hi ya,

i hope you find the Fluoxetine help you, don't forget it can take up to 6 weeks for you to feel the benefit of taking them and for any side effects to lessen.

They are one of the milder anti-depressants (this doesn't mean theyre less effective) you can get and do have considerably less side effects than most

good luck :D:wub:

Good ole Prozac huh? Well, it IS worth a try - I used them once and they helped me really well. However, there is something called the Prozac Crash - be careful of this cause it really can happen. Basically - one day, they just stop working. Please dont be frightened by this - it doesn't happen to everyone.... Just want you to have all the info cause I have been through this.... There is a book written about it called the Prozac Diary by a woman called Lauren Slater. On the cover it says 'A brilliantly textured memoir that questions whats "normal" if your psyche is a lightning-scarred battlefield'

Hope I havent worried you but I just want you to know what can happen - but then every drug is different for everyone huh?

Can I join the party?

I'm moving up from 20 to 60mg prozac daily as of tomorrow!

One thing I'll say about Prozac- I've never found getting out of bed in the morning to be an easy task for me, but these pills are making a difference.

I'll get my party hat...
