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

    21/24

    I should be ashamed for not knowing all the kings of Gondor

    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

    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.

    Same score as me, but my first thought was that I know too much about LOTR

    Though I only guessed on a couple

    Perhaps I also know too many antidepressants

    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.

    19/24 I see an É and I assume Tolkein. Oh well.

    18/24 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.

    17/24, the extended marathon is overdue, that's probably why

    While 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.

    19/24, mostly by luck than knowledge of LOTR.

    I got 15/23. I refuse to take the point on successfully guessing "Bilbo" because that was a freebie

    Literally half or more of the drugs aren't antidepressants...
