"prozac has changed my life.  i had postpartum depression after having a baby &amp; went for months thinking i could fix everything on my own but nothing alleviated the unrealistic hopelessness.  my midwife said that one antidepressant doesn&#039;t work for everyone, it is like putting your hand in a mixed candy jar and pulling one out, the effects are that unpredictable.  prozac has been amazing for me.  it has taken the ocd, hopelessness edge off so now i feel like i have a choice about how i feel. side effects included feeling nauseous and having diarrhea on the first day, my husband says i sometimes tremor at night, it doesn&#039;t work as well when i am on my period, and i often feel really low after having sex.  overall, prozac has saved my sanity."
