> > I have been on Prozac 9 days [started 4 days at 10 mg] and am now on 20 mg. I weaned off Zoloft [after 7 weeks] about a week ago, and because I took the Prozac I had no withdrawl effects from the Zoloft. I have no side effects from the Prozac, and the last week I took Zoloft I started to feel a little better. I take .5 Xanax generic before bedtime. The Prozac seems to be working well cause I went on three job interviews which I never could have done before. I had no motivation to do that. If this med continues to work for me I am staying on it forever. I came off Paxil once after 4 months and my symptoms returned, and it did not work well the 2nd time I took it. Any Prozac success stories? Anything I should know?

My doctor has said something similar about success with Prozac. I took it for a few years and was happy with the results. The only reason I switched to a different medication is that it was not as effective for me when I restarted it after taking a break from it when I was pregnant.Shell
