It's generic Prozac. I was on it for a long time as a side dish for Lamcital. Don't remember any side effects; it helped to calm me down. Nothing major at least for me.

If you go to webmd.com you should be able to find out all you need to know! :)

I took it in the morning, but like I said, it didn't seem to do a whole heck of a lot for me.

I'm just a little worried cos I have to come off 60mg of Cipramil in just 4 days and then start the prozac - its incase i am BP2 and apparently prozac is less of a trigger for hypomania??
deleted_user
yes, it is prozac.. I am on it... I find when I first went on it, I found I had mood swings... little things would set me off.. after aobut 2 weeks I would calm down

hey! did you ask about Cymbalta instead? Newer drug, works on two brain chemicals, not just one. Fewer side effects than Prozac. Kim

I was on prozac for some time, ruby, but it was along w/another med. It seemed to have no effect on me, one way or the other. But everyone responds differently to meds.... I've got my fingers crossed with this one, sweetie. Really hope it works out for ya!

ZAZAS
I've always taken mine when I first wake up.

I've taken it for years, came off of it about a year ago, and now have started taking it again. No horrible side effects yet. Do get a little tired, but I don't think that is from the Prozac. When I was able to work, it gave me energy.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
