In reply to Anyone still taking Prozac?, posted by tanner257 on April 16, 2005, at 9:22:52
Prozac was the only SSRI that lifted me out of my depression and didn't cause hypomania. I tried to go on it again, but it didn't work! I don't know why.
But yes, I think Prozac is still used a lot.
At least it has a long half-life so coming off it is easy. You can go cold turkey!
