"i never had any problems with depression until i got hurt at work in 2009. since then i&#039;ve lost 5 homes, 2 cars and have been completely stressed and severely depressed. most days i didn&#039;t even get out of bed. i became very anti-social. i was prescribed prozac and am only on day 5 and i can already feel a difference. i&#039;m up and out of bed. i have more energy then i&#039;ve had in months and i don&#039;t feel like everything is hopeless anymore. i&#039;m still having issues with irritability and severe mood swings, but hopefully my doctor can treat that with something else. overall i couldn&#039;t be happier with this medication. so far so good, not even any side effects to speak of. it&#039;s great.
