit down and have a few drinks, a bottle of pills, some cocaine......and I was thinking, "wow! everyone got cool all of a sudden!" Should'a known that was too good to be true. By the way, why does anyone think that being confronted by all their friends and loved ones and being lambasted about your habits is helpful? Just breeds resentment, in my opinion. Sticky notes ARE less threatening on pink paper, though.....
Uh oh. Nat just joined Scientology.
What restaurant was it? I'm just curious.
This has nothing to do with the note.
I absolutely love it when people call me Nat.
No one seems to want to though.
I've been imagining everyone on this post is talking about me.
And it's made me happy.
I don't find anything wrong with this. people who take prozac may really be depressed and thats not fun i know first hand
When i have a secret lover that i want to discuss with friends we usually make up a code name for them,relating with the name or starting with the same letter. Maybe "Prozac" is a code name for someone. That would explain the exited, bold feeling of the note.
conorsailor, that's funny: my dear friend (now happily married) had an ex-boyfriend to whom we referred as "Prozac."
babybasil, sorry for your weird experience & glad you got off it. Hope things got better afterwards! I've been somewhere similar.
