Hi I'm Annie. My dr said prozac is a mood enhancer, also anti - depressant. I took it for a couple of yrs. It causes dizziness and you get very sleepy . It can cause thoughts of sicide , so be careful if you take any ! Annie
I used to use this. It definitely treated my depression, but while on it I was practically unable to have a normal sex life. It was bizzare, it was like it stripped me of desire.
I was switched to Wellbutrin, and that worked a lot better for me.
Eventually, I stopped taking it as I got older, but it was a help to me when I needed it. I feel that antidepressants need to be considered along with psychotherapy as part of an entire treatment of depression, but I advise prospective patients to be fully cognizant of the risks and benefits of this or any drug-assisted treatment.
Different drug-assisted therapies are going to fit different people and there is no instant cure for someone suffering from an affective disorder.
Personally, I think one of the most helpful pharmaceuticals for dealing with depression is MDMA, it is unfortunate that politics and propaganda have kept it out of the hands of therapists and doctors who could use it to help people in these dark situations.
