Anyone who takes these drugs is likely to be denied insurance, both heath and

life insurance. The reasoning be that these drugs are first and foremost

psychiatric drugs to treat mental illness. Therefore, anyone who takes them is

presumed to be mentally ill. NO insurer will insure the mentally ill and no

life insurance company will given life insurance to someone who is likely to

kill themselves (even though most don't pay after suicide), but there's the

inherent risk of massive medical bills, etc. If you husband had no previous

history of mental illness and his doctor erroneously prescribed Prozac for

something

other than a mental illness, you may have a suit against the doctor, but

don't count on it.
