Old news!

"In August 2004 a report by the Environment Agency found trace amounts
of fluoxetine in UK drinking water, although the Drinking Water
Inspectorate said that it was unlikely to pose a health risk.[17]
However, the effects from ingestion of fluoxetine in drinking water
have not been investigated."

The levels will be positively homeopathic. There's plenty more scary
stuff in drinking water.

"A spokesman for the Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI) said the Prozac
found was most likely highly diluted."
