"after a year of stress and then going back into my addiction that had been dormant for 2 decades i tried 20mgs of prozac. the first 3 weeks we&#039;re completely miserable. anxiety, irrational thought, mood swings, constant bowel movements....but i was diter i rd to hang in there. amazingly i started to feel better. after 6 weeks i was a different person. i feel completely normal now. 



my wife was diagnosed with cancer and things went really bad in my life before prozac. i am now on a much better path. i take .5mgs of xanax at bedtime and wake up feeling great. it is like a miracle of sorts. 



mood side effects: a little bit of thinning hair, sex drive is down as i find it hard to climax and i&#039;m a little less empathetic."
