Yup! (Much to the dismay of my fellow workers).
> For me, prozac didn't really stop me from having bad days, I do - even bad weeks - but the major bed-ridden crying bouts of depression are gone and have stayed gone now for years and years.God bless.
I wish you continued success with your treatment. Of course, you know that you endanger your treatment response to Prozac should you discontinue it for a month or longer and try to restart it. For some reason, the brain is allowed to build up a resistance to the clinical effects of some antidepressants should it be given some time to compensate without the drug being present. Often, the antidepressant response cannot be recaptured, necessitating a trial of alternative treatments.
Stay well.
