"i took prozac for several years to treat my depression and it was awesome. it had few side effects but gave me my life back. i went from not leaving my bed to actually being a productive member of society again. i did lose a good deal of weight while i was on it but that eventually balanced out.  i took it until it got to the point where it stopped working for me and i&#039;ve never found anything that has worked as well.  hopefully i will be able to take it and have it work for me again one day."
