I didn't see your previous post on prozac.
I was on prozac for about 8 years. My doc said he had some patients on other ssris, but that he had hundreds on prozac. Asked him why. He said because it works. For me it worked pretty good. Still had the ssri apathy thing, but not as bad as paxil or zoloft were. I like the warm stimulant feeling for a few hours after dosing.
Someone already mentioned it but I feel it is so important it deserved to be said again. Generic versus brand prozac, huge difference. Granted, some people can't tell a difference. Many can. I deteriorated when switched to generic. I didn't know I had been switched. It didn't feel anything like the real stuff.
For anyone giving prozac a shot, they have not done so until they've tried real brand prozac.
I took 20mg the whole time.
