How does Prozac exactly works?


Question Posted Wednesday January 2 2013, 1:59 am

So this is the thing I've been diagnosed w major depression disorder and they have offered me to take Prozac. Of course I'm not obligated to take them but I would still want to know what are the side effects and if it does work because I've heard that it becomes addictive and later on you depend on them to feel happy.

I have not heard of Prozac becoming addictive. I do not know all the side effects, though I do know it gave me major headaches, which is uncommon. If you have a major depressive disorder and are seeing a psychiatrist, I recommend following their suggestions for medication. If it does not help you or you do not like the side effects, there are many others you can try. I also recommend seeing a therapist. To treat mental health disorders, you need a regimen of medication, therapy, and support. For support, look for a DBSA (depression and bipolar support alliance) group in your area. I run such a group and they are very helpful.
