The side effects were tough at first, but if I take it on a full stomach, I can handle it. Saved my life, honestly. 80 mg a day. I'm a college student so this helps me keep up with the hectic pace of the ten week quarter system as well as the tragedies that occur in life.

On it for just over a month. It did away with my suicidal thoughts and overall improved my mood but the side effects were too much for me. It caused me to be almost constantly drowsy and unable to focus as I had no energy and was often on the verge of falling asleep. I would constantly pass out midday for an hour or so at a time, and then would struggle to stay asleep at night. I would wake up in the middle of night and had more intense nightmares. These were all daily occurrences. I also experienced dizziness and lightheadedness every few days. Sometimes I'm not sure if Prozac actually helped my mood, or if it just made me too tired to feel anything. I felt fine emotionally but had no motivation to do anything but sleep the entire day.

I was on this medication for 30 days and the side affects were awful. It gave me severe tremors. So bad that I couldn't write, and it looked I had Parkinson's. I still have tremors to this day and that was 5 years ago when I took them.

Doctor is starting me on Lexapro. I'm really disappointed that it did not help me. The side effects were not terrible, the worse thing is that is upsets your stomach, but I did not have the "fogginess" and brain zaps that I experienced with Zoloft.
