Has anyone used these for depression and what did you think?

Thank you.

I'm taking it at the moment. It is just the generic name for Prozac, a SSRI. It seems to be working, although it's always hard to pin point an improvement when the problem isn't physical, and I've had no side effect (that I've noticed anyway.).

I was on Prozac for a couple of years. They made me feel as if every worry just floated over my head, and things that used to work me up just seemed unimportant.
I would have been quite happy to have continued taking them, but my doctor decided I had been on them long enough, and told me to stop taking them to see how I went on.
I just stopped stopped them when my prescription ran out and I didnt have any problems with withdrawal.
They got me over a time when I needed help, and I havent had to take anything since.

I took these some time ago. I'm not sure if they 'actualy' worked. I wonder if I would have started to feel better anyway after a while. The mind is a funny thing ain't it?

I was given these for depression too and although they worked for me i had a dreadful time coming off them.

Thats my worry. Plus they are Prozac which has had a bad press too.

I used these for a short time. I felt they did not make me feel any happier or such, but they did help me handle situations and problems calmer! Dont quite know if it was the pills or my mind telling me. When I was a child I used to be very car sick, and my dad used to give me two 2p's he told me to hold one in one hand and the other in the other hand. I did this all the way to devon, which is a long way from Romford, and I was not sick and didnt even feel sick. Since then ive held the same 2p's everywhere I go, and passed this on to my own children. Obviously this was all in my mind but it worked. All Im saying is that the mind is a strange thing, but pills are helpful too. Goodluck. s0nicxx
