I've been on prozac for a decade or two and it worked very well... I put up with the sexual dysfunction but the nightmares got the better of me when I couldn't tell real from dreams. I dove into work and just made myself forget about love. Bt the dreams...so they switched to zoloft which was not much better than prozac. Then switched to welbutrin. It worked good enough, and I was glad to ... Show Full Comment

I've been on prozac for a decade or two and it worked very well... I put up with the sexual dysfunction but the nightmares got the better of me when I couldn't tell real from dreams. I dove into work and just made myself forget about love. Bt the dreams...so they switched to zoloft which was not much better than prozac. Then switched to welbutrin. It worked good enough, and I was glad to not have those horrible dreams and to get my libido back... but... I could not sleep with this. I'm running on 4-5 hours sleep a night. Curiously enough my dentist told me it was like an amphetamine! But after being on this one year... it is not working anymore. I'm crying alot, getting very irritable, yelling at people, angry, hopeless, unlovable... Its just plain not working for me at all. I dont know if it is the lack of sleep or what. but I cant do this anymore. I dont know what to do now. Called doc and I guess I have to go through the 6-week weaning off period to try yet another drug. How am I supposed to work and be normal when I am not? I just want to feel normal without bad side effects. I wonder why that is just not possible for me to attain normalcy? See? depression. everything is hopeless for me.

I've been taking this drug for about 6 weeks now and I've noticed a change in my mood and I have more energy. For the first month the drug worked great, but shortly after I stated experiencing horrible sexual side effects.

For the first month the drug worked great, but shortly after I stated experiencing horrible sexual side effects. The medication decreases sensation,vaginal lubrication, and makes it almost impossible to orgasm. My dr assured me that this wouldn't happen, but unfortunately my body responded differently than most of the population. Needless to say I've stopped taking the medication, which is sad because a lost so much weight while on it.

This medicine caused me to fall and not be able to get up. Also, I was having hallucinations. I will not take this medicine again.

I started this medicine a couple of days ago. At first it gave me energy and I wasn’t depressed any more. My negative thoughts about myself were lessened. Soon after though I started feeling energetic and unable to sleep. My chest, throat and esophagus felt tight, like I couldn’t breath when laying in bed. Then I got a severe headache, joint pain, fever nausea, and sore throat. I felt so awful. I ... Show Full Comment
