Number of People on Prozac in the United States, by Year, by Individual Age, 2006-2013:
Note that due to possible duplication of data for the individual ages below (where a person might change age in a year and be counted twice), the data cannot be summed for individual ages (i.e., adding the number of 1 year olds to the number of 2 year olds). Please use the sums provided for the specific age groups above, as those have been deduplicated.
