Prozac Options

Well, my girlfriend's psychiatrist prescribed her Prozac. She definitely doesn't seem depressed at all. She doesn't think so either. She's one of the happiest people I know. Anyway, I read up on Prozac, and it sounds dangerous. Does anyone know what the effects of Prozac are on a person who is not depressed? Thanks!

Greetings!

I was put on Prozac for around eighteen months about twelve years ago, but it was due to depression. I cannot really comment on Prozac for symptoms other than depression.

However, according to friends and family around me during my time on Prozac, I was extremely bad tempered and flew off the handle at the slightest thing! It was a huge side effect which is worth noting here.

Also, it took me a number of years to actually 'come off' Prozac.

Twleve months later I was prescribed a Tri-cyclic anti-depressant 'Dothepin' to aid in the coming off Prozac.

I remember being on Prozac to this day. I was 'up there' all the time and totally oblivious to the emotional crap which was going on around me. I was in bliss zone and uncaring of anything.
