Me on prozac. (Took it 9 years ago for 6 months)
Emotions: better than depressed, but with a limited range. not as happy or as sad as normal.
Motivation: Low. I felt so good about everything, I wouldn't have cared if I flunked out of school or got evicted or anything negative. I would have blown it off.
Creativity: gone.
Intellect: Lower. Any thought that would give me an unpleasant feeling -- and analyzing almost anything could create this -- would disappear down a rabbit hole.
Relationships: They improved while I was on the drug.
Weight: I definitely lost weight and had less appetite.
Withdrawal: Fairly mild. Quit cold turkey and felt exhausted for about a week.
p.s. I hope you can find something better.
