"admittedly, when i started prozac and up until i stopped taking it, i was not very honest with my therapist on my emotional state, so i never changed medication despite it&#039;s lack of effect on me. i was taking it to help with my depression and anxiety, and it didn&#039;t help with either. it didn&#039;t have any negative effects on me, but it didn&#039;t have any positive effects either. i had started at 10 mg, went up to 20 mg, and finally 40 mg. for each one, it seemed to help at first but wouldn&#039;t after around two weeks. although it wasn&#039;t right for me, i know that it&#039;s been quite helpful to friends of mine and it wouldn&#039;t hurt to try it out yourself."
