Hope, I never would have thought that I would take anything stronger than Tylenol in my life because I don't like meds, so when my therapist said Prozac, I almost died. Then I realized that I should give it a try and see what happens. Best thing I could have done! I am so much happier and so is the rest of my family, we just enjoy each other so much more now. I have had no side effects from the Prozac except for the weight loss, which is fine by me. Everyone is different on it though. I have a 4 year old and a 22 month old and have tried every diet in the world and every exersize program I could afford, nothing motivated me, mainly due to depression. The Prozac is helping me deal with that depression, but it is also making me have no appetite. I actually have to have a chart on the door to remind me to eat and feed the kids b/c I don't want to get out of control and cause myself more problems. Where I just started, I think it will be a couple of months before my dr and I find the right dosages for me, and I am hoping that both meds are short term. My goal is to not need Prozac after the winter and the Topamax depends on my migranes and seizures.
