With more and more people taking prescription drugs there is a problem for those of us who don't take these drugs. The US Geological Surveys latest findings are truly eye opening. This organization recently developed a test to detect antidepressant in river water and brains of fish. These tests took place downstream from several sewage treatment plants in the state of Colorado. These tests confirmed that the drugs fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertaline (Zoloft) were quite common in the water and the brains of fish.
