| 5 | depression/bulimia | none | have been suffering with bulimia for 37 years .Have totaly stopped binging and purging one week after prozac dose increased to 60 mg . | F | 47 | 6 months | 6/20/2003 | 5 | husband died | Headaches while beginning the drug and with dosage changes. Nausea in the beginning subsides. | It has helped me quite a bit. Am currently reducing the dosage and am trying to wean off it in the next couple of months. | F | 40 | 7 months | 6/19/2003 | 1 | Depression | Nausea & vomiting. | Could not stay on the drug long enough to find out whether or not it would have worked. I couldn't tolerate the side effects any longer. | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 5/24/2003 | 4 | Depression | Sudden and urgent nausea attacks with vomiting (when drinking moderately). Occasional feeling of apathy when anticipated benefits failed to live up to expectations. | Improvement in sleep pattern occurred almost immediately on starting treatment, as did a reduction in anxiety. I wonder how much this was due to the feeling of relief at having started some kind of attack on the depression. After 6 months I failed to see any ongoing improvement and decided to stop treatment. This was partly because by then I was motivated to change the root of the anxiety and felt the drug was making me too complacent to do so. I ramped the dose down from 3 capsules daily to 0 over a month and had no withdrawal effects. | M | 36 | 6 months | 5/15/2003 | 5 | Depression | None | F | 38 | 1 days | 5/1/2003 | 5 | depression - widow ; business etc. | UNFORTUNATELY AFTER TWO OR THREE YEARS STARTED HAVING FACIAL TICS.

Anyone who has experienced depression knows that dark, long and narrow tunnel that you can't escape from. Prozac has given me my life back and I can't say enough good things about it. I realize that not all prescriptions have the same reaction with everyone - this truly has worked for me. I still have trouble with the weight issue - my sexual drive has returned ... so has my life !!!! | F | 40 | 5 years | 12/28/2002 | 4 | depression | long term weight gain sexual dysfunction- inability to have an orgasm, no interest in sex increased hyperactivity/anxiety | F | 24 | 2 years | 12/26/2002 | 5 | Depression/anxiety | For the first two weeks perhaps a little drowsy and sex drive deminished, but this returned after some weeks. | I must have been sick for at least two years and didn't really realise it until the prozac started working. The best thing ever. I am so different, my life is different, totally focused and much much happier with my life. My husband has noticed huge change also. A fantastic drug!! It really worked for me. 20 mg a day for the last 4 months. | F | 32 | 4 months | 12/10/2002 | 5 | depression | headaches with daily, but stopped when taking weekly prozac | F | 44 | 2 years | 11/19/2002 | 3 | depression | so tired all the time. i couldn't ejaculate either and that is one of my favorite things to do! also i just didn't feel like myself. i can't exactly explain it, it just felt very phony. now i take celexa and that is much better. | make sure you take then with water, those suckers can burn your throat if you don't. | M | 24 | 6 months | 10/26/2002 | 5 | depression | none | M | 65 | 3 years | 10/22/2002 |
