I was put on Prozac in 1998 for a life-threatening bout with major depression. I also was diagnosed with panic disorder. Before Prozac, my dr. had tried Paxil (terrible dizziness), then imipramine (hallucinations). Prozac was the 3rd and final drug tried, and I am so glad it exists. All my life I felt like I was living in some terrible shadow. On Prozac, my life has become much better. I must add that the Prozac was in conjunction with a year and a half of seeing a psychologist. I do not recommend that ANYONE go on an antidepressant without conjunctive therapy. I am still on a 20mg/day dosage of Prozac because I battle with depressive episodes now and then. Although the terrible shadow still floats around out there, I don't feel oppressed by it any more. I know there are many bad things said about Prozac, but my experiences with it are positive.
