For a long time, I was afraid to take prozac because I heard all these horror stories about people who went on murder sprees and/or committed suicide after taking prozac--or upping their dosage. I finally started taking it, and even tho I had some mild side effects, for the most part it's calmed me down! And I'm at the highest dose allowed! And I don't know anyone personally that killed themselves-or anyone else--because of prozac.
