It's a trick question. Tolkien's works are also antidepressants.

I should be ashamed for not knowing all the kings of Gondor
35Some are really challenging, my score was lower...

19/24, one of the accents threw me off. Also some of these are just wrong - sildenafil (Viagra), amantadine and at least one more are not antidepressants at all, and a few of the remaining ones are truly super obscure. "Introduced in Russia in the late 60s", "Indian antidepressant from 1982", "Formerly marketed in Spain and Marocco" etc
21Viagra is an antidepressant in a very indirect way, in that you usually feel quite a bit happier after making use of its effects!
6At first I thought you were talking about something like whatever-iazid, the first "antidepressant" that was actually an antibiotic and the antidepressive effect was completely accidental. But yeah, I suppose that makes sense, too.

For the purposes of the quiz just being a drug of some sort is probably close enough to add a few more rounds. One might also argue that Viagra makes a peen harder to depress? Anyway if they didn't put in fake Tolkien names or names from other authors I figure it's fine.

Wow, 14/24 that was more difficult than I thought. TBF I haven't fully reread the Silmarillion since Middle School, but I didn't expect it to be quite this hard.
16I have the same score!
3Some of the names were really similar

16/24, that shit got hard
13Agreed! Got the same score as you btw 🤜🤛

9/24, how is this possible lmao
1019/24 I see an É and I assume Tolkein. Oh well.
8Me too... I was so sure about "Clélial" and instead...

17/24, the extended marathon is overdue, that's probably why
7While an extended version marathon is always due, it won't improve your score here. Lord of the Rings (books and movies) don't cover most of the characters.
7Absolutely, was just talking about not being in the loop, but the books are on queue too ^^ (not only lord of the rings)
3Yeah, I've read the books and watched the movies, but still only got 12/24, or exactly the same as I'd expect to get by picking answers at random.

20/24 - with some luck
718/24 and I've never even finished reading LotR or gotten around to getting an antidepressant prescription. I did borrow the Simarillion from the library for months though, opened it a couple times but never got around to reading it. I just know a little bit about Tolkien's linguistics and the way drug brand names work, but I got scared once I got one wrong.
618/24, nice one
619/24, mostly by luck than knowledge of LOTR.
624/24, cos while i dont know any antidepressants, i do know my tolkien... :)
6Literally half or more of the drugs aren't antidepressants...
5I got 15/23. I refuse to take the point on successfully guessing "Bilbo" because that was a freebie
5Pilbo

19/24 that was fun
