obsessive compulsive disorde
"I started taking Prozac in 1993.  I actually was suicidal and depressed in 1972, but the kind of treatment prescribed was to see a shrink, which I didn't talk to.  I tried to kill myself (unsuccessfully) many times.  I just didn't want to live anymore, a very terribly sad feeling of not belonging, even in family gatherings.  In 1993 I started 20 mg of Prozac, first week was great...I was very energetic and I didn't feel like eating, but after that it evened out and I felt better.  I then went up to 40 mg. Two years ago I started pulling my hair out. Went up to 80 mg, but was too much and my doc kept me on 60 mg.  I still can't stop pulling my hair out. Does Prozac cause this OCD?  I thought it was supposed to help it."
