"i have been on prozac for about 12 years. i&#039;m a small person (about 5 ft tall, 115 pounds). i take 10 mg every other day. my doctors say this dosage is a placebo, but i highly disagree. i use to suffer from mild, sometimes not so mild depression. never have had it while i have been on prozac. it just cuts off strong emotions. no rage, no crying, and sometimes no feelings! this is the only problem, i am basically numb on emotions. i only cry when things really hit me hard. it has to be hard! i must say, i love alcohol on prozac, it only takes one drink to lighten me up. this drug has been a life saver!"
