Hi Desparado

I was on Prozac last year. I started off on 20mg/day which worked for about a month and then nothing so I was put up to 40mg/day)

I did have problems with a severe headache for the first week and really bad night sweats the whole time I was on it (about 7 months)

I felt like it kicked in almost immediatley but didn't last for long so that was the reason I was put up to 40mg/day (I didn't realise 20mg/day was a high dose to start at before Dr S just said)

At this dose it worked really well for me and the only long term side effects were I didn't sleep very well, the night sweats and I lost about 10lb's but the improvement in my mood was great, I got through a really rough time in my life whilst I was on Prozac (not the reason why I was on it) that I don't think I'd have dealt with so well without it

I would definately say to give it a go if you can stand the first week or so of nasty side effects, they do fade and you might find it helps you better than the other meds you've tried so far, you never know, don't give up!
