i was scared to death to even take my meds at first; in fact it took me 8 months after it was first prescribed b4 i could bring myself to take them. partly because at that time i had just read an article about a 19 year old girl, who at 15, murdered a 9 year old girl after the doc upped her dosage of prozac! i finally broke down and started taking them this last june because i was going to kill myself.

i've had some side effects, but they have not been near as bad as i thought would be.
