OK, some quotation (of dubious sourcing), talking about how flouride is bad...(wall of text)
How... Informative?
Allow me to reiterate, since it clearly didn't sink in;
Your implied parallels between fluoexetine (a specific molecule, which contains the structure of flourine within it) and "flouride" (actually, "flourides", there is no substance that exists in isolation called "flouride"... it refers to a diverse class of compounds that share the flouride halide), are not equivalent.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floride said:Fluorine-containing compounds range from potent toxins such as sarin to life-saving pharmaceuticals such as efavirenz, and from inert materials such as calcium fluoride to the highly reactive sulfur tetrafluoride.
For any degree of fluoride poisoning to take place, a compound would have to release fluoride ions (or create them via reactions with other compounds).
Fluoxetine, during it's entire metabolism, does not do this.
It, in fact, has only one known biologically active metabolite (interestingly enough, it's another substance with SSRI properties, and is part of the reason fluoxetine has such a long elimination half life).
Also, even if we disregard the fact that what you just posted has no relation to fluoxetine, if you believe the enclosed statements to be true, then people would be facing astronomically higher "fluoride" exposure risks through drinking fluoridated water than they would even through high therapeutic doses of fluoxetine...
You're not a doctor; don't pretend to be.
And as clearly demonstrated here, you don't have any real knowledge of pharmaceuticals or chemistry; don't pretend you do.
You're just copy-pasting horseshit from misinformed conspiracy theory sites.
I implore you to find something better to do with your supposedly valuable time than spread propaganda you don't even comprehend.
