"i have been battling severe depression for most of my life, and at 30 years old i finally decided to seek help. i was prescribed 10 mg at first and it has been gradually increased at different increments over the last year and a half. i am currently taking 60 mg prozac daily. taking prozac has definitely helped my moods, but no pill is a fix-all.  i recommend counseling also. i have had some issues with weight gain and loss of libido. i&#039;ve noticed that once i have been on a stable dosage for a while, the libido does come back."
