Prozac and tremendously

My experience with Prozac has been for a period of 7 months . It took at least a month to feel the effects. It has helped me tremendously I had obsessive compulsive thoughts before and I was diagnosed as clinically depressed. As my therapist once told me people confuse sadness for depression for example "I broke up with my boyfriend I am depressed" This is not so you are sad yes but depressed no. Depression seems to be an overused word and in that case people who think they should be on this drug don't really need to be on it and thats why it has no effect on them at all. Those people need to let time do its work on you.
As for those of us who really do have depression in a very serious way a chemical imbalance yes it does help. And for those of you debating will I gain weight or won't I this should not really be an issue of why you shouldn't take Prozac. Is peace of mind not the best choice. I am very happy with Prozac yes I do have the side effect of less sex drive but I am willing to continue with this path because I feel great emotionally and the Obsessive compulsive thoughts have disappeared. And before I couldn't sleep much with everything running through my head all the time. Now I sleep like a baby.

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.
