"prozac was the first antidepressant i was ever put on and it never really helped me. i couldn&#039;t eat normally for several weeks, kept throwing up and while waiting for the side effects to go away my doctor gave me a higher dose and my anxiety seemed to get even worse. about a month in, my suicidal thoughts got worse and i just got reckless with my life because i felt like nothing mattered. after an intervention with my friends i decided to just stop taking it cold turkey, and i really didn&#039;t experience that bad of withdrawal effects, i was just glad i wasn&#039;t taking it anymore. i would say it made me the most suicidal i&#039;d been in a long time and while it may work wonders for some people it just did not work with me."
