Hey folks,

So I saw my psychologist today and I would just like anyone's opinion who is been on Prozac. I was on 25 mg Clomipramine for generalizing Anxiety disorder and depressionwhich which my GP prescribed me. I felt that this drug made me very tired. And I don't have OCD so I wasn't sure why I was prescribed this. So I wanted to know if anybody's been on Prozac and if it seemed to help?

    Hi,

    I have been on fluoxetine (prozac), for at least 18 months and generally I am okay. It doesn't help my anxiety but I was originally on sertraline and that mucked with my brain.

    Mike.

    I was on Prozac for 21 years with good results. Then tried two other antidepressants which only seemed to work for short periods of time before giving out. 

    I started back on Prozac 3 weeks ago.

    Give it a try. Everyone responds differently to medications.

    Good luck
