"i&#039;m 56. i&#039;ve been on prozac for about 20 years. i would rather not take any medication but the reality is that, for me, there seems to be no choice. like many who have seen their share of shrinks, i tried everything - and then everything in every combination. prozac is the only drug that helps me.
i have been off of prozac now for about 3 months. i tapered off very slowly. thought i made it! but i have gone back to my old miserable self. i hit myself, hard. i want to break everything that doesn&#039;t &quot;cooperate&quot; immediately - a button, a hard-to-open package, or a pen for example. i never feel like hitting another person - just myself. i&#039;m going downstairs to begin my prozac regimen again."
