"6 months ago, i was hospitalized. i had never been treated for my depression due to insurance and financial issues. during my 9 day stay at the hospital, they started me on 20mg of prozac. by the time i left the hospital, i was at 40mg. the suicidal thoughts went away and i was able to feel moments of clarity. although, i made some big life changes after being released from the hospital, the depression was still there. sleep and isolation was still my life. now that i have been on prozac for 6 months, i look back and realize how far i have come. i am now taking 80 mg a day and i can finally break through the fog. for me, depression wasn&#039;t necessarily sadness, but an absence in vitality. prozac has helped me regain it."
