DALLAS (Reuters) - What could be more peaceful, more restful or more relaxing than dropping a line into a quiet Texas lake and trying to hook a fish that is on Prozac.

According to a study by a Baylor University toxicologist, fluoxetine -- the active ingredient in the antidepressant Prozac -- is making its way to a lake in the Dallas area and into the tissue of the fresh water blue gill fish.

Bryan Brooks, an assistant professor of environmental studies at Baylor said the fluoxetine most likely made its way through a waste water treatment plant and into a river that feeds into Lake Lewisville, northwest of Dallas.

"If we release something in the environment, we need to understand what will happen to it," Brooks said.

1. Funny you should post this -

I was talking with my wife about giving the cat Prozac not two hours ago. Now she (the cat) demands to be fed at 11PM, 2AM, 5AM and 8AM. Perhaps appetite suppressant is what we need ?

3. Put down dry food and leave it...if the cat wants to eat he/she will not

have to bother you. Let canned food be a treat given about twice a week.

2. Considering the sexual side effects

there aint gonna be no fish anymore
