"i wanted to share my experience - the first week or so of this generic prozac was a living hell. i didn&#039;t feel like myself at all - physically and mentally. this is where a lot of people give up on this medication - don&#039;t. about a month went by and i am so grateful, i 100% know that this medication saved my life. i am writing a review because i am now broke and couldn&#039;t take my medicine today... one day off this medicine made me immediately feel like my old, depressed and suicidal self again. i am addicted to fluoxetine, but i&#039;m okay with that. it&#039;s been months since i started - almost a year. this may not be the best thing for my body, i haven&#039;t done much research... but i don&#039;t know what i would do, mentally, without it."
