I'm 40, had serious depression, ocd and high anxiety with panic attacks since 14. After taking Prozac for a week I've never looked back! All those symptoms are gone and life is great again. I don't worry constantly, stay in bed under the covers and cry because of depression and I don't obcess or things, like mistakes I've made, or that my kids are grown or tramatic events in my life. I've lost 30 pounds, have lots of energy and am happy 99% of the time. I am alive once again instead of struggling to get through everyday, not leaving my house because I was afraid of people, and the only real relief I got was sleeping, when I didn't have terribly traumatic night terrors. I can't tell you how prozac, the generic, has saved my life. Suicidal thoughts are gone too. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank God for my Doctor! I was so afraid of trying Prozac, but I'm so glad I did. I plan on being on it for the rest of my life. I take 20mg daily and I've been on it almost 5 months. Published: March 28, 2008 ::

Prozac has given me back my life. The doctor tried other medications and none of them were right for me. However, Generic Prozac was terrible. When I went on that it was as if I went cold turkey off regular prozac and started taking sugar pills. I went into a severe depression on the generic and it took many months to get my life back on track. Name Brand Prozac is wonderful -- Generic Prozac should be taken of the market.

This medication is great for people who worry excessively. It softens the blows in life. I am thankful that this medicine is available to treat depression and anxiety. I have taken 40 mg per day for years. I remember what my life was like before this drug was prescribed to me. I am much better now. If you are relucant to try this drug, please know that it has helped many people. I hope you are one of them. Published: February 01, 2008 ::

After taking Prozac for many years at 60 Mgs daily, my wife was diagnosed with stage IV Lymphoma Feb. 14, 2007. Our life has been a living hell since then. Many Chemo. tratments, hospital stays, a stem cell transplant and nothing has helped. I did some research on the medications my wife was taking prior to the cancer. I went to Eli Lilly's web site and researched the side effects of Prozac. One of the side effects of a high dose is the inflamation of the lympnodes which can lead to Lymphoma cancer. I lowered the dose my wife now takes to 40 MG a day. We can not stop the Prozac now because of this horrible cancer and the depression involved. We are a young retired couple living a life of hell, I feel because of Prozac. Thank you for reading this and remember the most important thing in life is your Health and the Health of the ones you love. Published: May 07, 2008 ::

I was diagnosed with clnical depression in 1991 at age 41. I am 57; therefore I have been taking Prozac for 16 years. Literally, I am alive today because of Prozac. (I was suicidal at times.) I have found it to be very effective in the treatment of depression. I have had to increase my dosage over the years from 10 mg to 60 mg. The generic Prozac does not work for me.

I used Prozac for 8 yrs for mild depression; very effective. Never manic or manic/depressive. In May 2007, took Mucinex DM for persistent cough. Began having double vision & manic symptoms. Later research revealed that DEXTROMETHORPHAN, a common ingredient in many over-the-counter cold products, can produce above side-effects in Prozac patients. Horrible experience. Don't find out the way I did. Always consider side-effects of other products. Published: February 08, 2008 ::

Honestly I believe that without Prozac I would be a hermit who never left my home. I now work and can travel without panicing that I am too far away from a hospital. Also I can fly on planes now and even went on a 4 hour plane ride. Published: February 20, 2008 ::

My friends would gladly pay for my prozac if I could not afford it! It is wonderful. I take two 20 mg caps per day because I found Rx was less expensive than one 40 mg cap. Have taken this drug for over 10 years, at first to reduce irritability, then thru change of life and most recently thru death of spouse (depression). I decided a long time ago that life is way too short to live unhappy. I pray that I never have to live without my Prozac (and so do my friends!! Published: December 30, 2007 ::
