> LindaHi Linda,
I never had any side effects from Prozac that I can recall. It brought me out of a bad depression after about 3 weeks at 20mg. (the only AD that ever helped). After two years the poop-out occurred and dose increases to 60mg made no difference. No ad has worked since.
I took Zoloft for three or four months up to 200mg. per day with no benefit. The only side effect I can remember was a "wired" feeling with some anger and sleep disruption at the 200mg. dose.
D/Ced both meds cold turkey with no withdrawal (would not advise you D/C in this manner....you are young with a viable brain....I am brain dead).
My best wishes in your treatment.
