| 3 | depression | ok | ok | F | 16 | 9 days | 12/8/2004 | 3 | Suicide attempt, depression | TOTAL & ABSOLUTELY ZERO LIBIDO, GENERAL APATHY, I FEEL EMOTIONALLY | IT HELPS DEPRESSION BUT IT HAS A LONGGGGGGGGG LIST OF BAD SIDE EFFECTS. | M | 39 | 10 years | 12/7/2004 | 2 | Severe Depression | Fatigue, somnolence, crying jags | Meh. This drug didn't do much for me. Its side effects were mild, but it didn't significantly alleviate my depression. It made me tired and emotionally sensitive. I would recommend Effexor instead. | F | 24 | 1 years | 11/29/2004 | 4 | Severe Depression | I take 60 mg of Prozac every morning to keep me on the ground. After missing a single dose, there were very few side effects. After missing two doses, I began to experience anxiety attacks, severe depression, and thoughts of suicide. | Prozac helped me very much. I have gone from completely mentally unstable to a normal, healthy mental state. 10 mg did absolutely nothing. 20 mg had no effect whatsoever. 40 mg had some effect. 60 mg did the trick. It was the perfect amount for me. I am a very small framed guy (115), but I apparently needed a very high dosage. | M | 17 | 4 months | 11/27/2004 | 2 | OCD, bad Anxiety, minor depression | dry mouth, slighty shakey, eyes sensative to light which caused headaches | I am still in early days, been taking 10mg for a week and upted the dose to 20mg now for 3 days i love reading these storys because some make me more aware and some give me hope which i need because most things about SSRIS on the internet are very negative so thank you for your opinons | M | 19 | 2 weeks | 11/22/2004 | 2 | anxiety and depression | NO sexual desire!! Just like it disappeared totally! I am not like this normally. My anxiety has decreased but is coming back as I feel like this is affecting my relationship with my hubby. | Will ask doctor to prescribe something different and next appt. that will not affect libido. | F | 34 | 45 days | 11/21/2004 | 5 | Depression | At first, fatigue and loss of appetite. Some headaches. | I am very pleased with the results from Prozac. I went off of it for awhile and found I was back to lots of mood swings and crying. This medication evens me out. | F | 29 | 2 years | 11/16/2004 | 4 | panic attacks, phobias, ocd | ??? | F | 26 | | 11/16/2004 | 1 | OCD | Major vision problems. Short and long term memory loss. Difficulty speaking and thinking. | I would not recommend that anyone ever start taking this medication. I am still having problems after 5 weeks of being off of it. Was just fine before starting the medication. | M | 27 | 4 months | 11/10/2004 | 3 | pms, pre menstrual bulimia | Initially, insomnia and nervousness on only 5 mg day. Got jittery if I had a single cup of coffee. Very sleepy during the day. Have vivid dreams and have great difficulty waking up in the mornings (used to be an early riser).About 4 weeks into treatment I started to reduce my dose and had a violent/ siucidal reaction one day which I didn't connect with the Prozac at the time. It was out of character for me and now that i have read about this kind of side effect i understand what happened to me. Other side effects - lack of appetite, weight loss, mild headaches, broken capillaries in my skin, oily skin,often shaking my foot or twiddling fingers, general lack of interest in achieving things. | For the first 3 months Prozac really helped my PMS , but now after 6 months the effects seem to be wearing off even though i have upped the dose to 20 mg day. I am worried about continuing on this higher dose for a long period. | F | 40 | 6 months | 11/5/2004 | 1 | ocd anxiety | painful ejaculation,headache,sweet,no concentration | prozac was horrible it made my ocd like double as a result i got depressed and i couldnt think | M | 26 | 5 weeks | 10/31/2004 | 5 | Seasonal Affective Disorder | Nothing serious. All passed within a couple of weeks | It was nice to feel normal again. Takes a while for you to feel the full effect - eg up to 8 weeks, but this tablet has really been a god send to my life. I use to suffer serious bouts of depression every winter but with this tablet and a light box I can live a normal life. | M | 29 | 2 years | 10/29/2004 | 2 | depression | fatigue, increased depression | 3 months | 10/28/2004 | 5 | DEPRESSION | PROBLEMS SLEEPING | M | 52 | 1 times | 10/23/2004 | 1 | anxiety | panic attacks, increase suicidal thoughts, large increase in anxiety, insomnia got worse, | It made me want to kill people and myself, Couldn't sleep at all, Extreme agitation, Paranoid thoughts | 3 weeks | 10/23/2004 | 4 | depression; seasonal affective diso | tired, weight gain | works well. gained alot of weight over the year. | F | 36 | 1 years | 10/14/2004 | 5 | | 10/13/2004 | 1 | anxiety, pms, ocd, ptsd | MAJOR mood swings out of the norm for me, suicidal thoughts daily, mood | Made me feel like hell on wheels.
