What kind of effect has Prozac meds. had on you if you are or have taken it?

i started taking it about 3 months ago and it works...i have a lot less anxiety and don't worry about little things.. i am in a better mood thought the day and i don't have that heavy feeling inside of me anymore..it makes things so much easier to do...everything use to be an effort for me before i started taking it...the only thing that i don't like about it is it makes you forget about little things like calling friends back b/c it makes you worry less..but i just tell them it's one of the side effects not personal...it also improved my self esteem i don't care much about what people think about me...overall it's a great medication...i recommend it don't get discouraged in the beginning it takes a few weeks usually for it's full effect.

Edit:it also helped with with headaches...i use to get them very often maybe twice a week...since i started taking prozac I had a headache once..hehe

Prozac was very successful for me and lifted my depression really quickly... i was soooo happy when i started taking it because it worked so well for me and all my negative feelings disappeared

I found my mood starting to lift after 3 or 4 days, and i found that it gave me a lot more energy and enthusiasm for life.

You don't need to be afraid of it... it is a very safe medicine... there are a lot of scare stories surrounding it, but millions of people take it safely every day.

The only significant negative thing that i found with Prozac was that it made me feel like I was slightly removed from the world - a sort of 'wrapped in cotton wool' feeling - not in a depressed way, but where external things didn't affect my emotions like they usally did... but to begin with that was very good for me because it made the world more bearable.

I happily stayed on Prozac for a year.

Prozac is a lifesaver! It lifted the clouds & let me see the sun again. For me it took a couple weeks to really get much of a lift, but the wait can go up to 6 weeks according to my doc.It has been about 8 years, & the one time they tried to wean me off of it, it took about a week for the depression to creep back in, so it is definitely a long-term thing, at least for me. I know there are horror stories about Prozac, & I believe them, but for me, it has been a life-changing experience, &I would recommend that any one try it, under a doctor's guidance. Good luck!
