| 5 | fibromyalgia | Libido became NONEXISTENT, increased snoring (says hubby), increased yawning (lethargy) | Although the side effects are bothersome, Prozac has changed my life for the better. I used to ache all of the time, I was very easily angered (short tempered), I felt stressed out 24/7, and I cried at the drop of a hat. I feel like I am | F | 34 | 2.5 years | 1/25/2005 | 5 | fibromyalgia | Libido became NONEXISTENT, increased snoring (says hubby), increased yawning (lethargy) | Although the side effects are bothersome, Prozac has changed my life for the better. I used to ache all of the time, I was very easily angered (short tempered), I felt stressed out 24/7, and I cried at the drop of a hat. I feel like I am | F | 34 | 2.5 years | 1/25/2005 | 4 | depression | no sex drive, no orgasm | lost 30lbs!! | F | 28 | 4 days | 1/20/2005 | 4 | depression, extreme fatigue, pain | Not too bad at all, but have felt more distanced from life. Has decreased sensitivity generally. This is a good thing, except for the decline in sexual sensation! It feels like Prozac is a partial solution, as I still feel minor aches and pains as if they are major, and still feel excessively tired. Main effect was to lift mood slightly, though it has helped with pain. | Definitely a life-saver, but not a long-term solution. I've taken it on and off for 5+ years now. | F | 46 | | 1/16/2005 | 3 | depression | insomniac, drymouth, my whole body was itchy, insomnia, tiredness | switched from lexapro to prozac after I had been on 30 miligrams of lexapro, and it just stopped working. The prozac had been working pretty good, but the itchyness is mind boggling and annoying | F | 15 | 1 days | 1/16/2005 | 5 | jj,j, | jj | j,j, | M | | 1/13/2005 | 5 | depression | delayed ejaculation | M | 31 | 2 years | 1/8/2005 | 5 | depression | sometimes nearly total loss of libido | Initially to treat severe, clinical depression, then to prevent the return of same. I have always taken it with Klonopin as there is an anxiety component to my depression and I occasionally experience an acute, profound sense of absence. The combination of the two drugs have been life saving and the side effects (sometimes nearly total loss of libido primarily) have been tolerable. I have been using this therapy for 6.5 years and expect to do so for the foreseeable future. | M | 47 | 6.5 years | 1/7/2005 | 3 | depression. PMS | muscle tension to the point of pain. dry mouth. grinding teeth at night, lower libido. | Really helped with the depression, but the muscle pain was too much to handle so I went off after 2 months | F | 33 | 2 months | 1/7/2005 | 4 | Depression | Non-existant sex-drive, tired and lethargic a majority of time, weight gain but IT HAS SAVED MY LIFE. I have tried other RX's but they are worse than Prozac. | F | 42 | 14 years | 1/4/2005 | 1 | Slight depression, recreation | TOTAL LOSS OF SEX DRIVE AND ABILITY TO ACHIEVE ORGASM . (not temporary effect mind you) ... somewhat permanent . I was the horniest person ever before prozac and 3 mths into prozac , my sex drive felt like it had been terminated . I could not get it up ... did'nt even feel like having sex , masturbating , looking at porn or even girls . Anything having remotely related to sex looked and felt DISGUSTING . Prozac does that to you . It does cure depression however, I was mildly depressed and trying to self-med and treat and balance my serotonin levels, however, it totally fucked with me and I put on weight (2 years after prozac the weight is still here) ... (I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD EXCESS FLAB) ... I was the kind of person that could eat whatever the hell I wanted ... and still be able to maintain a really lean figure . PROZAC TOTALLY FUCKED UP MY METABOLISM . I became lazy, sloppy, no desire to improve self image, stopped working out, stopped phoning chicks, my house was messy ... I was sleeping all day . That kinda shit . FUCK PROZAC . Another word : These effects , ... are NOT temporary . (Even though my psychiatrist said they were) ... well , after 2 years stopping prozac , my sex drive was still non existant , please tell me how that is considered temporary . | Yes , prozac sucked , the sex drive part . If you are on prozac or were on prozac and had your sex drive totally torn apart ... I'd recommend that you take WELLBUTRIN TO REVERSE THESE EFFECTS . Stop prozac and get on WELLBUTRIN . It is also another antidepressant . I took prozac for 3 months . In 3 months, prozac destroyed my sex drive (I was the horniest freakiest sex maniac you could ever imagine, prozac made me a priest basically) . And for 2 years, I did not take any prozac and waited and waited for my sex drive to return, but it did not . Until I took wellbutrin . 1.5 months into wellbutrin, I would say my sex drive feels like it is returning to normalcy . Thank you wellbutrin . Fuck you prozac . If anyone wishes to contact me on these forums , my 'fakename' is ... Legolas . I will correspond with you here . | M | 24 | 3 months | 12/30/2004 | 5 | 1.Sleepiness (which is good for me because I never feel tired). 2.A wierd temperal high the first ever time its taken. The experience is not repeated thereafter in future doses. | Its a great Med! Some people are obviously in major dissagreement with me, but if it wasn't for this fine med the only other option is to get doped-up on the older anti-deppresant brands that get prescribed and its not good to feel druged up! Its importain to solve the problem and feel as normal as possible, and thats just what this med does. No withrawl either just recovery from whatever sent you wrong. | M | 25 | 4 months | 12/29/2004 | 5 | migraine | loss of appetite; dizziness (1st two months only); trouble sleeping (but not to the point of it interfering with daily activities) | I haven't had a migraine since the second week I was on Prozac, after having them almost daily for 15+ years. I also have stopped craving sugar constantly. | F | 36 | 4 months | 12/23/2004 | 3 | anxiety | sleepy. dizzy | F | 25 | 2 months | 12/23/2004 | 4 | panic atacks and nervousness | headache dizziness fatigue | It definitely works. I can tell when I haven't had it | M | 23 | 4 years | 12/22/2004 | 5 | fear | M | 40 | 3 months | 12/20/2004 | 3 | Depression | tierdness, headaches, some sucidal thoughts, lack of concentration | it's ok, but im now on valium as well | F | 17 | 7 days | 12/16/2004 | 3 | depression | extreme mania for the first 3 weeks as well as an out of body feeling - like I was following myself around from behind. This wore off and I then was increased in dosage as well. I have been on and off Prozac for 9 years now - it works the best for me as compared to others I have tried. | F | 53 | 9 years | 12/9/2004 | 2 | PMS/Depression | Teeth clenching leading to tension headaches, leg and foot tics, difficulty reaching orgasm. | For a few years I took 10 mg. for one week a month for PMS and it helped with moodiness and somewhat with insomnia. Then I went to 20 mg. every day and within two weeks my legs were twitching all the time. So I stopped taking it every day and went back to taking it less frequently for PMS only, but now I get the leg twitches at the lower and less frequent dose. Also found that the teeth clenching was worse and that I was getting regular headaches from it so I stopped taking it altogether. | F | 45 | 4 years | 12/9/2004 | 5 | migraines | reduced appetite & weight loss, trouble sleeping | My daily migraines went away after a week on Prozac, and I haven't had one since. | F | 36 | 3.5 months | 12/8/2004 |
