"been taking fluoxetine for about 6 months. it has been wonderful, i simply do not worry about things that used to bother me all the time. the only down sides i am experiencing are that i&#039;ve lost a lot of weight, and that i don&#039;t feel emotions nowhere near as strongly as before, for example, my mother passed away, and while it was a very sad time, it just didn&#039;t upset me as it should have done.  i would strongly recommend this medicine, though."
