I took it for my migraines for about a year and had no negative side effects and a couple of good ones. I was able to focus on things and I felt more like, well, ME. (This might have not been such a great thing for other people, but I sure was happy with it.) They quit working on the headaches and I gained about 40 lbs. Went off of 'em until a different neurologist started me back on them - at more than twice the previous dose.

In retrospect, I might have been ok if I'd been started gradually. As it was, I had nearly all the side effects in the book within a week and stopped.

Anybody who thinks proper medication with Prozac turns a person into a zombie really doesn't have a clue. Tri-cyclic antidepressants, yes. (Did those too.) The modern SRI's (what's the second 'S' for?) are more beneficial, and get better all the time. If I had that "don't give a rat's ass about life" feeling all the time instead of just once in a while and my doctor thought anti-depressants sounded like a good idea, I wouldn't hesitate to give them a try.
