i have been on prozac for five years. it helps as far as depression goes,but my problems now are weight gain,hatefull feeling and do not care about alot of things that use to bother me.so iguess that is the best part. i do feel that it has done wanders though it soundslike it has not.i personally would not go off it .i really am better because of it.i was angry all the time,also hide inside myself and did absolutely nothing. please try it if u have some symtoms.3622 asked if any was on zanax yes it also helps tremendously.
