Positive experiences
“20mg or Prozac and 50 mg twice a day for my depression, anxiety, and mood swings. It works.”
“I truly felt mine truly kicking in 4-6 months down the line.”
“I was given a rx for 20mg per day, concentration seems much better and i'm less angry.”
“SSRIs were very effective at improving my executive function at first, but now they barely work, and Prozac is the only one that really works for me.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Prozac at 21 stole most of my libido. Found myself getting into riskier situations to feel the rush of desire I used to have much more organically.”
“SSRI (Prozac) was amazing for me while I was a teen. No longer need it but I went from wanting to kill myself every second of the day to feeling tolerable.”
“Prozac made me teen times worse. I was so much better off taking Wellbutrin all alone.”
“I'm on the third day and it's been very effective. positive for those who have a slight depression or anxiety, want a slight boost, it's great.”
“Fluoxetine helped tremendously for acute symptoms, but left me a bit apathic afterwards.”
“After I was diagnosed with ocd I was put on Prozac for years but the side effects are numerous and I got to the point where I preferred just dealing with the ocd than feeling like a zombie.”
