> I am taking 60 mgs of Prozac. My boyfriend of 5 months broke off with me by phone with no real explanation. I did not freak out, have terrible anxiety, cry, go nuts, etc. because of the Prozac. I felt 'insulated' and ready to move on without any bad feelings about him. {He treated me well the whole time]. Even though I don't feel very different, I am amazed at my handling emotionally of this matter. I still have feelings of joy and caring, but I don't go overboard anymore. Just wanted to post a positive piece.

Hi Joy,
I can definitely relate. In my opinion, and it is just my opinion, Prozac is still the most time-tested antidepressant there is, and is much better in a lot of ways than all the other copycat ADs. Prozac has worked wonders for me too, and I kick myself in the butt every time I think of all the other dozens of drugs I tried first before I tried Prozac. Prozac should have been the very first drug on the list, and I wonder why I didn't try it earlier. I guess we all like to think the newer copycat ADs have something new or special to offer compared to the older ones. But they don't. I think the psychiatric world would be a whole lot more successful if all we had to choose from in the AD category was Prozac first, Zoloft second, Effexor third. If none of them worked out, then move on to antipyschotics and stimulants and forget about other ADs. Just my opinion.

Like you, I am very supportive of Prozac. It is the standard to which all others should be compared.
John
