| 2 | Anxiety | Can I say nausea? Way too much nausea to function. | F | 16 | 3 weeks 20 mg | 5/9/2014 | 3 | Depression, anxiety | Has helped quite a bit with both depression and anxiety. What is bad is that I fall asleep very easily and could sleep all day and night. Have to really push myself to do anything. I'm going to call the doctor about the sleepiness | F | 60 | 13 days 20 mg 1X day | 4/5/2014 | 4 | major depression | none | Changed from Cymbalta because of cost/change in insurance plan. No difference in effect. | F | 58 | 1 months 2o mg 1X day | 3/18/2014 | 4 | depression | Whole body weakness. Mood swings taking branded prozac as generic doesn't work for me | F | 48 | 2 months 40 mg | 2/16/2014 | 1 | Long term depression | Extremely tired, loss of appetite causing weight loss of 8 pounds. Felt extremely nauseous from week 2 to 3. Helped a small amount but still felt depressed. Couldn't cry. Scary vivid nightmares. | F | 24 | 4 months 20 mg | 2/4/2014 | 4 | anxiety/irritability/depression/PMD | greasy, thinning hair; occasional headache; loss in appetite, maybe diarrhea? (That could be dietary!) | Feel a little subdued, but thankfully my irritability totally subsided. The night I started this drug, a family member was killed in a car accident, and thankfully I haven't drowned in sorrow despite obvious sadness, the loss hasn't affected my job performance or ability to interact with others. I think it has probably helped me with coping. | F | 31 | 14 days 40 mg 1X day | 1/27/2014 | 5 | depression | none | Great Drug | F | 66 | 20 years 100 1X day | 1/25/2014 | 5 | Depression, Bipolar 2 | None | 14 years, I have tried almost all the other SSRI,seroxat, dumyrox,lexapro, celexa, paxil, efexor, zoloft with bad side effects. This works for me fine. I take it in the morning, Gives me energy. At night I also take 0,5 mg of klonopin amd 75 mg of lyrica. This combination finally has helped me a lot. | M | 50 | 3 months 20 mg 1X day | 1/22/2014 | 4 | severe depression | Insomnia first week or so which is settling down now. Improved concentration. Happy positive frame of mind. | F | 48 | 2 weeks 40mg | 1/21/2014 | 3 | Depression | Increased fatigue, increased appetite, headaches, not much help with the depression | F | 16 | 2 months 60mg | 1/21/2014 | 5 | depression and anxiety | Insomnia and anxiety | M | 51 | 1 years 60 | 1/15/2014 | 3 | Anxiety OCD | Weight gain/binge eating, headache, disturbed sleep. Helped with depression only briefly. Anxiety is currently worse. | F | 38 | 1 months 20 | 12/23/2013 | 1 | anxiety deppression | Nausea very bad upset stomach, diarrhea insomia and lightheaded. | F | 31 | 8 days 20 mg | 12/19/2013 | 3 | depression | Drowsy, weight gain, increased appetite, some anxiety, loopy feeling | F | 29 | 1 months 40 mg | 12/11/2013 | 4 | OCD/Anxiety/Depression/Anorexia | Lack of libido | Useful. Not a cue but I do much worse when off of it. | F | 10 years 80mg 1X day | 12/10/2013 | 4 | Anxiety/depression | Causing dry heaves in the morning and sometimes throughout the day. Occasional slight heart burn and stomach upset. | Initial side effects seem to fade after the first week or so. Experiencing dry heaves in the morning. Having some stomach upset and acid problems-not sure if it's the Prozac or not. This medication works but takes time to get in your system. Going to stick with it and hopefully the dry heaves lighten up. | M | 50 | 14 days 20 1X day | 12/9/2013 | 1 | Major Depressive Disorder | Just felt way more depressed, weight gain in a short time. | I went onto this when zoloft and lexapro had severe side effects. I felt better the first couple of days in terms of mood but after that I felt way more depressed than when I started and went into a rapid decline. I experimented with not taking it some days towards the very end and felt way better even one day off it. I guess that it is just not for everyone and I am one of those ones. The only success btw I have had with antidepressants is celexa, 20mg per day. I am having a break from all meds for a while after the latest series of disasters! | F | 46 | 1 months 20mg 1X day | 12/7/2013 | 1 | Depression and anxiety | Not able to orgasm at all!!! irritability, extreme impatience, severe mood swings, diarrhea, fatigue, | F | 33 | 1 months 20 mg | 11/15/2013 | 1 | Severe Depression,Panic Attacks, | Intense anxiety, diarrhea, lack of focus. | This is a big no no for me | F | 19 | 5 months 40 mg 1X day | 10/13/2013 | 5 | OCD/Depression | Dry mouth. This medicine practically cured my OCD. I am so thankful for it. It took a while to work, but when it did, it really worked! | F | 41 | 10 years 60mg 1X day | 9/30/2013 |
