Been on it a month and I'm not near as depressed as I use to be. Still get depressed though just not as bad.

I have been on this a few times over the years. Seems to be one of the few ones to work. I always hit a wall with meds. This one lasts longer then the others. Not sure of side effects, maybe lack of sex desire?

Finally, something positive. It has helped keep me on an even keel. It's been 3 years now.

Was on this for years, but my body became too used to it, so I changed to something else. I plan to go back on it soon.

I have a chemical imbalance which causes depression. I should have been on the medication for the last 15 years but due to financial situations I have always defered to my husbands medication instead of my own. As Prozac has now gotten much more affordable and he is leaving I now dedicate to myself the medications that I need.
