> Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! I've been lucky with the bowel movements! And I usually have a really sensitive stomach, too, so I guess this drug was just meant for me. Do you find that you do better on Prozac?
Yes, when I first went on Prozac (April '98), it worked miraculously, with no side effects except sleepiness. I was on it for about 9 months and went off because I was doing MUCH better. But then my panic/anxiety came back, and tried it again, but it didn't work as well the 2nd time. But I've decided to give it another try, because I've been reading some Prozac message boards, and I see mostly great things about it, and that if it doesn't work well by itself after a couple months, adding Buspar usually solves the problem. By the way, right now, I'm taking Effexor every other day to wean off of it, and it's really bad.....I feel like I'm VERY stoned, and I get those electric shock things constantly. I never had any kind of withdrawal with Prozac....I think because it has such a long half life. Sorry this was so long....
