i dunno. my mommy took prozac, but she had 5 kids. im 15.. i don't need it!
it happens to the best of ppl nothing wrong with it Doctors assume that anything can be cured with chemical products. Even what used to be considered perfectly normal.
Obviously your doctor thinks you have a problem.
Any 18 year old who says "so a drink alil bit" has a drinking problem.
Prozac isn't age related. Apparently your doctor thought it would help you and it might but you won't know unless you give it a fair trial. Prozac isn't the "devil" medicine some people make it out to be - It is a very effective medicine - I took it for 3 or 4 years with no unwanted side effects. eh I don't know why he perscribed prozac. Zoloft works better and is not habit-forming and has much fewer side effects.
Don't take it, if you think you are depressed, you're not alone. Anti-depressant pills have lots of psychological side affects. I personally think they do more harm then good. You need to find other ways to be happy instead of resorting to a damn pill. Trust me I was down that road.but I'm glad I did not take them. My doctor told me too, but good thing I refused. I don't want to live my life dependant on pills when I have my own mind to fight this stupid mind plague. Your mind is the most powerful thing, so fight it with your mind.
ummm r those happy pills
i think there is a problem with your dr. they used to try all those on me but the only time i ever felt better was off all the drugs. careful cause your young and you dont want to depend on any drugs.nothing is that bad your doctor has prescribed this medicine for you because he thinks that you NEED it. everybody gets jumpy at times. many people are constantly depressed. even kids as young as 8 years old have suicidal tendencies.
these kinds of medicine are supposed to target the chemical imbalances in the brain that become a factor in psychological disorders.
it's up to you if you think you really NEED this in order to feel good and happy.
Yes, you have a problem. But why Prozac? Probably because the doc wants the money from the insurance. That's why diagnoses of ADD has skyrocketed. It's better to say you have something and the doctor gets paid for the visits rather than saying the parents are stupid. Prozac is normally prescribed depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, panic disorder, and bulimia. And oh by the way, you might want to read up on it. 18 year olds and younger have a few serious side effects.like a higher rate of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. if at all you can get off the drug please do.. check this out . http://www.oikos.org/biopsychiatry.htm
