sirrah,
I was never on Prozac but a close 'cousin, Effexor, for about six months. I switched over from Celexa about two months ago(after 3 years on celexa) to Lexapro and found that my depression had lifted some. Mostly I do not have the night sweats or delays in labido response.
Like any medication, sirrah, it works well for a while.. for some it works for years.. and then your body or mind decided that its needs are not being met by the current med and it needs a different combo. I explain it to my patients that its like the differences we all go through in our life cycle..childhood, adolsence, young adulthood, mature adhulthood and old age. all these stages are more gradual and for most of us our minds and bodys have time to get used to the changes. Illness, esp chronic illnesses, come on and invade and change our life cycles. our job is to learn how to make our lives as good as we can with in whatever boundaries we have to face...
A famous woman, Helen keeer, said once, The only person who can make you truly happy is you...
Prety smart for someone who was blind,deaf and mute...
