MUCH calmer. My thoughts have stopped being so intense and I am happier than I have ever been and it isn’t hard to be happy. It’s fantastic for me and I love it.

I am also a “med hater”. But I love Prozac. Amazing.

I get intrusive thoughts still but they're not nearly as distressing and I usually can move on without getting anxious or doing a compulsion.

Thanks for the insight y'all. But I did some research on prozac and anti-depressants and found out that they have some dangerous side effects, I'm rethinking my decisions on taking prozac now..

Prozac literally changed my life before. I highly recommend it. There are risks to every medication. If you start experiencing side effects you can always stop the med.

@Maybe,MaybeNot Exactly. It’s worth a try because it may really alleviate your symptoms. I felt a change the day I took it but for many it takes only 4 weeks to see a change. You should definitely try it & don’t research the symptoms yourself. You’ll find some false and some old information. Ask your doctor because they’ll know the real new information.

Prozac saved my mind. I struggled with harm OCD & i was in the worst mental space. I couldn’t even do ERP because the intrusive thoughts were too strong and the anxiety was too debilitating. I slept with my mom because I was scared to sleep by myself and I couldn’t eat because I’d throw it all up because of the anxiety. I was super reluctant about Prozac and I read every single review I could find on the internet. I was so scared about the potential side effects, I called friends to stay with me while my parents went to work. I was 25 so imagine my embarrassment to be a 25 year old that needed to be babysat. ANYWAY, about 2 weeks in, I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself I had to let the Prozac work and intrusive thoughts be laughable. I could finally eat and started sleeping by myself. It gave me my life back. No side effects, no nothing. I’m no longer taking it & sometimes I get intrusive thoughts but I’m doing ERP now to recovery and I’m in a place where I CAN & that’s priceless.
