> How does the Prozac make you feel? Is there a high incidence of sexual dysfunction in men? I ask because I've heard the worst sexual s/efx happen in women. Is the drug stimulating? Has anyone lost weight on it? Please, just tell me anything you know!Hi Ame,
I take 10 mg brand Prozac daily, and I find that it gives me an almost instant uplift in mood-it literally makes me smile(even when I really don't want to!)No weight gain/loss.
It follows that it is of course quite activating;
great if you're suffering from lethargy etc., but often counterproductive(short term) if you're suffering with anxiety too.
One cautionary thing - it can cause restlessness and agitation in some, and it did that to me,untill I discovered I became hypomanic on all AD's without first having a mood stabilizer in place.(BP 11).
It has however, turned me into 'Floppy Boy', so if you want to pull out of our date, I'll understand.... *_-
Ps. Lots of info on ssri induced sexual dysfunction on PB tips.
