I took prozac for several years. It worked fantastic as an AD. I quit last year when I finally made the connection with prozac and the mystery of my vanishing sex drive. The last three months I was on the medication, I developed a very annoying twitch in my right eye that steadily got worse. I remember thinking that it couldn't be the prozac because I'd been taking it for many years without this side-effect(ignorance is not always bliss). I quit taking prozac and the twitch went away. And if anyone is interested, the sex drive came back 8-)
