10mg made me feel high. It helped with my depression and my ocd. I thought maybe an higher dose would help me feel even more better, it just made me feel like not interested in anything anymore, don't care about anything anymore, complain alot, and feel like wanna hurt people. I think it is not really a good drug for people who have bipolar disorder. I think the lower the dose the better you will be but this doesn't apply to everyone.

Like some of you I did experience extream irritability and very hateful thoughts. This happened within a week of starting prozac. It was not until later that I found out that people with Bipolar disorder should never be put on prozac it can make them very volitile and often often results in them thinking about and taking action on violent behavior. If you have this side effect weather you are diagnosed Bipolar or not stop the medication at once and contact your physician. I have always found that using a psychiatrist who specializes in medication to balance out the chemicals in the brain to be more succesful.
