"i started taking prozac two years ago, and i thought it wasn&#039;t doing anything for me. so i cut cold turkey (which i do not advise because you could become very suicidal) and i did not take it for 6 months. just about a week ago i started taking it again, and i have to say i feel so much better. i realized prozac was working for me because i wasn&#039;t having intense feelings anymore when small things upset me. i was able to cope with them more. and now when i look back on when i was taking it years prior to my cut off. i remembered i did better than when i wasn&#039;t taking. i&#039;m really pleased on this medication and i&#039;m glad i take it. yes i still get upset but i do not go from being a 1 to a 10. remember its not a magic pill. it is only to help."
