Heyy![]()
I have been on prozac for 4 years, its not that bad and it really does help improve the depression alot. I take a liquid form its horrible unless you put it in a drink like juice or something but i think tablets can be better
i don't really get any side effects anymore but i did get headaches and felt a bit worse for a few days but after it kicks in it really does help alot like i said.
Hope this helps and i hope you dont have to take much of it ( I take quite a bit cos i was starting to get more depressed this year
) xxx Hope you feel better!![]()
Hi. I started on prozac earlier this year. Was in April i think. I got really bad headaches for the first few weeks. But apart from that it was fine. I think though, it varies for everyone. I mean give it a go, it's worth trying. Really hope you start to feel better.

hey,
i've been on prozac, it didn't help my moods, just helped me sleep better.
They say prozac takes a few weeks ( like 4 weeks or so) to kick in, like glamorousrock said, it is worth a try.
Even though it didn't work with me, it might just work with you.
oh & there are a few side affects that u have to be careful about, it can make you more suicidal & feel like hurting yourself, but it goes away.
good luck whatever you decide, don't let anyone force you, it's ultimately up to you.

Hey
I was finaily put on anti depresents about 13 months or so when i was section. I was seen as i would get over my depresion but 3 years later they finally put me on anti dresents it was proza they put me on as thot it would help with my ocd and eating.
The first ouple of weeks was cold but sweating made my thoughts,harming and other things really high. my mood was up and down alot like usaul,your doctor or whoever will be able to keep an eye on things and if there helping. I am currently high dose dosnt seem to be helping scared to get my dose up again tell my doctor way im feelin.
Sorry tlk about myself. Not everyone will have same effets as others have but you will possibly feel more sueidial or wanting to harm yourself for first couple week that should be them getting use to it and working.
hope it help im not tht gd at sharing. all the best hope tht they will work for you make things easier for you they never take it away hopefully theyll help. you must keep on taking them to take effcet if you miss a dose take it as soon as you rember but dont take more then you hav to in the same day.
Hope everything works out for you hun
take care here if needed.xx
