I'm in my third week of Prozac and feeling so much better. I tried three other medications before this and was so burnt out on trying to find something that would work. The Prozac isn't perfect and I've had to figure out the best time of day to take it and the dosage. I'm still working on that, but overall, I feel better. The excessive guilt has gone away, the crying spells and anxiety have almost disappeared. It is still early and I'm still having some side effects - headaches and issues with insomnia one minute and sleeping too much the next, but I'm hoping some of those issues will subside once I've been on the medication a while.
I was actually tempted to to try tianeptine if the Prozac didn't work. I've read a lot of good things about it on the board, but I've also read that some people require a high dose and it is pretty expensive. It is all trial and error and it is really difficult to find the right medication for a lot of people.
