I have heard that prozac and ecstasy are similar chemically. Certainly the come-downs have a lot in common. Totally nightmarish and unhinging! Thinking of equal and opposite reactions, after E you get the opposite. Anyone already wobbly (which presumably applies to anyone on prozac) needs an ecstasy come-down like a hole in the head. My experience of prozac, 20mg., is that after one week it was a tremendous battle not to kill myself, and I had never been suicidal before. So I came off it and hung on to sanity by a tiny thread for the following 48 hours. And this was a drug my doctor had urged me to take after a miscarriage: "It's so light...you won't really notice anything except a slight lifting of the spirits..." Couln't eat or sleep for a week. Apparently prozac offers lots of lovely golfing holidays and stuff to medics. Too bad they don't force them to take the drug themselves, then we might have a different situation. Another thing to bear in mind is that the very useful anti-depressant drugs, tri-cyclics, have fallen out of favour since their patent ran out - so not much of a money-spinner any more. All this is just my personal opinion and experience. ss
