Prozac worked for me as an antidepressant. It worked very well. I was able to finish my thesis and find work and move on. Then it pooped out.

A veil comes down over my eyes. This can be good but it can also be bad. I can't seem to look to the future, I can't work towards a goal, I feel like sleeping. Sadly, I don't have much choice, treatment for OCD is c*rap. At least if I was depressed I'd have some options. On an SSRI, my life is at a standstill, I cannot move forward, I cannot see the future. I am stationary, a bit like a plant.
