My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague. His blood work consistantly comes back with low amylase and lipase. Yet they dont see any need for further investigation. I have been told he has a sensitive stomach. As a mother I see more. I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...

I was on Prozac for 6 years..during which my husband was dieing.
-- By pegy | Reply | (2) replies | Send Private MailFour 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.
