I wanted to revive this thread, rather than starting a whole new one, to ask those of you who have taken Prozac if you had any miserable side effects. I know they have to warn people of all the possible side effects of a drug, even if the incidence of such is only a fraction of a percent. I am choosing to remain anonymous for now only because I haven't yet discussed this with my husband.

I went through therapy last year, and it was helpful. I can now recognize some of the things that get me depressed, and I can handle them better. But I still have the problem of Not Caring. As in, I don't care if I get up today or not. I don't care if I walk out into the street and get hit by a truck. I don't care if my nose falls off. I don't care if I never speak to (insert any person's name here) again. Things like that.

I notice it is much worse during that Crazy Monthly Woman Hormone Swing. Which means I have about 2 good weeks out of 4 every month.

I am going to the doctor next week, and I am going to ask about trying Prozac. I think I owe it to myself, and the people around me, to at least give it a try.
