In reply to Effect of PROZAC, posted by ArthurGibson on January 13, 2003, at 6:16:40
Dear Arthur,Great, you are being helped tremendously by prozac. But I am on it for a couple of years and it only adds insult to my injuries. It was helpful for the first couple of months and those good effects vanished for good and why I still want to take it is, I can't get it off. Not depression that comes back when I try to quit but some new symptoms like hollow-feeling and a sense of nothingness in my mind. This is exactly not the symptoms of depression, because I have become much familiar with the symptoms of depression. I have suffered more than five episodes of major depression in my life, and still experiencing mild to moderate depression even on being on prozac 40 mg daily. I had to surrender my sexual desire and activeness to prozac in order to keep a sense of well being, but now I am paying those prizes in exchange of nothing. True, valium will fogg human minds in large doses, but prozac freezes human brain. (This is my experience). There was a time in my life when I was on klonopin monotherapy and sun appeared brighter than ever at that time. The betterment klonopin monotherapy brought in my life have still no comparisons. But my life is never the same after my doc disturbed that pattern and put me on prozac.
Anyway each and every patient is different, and if you are doing well with a drug that almost ruined my life, I wish you all the best with the same drug.
