so I've been on 40mg, my prescribed dose of prozac, for about 8 days.

My head seems very quiet. it's not that i can't think, it's just that I don't hear myself when I do think (not literally, I never heard voices.) I wasn't really aware of how much I was "listening" to myself think until suddenly there's nothing to hear.

I guess this must not make much sense. I don't know how to explain it -- it's like before I had a sort of inner monologue, and now I don't.

It's not a problem exactly. it's kind of pleasant, and again I can still read and work and all. But it's really weird, and different. it's like the effect of ativan but I'm awake.

Is this how people are normally?

I had a similar effect with prozac, I really like the effect, however prozac doesnt seem to help my depression so now I am in the process of changing to cymbalta.
