What are your experiences with Prozac?!
Question: I've just been prescribed Prozac. It is supposed to help with my anxiety and depression issues. I have now taken the drug 2 days and I feel kind of stoned towards the afternoon. Today I was pretty much on edge. I know my body is recognizing that there is a foreign substance and it will take time to feel the full effects. So, I would like to know some of your personal experiences while taking this medication. I have been prescribed 20 mg for the first 30 days. Thank You!

well prozac has helped me tremendously!
a month ago i felt like i was going to loose it and kill myself..everything was horriable and i was in a big black hole that i felt like i would never get out of..
prozac has seriously helped me out of all of that..and i never thought i would feel better until it helped..
i have taking zoloft and cymbalta before and they both have not helped as much as prozac..i promise it is worth a shot..
if it doesnt work for you then you can switch to something else but i see no harm in trying
After taking it for a year I started having vivid real life dreams that were about murder and lots of horrible things. I quit taking it after talking to my Dr.
They were very disturbing and every dream haunted me for days.
I lost weight and felt on an even keel with my depression however.
i took it fie for about a year then had to increase my dosage eventually up to 200mg a day!!!
it freaked me out and i quit taking it... 6 years later im still kinda freaked out.
As a nutritional, psychologist I believe that drugs should only be used as a last resort. Most forms of depression and/or anxiety are caused by a nutritional disorder. Please ask to be referred to a Nutritional Doctor or a Clinical Nutritionist.
