" Oh boy...don't get me started on Prozac. It actually never really helped me at all. I never got a high off it...it just sort of zombified me...and then as time passed, I was more depressed and suicidal...only thing is..I could not cry. No matter how sad I was, I could not cry while taking prozac. That is a truly bizarre feeling. Not to mention the heart and blood pressure issues I had with it. I don't care for it at all. "
