I was on Prozac for 6 years..during which my husband was dieing.
Four years before and 2 years after. He was on oxygen for 4 years during which I took care of him, kids, and worked full time.With in 3 days of first taking it I stopped crying. It did help me cope with everything. I didn't bring work home with me which was good as I am in a very stressful job.
The problem I found taking it was I had no emotions which I guess was a good thing at that time of my life. I was never happy, sad, never felt intense love, basically numb. I also was tired during day hours when I took it in the morning, so I took it before I went to bed.
Years after he passed I wanted to start a relationship but I had no interest in Sex. Which is not a good thing when getting into a relationship. I was told by my doctor that is included as a side effect for Prozac.
The doctor put me on Wellbutrin to see if that was any better, as I'm told you feel more like yourself. I do have emotions now, which after all those years of not having any, I had to learn how to deal with emotions.
When going off of Prozac I did notice a slight change in sexual desire. But anything helps.
I got married 2 years ago and now I'm dealing with the menopause symptoms. If its not one thing its another.

I have only been on Wellbutin for about a week. I am new to this. My main side effect is that I am tired all the time. I read how it gives many of you energy. Well not me. I am tired all the time and I to have feeling of just not caring. It's like I fell nothing. No emotions at all. My co-workers asked me what was wrong, because I am normally outgoing, the social butterfly of our office. The past week, I have not felt like being around people. Like it takes up too much of my energy to be social. I have also had a severe lack of concentration and some memory loss. I am ADD but it seems like it is making me worse. I also suffer from insomnia, not due to the medication. But I have found that even when I take my medication for sleep, I can't fall asleep.
If anyone has experienced loss of emotion, you can email me at ******. I am interested in knowing how you dealt with it.

I have been on Wellbutin for a week now. I am sleeping better, getting out of bed easier, no weight gain, more energy. I mostly see bad effects listed from people. Are there people who are reacting well on these?

my son started zyprexa almost 3 years ago and has gained over 100 pounds! my little boy is gone, hes double the child he was, and most of it was in the first year. He stopped taking zyprxa 3months ago, the first thing we noticed was how good his face looks, now his belly is even with his chest, his self confudence is better than I've seen in him in years! He doing better in school than he has in 3 yrs. Hes getting out of the house and going on with life. All this in 3months, makes me wonder about if he really needs the lithium & wellbutin, not ready to stop any other meds. yet, but this wonderful change since quitting zyprexa makes me start to think if the pills are just a scam,and the threats of what will happen if you quit is a contrlling fear, if it was my health I would quit in a minute, but its my son,and I'm afraid of taking that chance with him.
