Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed in 2000, Miramax films planned on releasing the film in late 2001, but shelved it indefinitely in the US even with the massive anticipation by Christina Ricci's male fans to see her first nude scene. A number of reasons were given for the delay, from the unlikeable nature of the central heroine to writer Elizabeth Wurtzel's offensive comments about 9/11, to the fact that Wurtzel noted that the movie was "horrible." The movie finally debuted on the Starz! network in 2005 when, following the exit of Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein from Miramax, all pending films were released, in one form or another.
- GoofsElizabeth has a Bruce Springsteen "Tunnel of Love" album poster hanging in her room in 1985. The album was not released until 1987.
- Crazy creditsDuring the opening credits, the close-up shots of the letters Elizabeth is typing form the sentence, "I hate myself and I want to die."

Featured review
great acting and strong adaptation.....
i watched Prozac nation for the first time last night online. i was drawn immediately to the strong narrative by Rici's character. i could relate to her despair especially as a young adult. Thats what depression can do. It distorts reality. The story line is straight forward. So much so that its really the words and Rici's performance that kept me interested. I would recommend watching it. But its not an uplifting movie. But its honest. I would of liked to see some more flashback scenes to better understand the childhood experiences but i think the mothers performance helped in that area. I thought the scene where she first takes the e was well done.
