"i was prescribed prozac for depression about 3 months ago. i began feeling normal- happy, even- about a month and a half ago. before, i was suicidal and rarely left my bed. i was unable to do anything; maintaining basic hygiene became difficult. starting out on prozac, i was skeptical, simply because i didn&#039;t believe that anyone or anything could help me. however, i&#039;m so glad that i waited the suggested 6 weeks! i feel great now, and don&#039;t overthink things or pressure myself unnecessarily. the only negative side effect is insomnia; i&#039;ll fall asleep fine, but wake up around 3 am. all in all, i reccommend it."
