| 1 | depression, mania | feeling of being flat, dull, no creativity, disjointed, no energy, increased depression | This was a terrible drug for me. It made things so much worse | F | 21 | 6 months | 4/5/2002 | 4 | Severe Depression | Dry mouth, tiredness, confusion, loss of memory, loss of concentration. | Side effects do go away eventually, but my dosage needs to be continually bumped up to get the same effects over a long period of time. | F | 23 | 2 months | 3/28/2002 | 3 | bi-polar problems | I eat a lot. | The problems don't go away, just the fear of facing them! | M | 58 | 8 years | 3/20/2002 | 5 | Depression | Insomia, had to switch from taking it at nights to morning because of this. | Excellent Medication that truly saved my life. I had tried a handful of other popular antidepressants unsucessfully. This was the one that turned every thing around and changed my deluded perceptions. I was going nowhere fast, suicidal and depressed. I had a low self esteem and was agoraphobic. After Prozac I managed to go back to school and maintain and A average and I have truly come to love and accept myself and the world around me. Prozac changes everything and is helping to me realize my dreams. | F | 20 | 1 years | 1/7/2002 | 3 | DEPRESSION/ANXIETY | WITHDRAWN FROM PEOPLE FEEL LIKE ZOMBIE, SOMEWHAT TIRED. FEEL LIKE NUMB AND DIFFICULTY COPING AT WORK LIKE NORMAL, LOWERED SEX DRIVE | SHAKY AND ZOMBIE LIKE DONT WANT TO COMMUNICATE OR CANT AND FEEL VERY WITHDRAWN SOCIALLY | F | 33 | 3 weeks | 12/4/2001 | 3 | DEPRESSION/ANXIETY | ZOMBIE, JUST DONT FEEL LIKE MYSELF VERY WITHDRAWN AND SOCIALLY INCAPABLE, CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT ME, DID STOP THE SEVERE ANXIETY STILL FEEL DEPRESSED AND NUMB | LOWER SEX DRIVE | F | 33 | 3 weeks | 12/4/2001 | 2 | depression | extreme tiredness, moody, agitation | Drug made me zombie-like.

Everyone taking this drug should be aware of it's serious side effects. Looking for expert review to solve this mystery | M | 33 | 1 months | 10/22/2001 | 1 | Since I've taken prozac, I no longer have a self, you know what I'm saying? | F | 13 | 4 years | 10/17/2001 | 5 | obsessive-compulsive disorder | very minor. sometimes a little jittery maybe... maybe more headaches than before, but i am not sure... maybe bruise more easily?... | helped me a LOT. Maybe because I expected it to (really wanted to get better, finally... first time I tried a drug and have heard from more than 1 person that it has helped them...) I wasn't able to look outside because of my OCD (saw all the scary things to check on)... then suddenly after starting the med it felt like the streets were cleaned of all the scary stuff... | F | 26 | 9 months | 10/9/2001 | 3 | Depression/ Eating Disorder | None really. When I increased the dose I noticed some nervousness, fidgiting all the time, etc. | I haven't noticed a huge improvement in my depression or eating disorder. I just started taking wellbrutin to augment the prozac, so we'll see how that goes. | F | 17 | 8 months | 10/5/2001 | 3 | depression | 1st few weeks: nausea 1st few weeks + on increased dosage: disturbed vision | Doesn't make you feel good, but it lets you carry on | F | 27 | 8 months | 10/4/2001 | 5 | major depression | initial loss of appetite | It worked for me. Thank goodness | M | 57 | 7 months | 9/9/2001 | 5 | Depression/SAD | delayed orgasm (if at all), mild depression after withdrawal | Prozac was a wonder drug for me! Combined with a year of therapy, it eliminated my depression and brought back my energy and passion for life. The side effects were minimal and I'd recommend it to anyone. | F | 20 | 11 months | 8/2/2001 | 2 | Major Depression | libido and urinary tract problems | Prozac caused a general "weakness" the longer I took it. I was also more angry than usual. | M | 49 | 3 months | 7/26/2001 | 3 | depression | liked it okay. Works pretty good The only side effects were severe night sweats and after taking for a prolonged period I felt I became immune. Also, no sex drive | F | 32 | 3 years | 5/28/2001 | 3 | depression | Mainly sexual disfunction and lowering of libido. | M | 38 | 2 years | 5/24/2001 | 4 | Anxiety | Teeth grinding at night.Unable to reach orgasm. | F | 30 | 12 months | 5/15/2001 | 4 | depression | Dry mouth, slight trouble getting to sleep | It has helped my depression. I'm not as moody as I was before beginning this drug. | F | 31 | 6 weeks | 5/9/2001 | 3 | Panic and anxiety | Difficulty to climax during sex; occasional gastrointestinal distress (heartburn); perhaps difficulty sleeping | Rather quickly, Prozac "cured" me of Panic Attacks. However, I still get very depressed at times and anxious. It has given me a "normal" life back, but I wish I felt better, in relation to depression and anxiety. In summary, it helps a lot, enough for you to normally function in society (no more daily multiple panic attacks!), but it doesn't "cure" you of anxiety and depression. NOTE: Increasing dosage after some years did NOT work. | M | 43 | 10 years | 4/16/2001 |
