Fluoxetine Prozac By Robyn Walker on Sep 04, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I wanted to do a review on this drug because of how it has impacted my life. It is obviously a medication for depression, nervous disorders, eating disorders, etc. but I have been using it for depression. I do have to say first that there are some side effects. I personally have had weight gain and other issues from using Prozac.

The benefits have far outweighed the cons. I went from basically living like a hermit to being "normal" and participating in life's activities. This was a major step for me because I have lived my whole life afraid of people and going places. I always hated meeting new people and going to new places.

My life today is so drastically different. I have been taking it for just over two years now and I have a life now that I never dreamed that I would have before. I still don't love meeting new people or going new places but it is bearable and sometime I even have fun! There is no more panic attacks, either. I have to say that for depression, this drug really works.
