"i have been taking prozac for about four years.  my worst symptoms were: very disturbing, vivid dreams that affected my sleep; having feelings of uncontrollable anger; feeling hopeless and powerless, and wanting to give up at the slightest difficulty.  being on prozac has been wonderful for me.  the nightmares have pretty much gone away, i am much more calm and patient, and i can deal with the unexpected problems in life much better.  i think prozac made it possible for me to finish grad school and has helped my career.  i don&#039;t feel addicted to it - in fact, i frequently forget to take it for several days or even a week or more, but when i notice the nightmares or anxiety coming back, i know it&#039;s time for me to take it again."
