Fluoxetine "I took Prozac when it first came out, it was great, but I was drinking with it. I joined AA 25 years ago. So my lady has been taking Prozac, and she's great in every way on it, so now I am taking it again. I'm feeling so much better, just 20 mg. I have positive thoughts for a drastic change. I recommend Prozac."

Fluoxetine "I had been on this drug for many years and didn't know that it was making me worse until I stopped taking it. It needs to be monitored more closely as it can be a very powerful drug with horrific side effects such as violence and mania. I was initially on 60 mg and the dose was tapered down to 10 mg and then ceased. I had 25 admissions to the mental health hospital. Use with caution!"

"When I first took the pill 1-2 hours after it, I just knew it would change the world for me. I'm on the 3rd day now, concentration/focus and recovery from it are at a new level for me. It almost feels unreal because I can do so much stuff now that was impossible for me before. The energy of doing more things before bed is how I feel. Oh, now I do what I was so jealous of in others before. Now I do this stuff, and that's more than amazing for me. Voices, what I can call them, make it a lot easier being in the reality of others. They aren't as sad and longing for something else anymore. I obviously don't suffer as much as before. I know I have a lot to take care of. But now it is possible. So good this website exists. It was when I looked here, and all with my diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder did a 10 out of 10 rating. I just had to ask my doctor for it, and she gave me a prescription. I can just say thanks God I did that, because my life will never be the same."

Fluoxetine "The best thing ever to be invented. The very first time I took my first dose, literally 30 minutes later I went from being catatonic, incoherent, and hysterical to a sudden new feeling I had never felt before in my life. Happiness, calm, and serenity. My imaginary pain disappeared as well. Suddenly everything made sense. I was all like, omg, is this what normal people feel? I couldn't believe I had been missing out on this emotion for the first 24 years of my life. It gave me my life back. Been happy, successful, and productive ever since."
