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.
