Prozac frightened

11-03-2003, 06:01 AM

I know the internet is a wonderful place for info but I got myself in a terrible state last night by reading too many negative stories about prozac. (People have manic reactions etc.)
Im just trying to reason with myself that even though a lot of people have a horrible reaction to it millions of people tke it every year and not all of them have a problem......
Anyway - sorry just waffling - just trying to convince myself.

When you get on the internet and read about Prozac it probably does scare you to death since their are so many people who have all kinds of horror stories to tell. There are also some who think it's a great drug. I was on it for about a year and it worked just fine and the only reason that I stopped taking it was because it wasn't working for me anymore so I had my doctor put me on Lexapro which is great, or at least it is for me. I didn't feel like I wanted to harm myself or anyone else while taking the Prozac.

Try not to be afraid to continue taking it if it's helping your depression and if it isn't have your doctor put you on something else.
