My Prozac Experience

And then I noticed the biggest change of all. My mind was....quiet. Eerily so. It seemed like the TV station of my brain was on the static white noise channel. I felt good as nothingness goes. I noticed that when I woke up, my thoughts were not banging against the gate waiting to be released. I merely....woke up...my eyes open to this new leveled terrain with no hills or horizon.

I do often wonder how things would be on an anti-depressant.  I realize there are many more to choose from.  For now I will continue my battle without prescriptions.  Even my neurologist was afraid to prescribe anything else based upon my reaction to the Prozac.  She recommended I try other methods to help myself such as therapy and I agreed.  I am also using natural ways to combat my depression which will be a good topic for future posts. 

I am very curious to hear how others have responded to Prozac or other popular anti-depressants.  What has helped the most for you by way of prescribed medications?  Are the side effects worth it?  What does the experience feel like on these meds?  Please do share with us.  Your words may help someone else.
