da wife has been taking a pill called ''prozac'' for a long time and she is becoming very slow in comprehending

Go to your GP and discuss what can be done

When was the last ime she had Blood work and she could be getting to much sounds like she is over medcated get her to a doctor or the ER now

how did you know.

get the doctor to change the f***en pill

Go to the internet a get a couple of medical articles on the pros & cons of prozac, preferably with alternatives listed. Tell her u love her, & r worried about her & u hope she will read them. Get ahold of her doc. & discuss this. Perhaps s/he is not aware of what is going on (but should be & willing to change her meds). If u do not get satisfaction & the doc. says there r no options, find another doc. Many docs. get percs for pushing one drug over another. If u r concerned, phone the medical association to see if that is appropriate treatment. Any doc. worth their salt should monitor u wife is meds, her mood, & give her regular blood tests for drug levels, liver effects, etc. There many alternatives. Do not stop until she finds one that works. Many illnesses also show as depression, including temporal lobe epilepsy. If she has been misdiagnosed, she may be getting entirely the wrong treatment.

I seriously think a study should be done where people who have depressive personalities should be fed a regular American diet that is loaded with preservatives & fat, vs a diet that is lean, balanced & healthy without all the chemical crap & see if that has any affect on depression.

I have 3 brothers that take anti depressants, two have tried to kill themselves. They all eat terrible diets. I have noticed if I let my diet go south the blues increase. I eat healthy & I am my happy, positive self.

It is really true what Tiny Tim said, ''You r what u eat''?

I'd say, we have let the drug & chemical companies take over & that is why Americans r over medicated.

As for ur wife, mental illness is not easy to deal with. It seems to me u have a choice, let her continue & be a happy slow learner, or let her be a depressed slow learner.

Then again, if she is not doing so, get her to eat healthy & see if that speeds up those brain cells.

Prozac is a highly addictive drug to stabilise depression you need to persuade her to come off it and get your doctor to refer her to a councillor if needs be.she will probably get better as soon as she gets off Prozac

Yay for over medicating.

Ether she stops taking it ( probably prescribed for depression ), or the drug will continue to affect her mentally.
