In fact it's NUMB squared.
I don't know.. it made my dad almost commit suicide. It doesn't work for everyone.
Prozac is supposed to make you feel more normal and less depressed, if it is one that you are going to work for you. Prozac does not work for everyone, there are other things too
i dunno but let me know
Less depressed
It makes you incapable of feeling any emotion. Take it only if you need it.
I was on it for a week. I could not stand it. I was sooo sleepy. I also did not care about anything. Which is good and bad. I did not care about the bad stuff, but I also did not care about good stuff. Like someone could have said "hey JP, you just won 50000 dollars" I would have been like "ugh ok." I did not think that lack of emotions was worth it....at all.
Wanna feel good?

It doesn't make you feel any different. Supposedly it fixes chemical blockages of seratonin in your brain. It won't help if your'e depressed from being a loser or having low self esteem.
It calms you down, a little. It does not make you feel better. It simply helps you deal with an issue or problem that is bothering you by making it seem less important; less stressful. Use only for a relatively short time.
I take Prozac for severe PMS.
It's not a cure-all, but I have to say, it has made a difference. I still feel evil and nasty but at least Prozac allows me to get out of bed and share my evil and nasty with everyone else!
It makes you feel like you're stuck in a tunnel. IT"S THE WORST!
It makes you feel NUMB.
INFORMATION:
Fluoxetine hydrochloride is an antidepressant drug used medically in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia nervosa, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and panic disorder. Fluoxetine is also used (off-label) to treat many other conditions, such as ADHD. Fluoxetine was derived from diphenhydramine, an antihistamine found to inhibit reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
Common adverse effects include anxiety, which is possibly associated with an interaction of fluoxetine with the pineal gland,[13] in addition to restlessness and insomnia. Weight loss, trembling, weakness, skin rash, anorgasmia, itching, and a decrease in sexual drive, have also been reported. Finally it has been reported to cause subsequent weight gain [1].
Like other SSRIs, an overdose of fluoxetine or combining it with other antidepressants can lead to serotonin syndrome.
As was said before, Prozac doesn't work for everyone. If you are having radical mood swings, going from elated and happy and everything is wonderful to sad, crying, I want to die depression... it works great. The main idea as I understood it was to cut off those super highs and super lows giving you a kind of balance. It does make you numb, and for me for a while, that was what I needed. Then I got tired of not being as 'happy' as I once was, everything was just kind of 'there'. Nothing was exciting anymore. Not that I was depressed about that, I didn't care one way or the other. I went off Prozac for a while, eventually the depression came back and I switched to Effexor which seems to be working quite well for me. Good luck.
I take it for obsessive-compulsive disorder and feel better. As an SSRI, Prozac doesn't mask symptoms, but works to correct the problem with Serotonin. Often times once a person stops taking Prozac, their symptoms return.
It affects many different people in different ways. It can help relieve the symptoms of depression for some, but I found it made me worse and have suicidal thoughts - which was very scary. I got myself off them asap. As I say, its different for everyone
yeah..it does help me abit to go through the day. especially when i dont feel like myself. It actually does makes u feel good bout urself and somehow it makes me sharp. But the effects may vary for other people.
But i had to take other meds too, to stabilize it i.e sodium valproate(epilim) and lamotrigine(lamictal). Consult ur doc.
i hate the side effects though. I get really hungry and sometimes it's difficult cos i'm the type who always wants to loose weight(i used to have an eating disorder). And yeah..it makes u a bit drowsy and sleepy.
I found it made me feel more suicidal. Again it depends on A) dosage and B) where you are emotionally.
I'd ask your Doctor or Pharmacist if your not positive on the effects.
