Prozac (fluoxetine) probably saved my life. I took it for five years, and it was the first effective anti-depressant that I took (mid-90s).

I've read all the horror stories and dire warnings and claims of side effects .... but for me, it was great, no problems, just worked.

My libido took a hit at this time, and that may have been the fluoxetine (or it may just have been me).

Unfortunately, I eventually suffered "Prozac Poop Out" and it stopped being effective for me . I have spent much of this decade working with my psych to find a replacement; Cymbalta plus Lexapro are currently doing a good job.
