Prozac? Have you taken it? Would you say it is good or bad?

Question:

Answers:
I'm manic depressive and took Prozac last time I had a relapse because the depression (and anxiety) was really bad. It did help me, although it took a few agonizing weeks (I think we went with too low a dose initially).
Good or bad? It really depends on the individual, and individual reactions to it seem impossible to predict.
I do find it alarming, the sheer numbers of people who are taking it for long periods of time, especially women who take it for postpartum depression and then stay on it during subsequent pregnancies. I guess it's easier/cheaper to prescribe/take a pill than to try to find the root cause of the depression and work that out.
Why so many people are depressed might make another good discussion question, but I won't get into it here.

Worked great for me!
