"i suffer bouts of depression and have been prescribed prozac. this medication does stop the weepiness and severe irritability that i suffer, however it made me feel &quot;nothing&quot; rather than good.  additionally, the side effects that i suffer on prozac are not worth the marginal lack of hopeless feelings. i felt nauseous, hollow, scattered and my libido completely vanished.  this led to marital stress, so i went off of it on my own.  i think it is the wrong chemical for my type of brain chemistry or depression."
