Has anyone been on prozac? How does it make you feel? How fast do you see your mood improve??

Anti-depressants take a week or two to start to work. Yes it helps, but only if you're clinically depressed and not just feeling down. How did you stop the prozac - all at once or did you wean off? It can be dangerous to stop all at once and can cause a rebounding effect on the depression.

You shouldnt stop taking those kinds of meds without the DR approving. listen, part of life is being down. if the down state presist then u need meds. try to look to the bright side of life. i am speaking from exp. i took zoloft for over a year & it helped me. i have been off of it for a year & i have down times but i have figured out how to cope with them in my own way. u can create ur own happiness if u try hard enough. really look at ur life & ask yourself just how bad do u have it..you may see that u r walking on sunshine!

Prozac for me made me increasingly depressed and very suicidal to where hardly no one could reason with me. My Docs took me off of them and I was fine after 1 week so it did not help me
