I think it has a placebo effect, doctors say it takes at least 1 month of use to get noticeable results and I felt different after 2 days. Glad I quit taking it

everyone is different when they start an anti-depressant. one person will have side effests where another person wont. i took prozac for i month i lost a whole lot of weight but prozac is a heavy drug, you feel out of it all the time and cant stay awake, if you are active and want to be on this do not chance your routine and if you have side effects sleepiness, dry mouth, you should talk to your dr after a few week if it doesnt go waay

Prozac was a great help to me, too, for anxiety and then panic attacks. I did lose lots of weight (48 lbs in 4 months) when I was on it but that is a rare side effect.

It dulls your thinking so that you could do things you might not otherwise...makes one almost robotic and able to committ suicide without a blink of an eye and there's much on the internet about this! People need to learn to cope with their problems, get a good counselor and deal with them...dont mask them with pills!

its good for a minute then starts to wear off so you have to take bigger doses meanwhile your doc doesnt tell you that when you try to get off it you may commit suicide as a side effect. which is no joke look it up

its good for the first few months, and then the side effects kick in - night sweats, and then when you stop taking the side effects take months to go away

It gave me night terrors. I could not stay on it, but my dad takes it and he's fine. More relaxed, less snappy.
