Just sharing my recent, good experience with Prozac.

I was hospitalized in August (I think) for a psychotic/manic episode, then again in September/October for a mixed episode. The manic part was treated with loads of haldol and risperdal and left me in a suicidal depression, for which they started prozac. My IP doc said he wasn't worried about mania because I was already in the hospital so it wasn't so risky. It worked pretty well (combined with risperdal), and within a couple weeks I was out of the hospital ready to tackle life again. I recently came off of it with the okay from my outpatient provider to start it again if I begin to swing low. I've had a couple of days of minor hypomania, but nothing too out of control.
