In reply to What about PROZAC?, posted by Franz on August 4, 2005, at 21:38:41
Prozac is actually different enough from the others that it is sometimes called an atypical ssri. I have tried all of the ssri's and I like prozac the best. Celexa, paxil, and zoloft all felt pretty similar to me, but prozac feels very different from them. It isn't so emotionally numbing like the others, and it doesn't have bad sexual side effects like the others, to me anyway. It is mildly stimulating and I like that. My only problem with it is that if my dose goes over 20mg, I get agitated. Insomnia is a problem too, so something else is needed for good sleep. I take low dose zyprexa for that.
Prozac was the leader and is still the best in my own experience. The other copycats can be good, but they lack a certain something that prozac has.
