In reply to Prozac - any experience/info you can share?, posted by Greg on May 19, 2000, at 22:02:39
Greg,
I've been through two regimens of Prozac - one in 1990, then again in 1994. Both times it worked well for me for about 2 months. Then I would become very lethargic, sleep 12 to 14 hours per day and really piled on the weight.
Had similar experiences with Effexor and Celexa. But then, I don't react typically to most meds - valium makes me climb the walls and I can get a 'high' from benedryl that ought to be illegal.
So far I haven't experienced the irritability from Wellbutrin - but couldn't tolerate either neurontin or depakote - both made me feel as though my head was in a vice and my thought processes became very disjointed.
On the other hand, some of my co-workers have had success with Prozac. If I remember correctly, L. Ron Hubbard and his 'church' disseminated quite a bit of anti-Prozac literature in the early 90's, but I discounted that just because of the source.
Personally, I think this is all a 'crap shoot' anwyay. Sometimes I feel like a 'lab rat' as my docs don't seem to know what to do with me.
Hope this helps,
dls
