Fluoxetine "I have had social anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. You name it, I have had it. Since taking Prozac two months ago, my mood has improved, my thoughts are clearer, I am more motivated about life, like it actually means something. I have no more racing negative thoughts, I am positive, confident, and enjoying life again! Mild side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, wanting to sleep more, and mild sexual dysfunction."

"I have severe Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). I am 38 nearly. I have been taking fluoxetine for about 3 months. Just gone from 20 mg to 30 mg. I am calmer, see things better, but going through the seesaw effect, so one day looks better than the day after. I have used a mirror for the first time in 15 years (I don't look at myself head-on, just slightly 1 cm close on one side of my face) - my flaws are somewhat nonexistent at times and even normal. The meds have made a huge impact that I didn't expect, but I've years of work ahead of me to get 23 years of negativity somewhat normalized. If you suffer from BDD, I understand your views, frustration, and confusion that comes with it. Try meds and counseling to even get 30% better...try to ignore the negative head and don't dwell too much. Long road ahead, but fluoxetine does help and is worth taking."
