60 mgs of Prozac seems to work better for me than 40 mgs. I still feel joy and happiness, but I also don't cry [which is good]; and think a little detachment is a much better way to get along in this life and society. I don't want to wear my heart of my sleeve. It hurts too much. I don't feel my personality is changed; it's still me, only better. A little apathy is okay. [Just my humble opinion]

> Prozac has made me very apathetic. I do prefer that to depression, but the last few years I began to realize how this also changed my personality. I have just started working with a pdoc( tonight's my 2nd visit). He put me on Depakote for sleep and staiblization, but frankly I don't think that is what I need. I will discuss stimulants as well as other drugs that I have learned about here with him this evening.
