Prozac side-affects?
I've been taking 40mg of prozac for about 4 months now and i've noticed that i no longer feel happy or depressed....just sort of "there". I feel emotionally dead. I don't really feel happy at times when i should and i feel like i force myself to express appropriate emotions throughout the day. Is this from the prozac, or something else?

My mom took prozac a few years back and didn't like the results. She said it seemed to help for the first few weeks then gradually made her feel angry and less happy than before. You should definatley discuss it with your doctor. I think for most people it takes trying a couple of different things before you get the appropriate chemical balance needed. When you get it, you'll be so glad you didn't "settle" for the first thing you tried. Good luck.
That is what the drug is supposed to do, control you and make you not care about anything, then when the government goes to inslave the people they will all go quietly without a fight! I can't think of anything worse you can do to yourself than take Prozac, but you have to wing yourself off of it or it will make you ill or dead just like Heroin, I know for certain, I wasn't informed that if I quit taking it I could and probably would die as a side effect. I had less trouble quitting crack cocain, and even more trouble quitting cigarettes, but by far anti-depressants are the worse thing to quit taking, at least all you do is want drugs, stopping anti-depressants is very painful and does cause death in some cases. I found out the hard way and it nearly cost me my life. My prescribing doctor didn't say anything about dying if I stopped taking the drug until after I did it and told him about my illness from it! I bet you weren't told that abruptly stopping taking the drug could kill you, am I right?
Could be from the Prozac, but you also asked "something else". I would need to know if you were taking another medication along with the Prozac.
good day i to have OCD and take anti-depressents no longer prozac although i take efexor-XR , the element is for individuals who be afflicted by OCD is that there is not any ultimate medicine for OCD so consequently we are able to basically be taken care of with anti dpressants i come across individually that some weeks i would be relatively good and then sometime i'm able to easily turn for no reason , i stay an more desirable than happy existence its only the OCD which could make me depressed , its consistently good to chat on your usual practitioner approximately different medicine innovations yet each so often i think of us those that be afflicted by OCD can only grow to be on a downer for no reason i be responsive to i do residing with ocd would be stressful on the better of situations yet as long as your daughter keeps taking some medicine of a few type , goodluck with it
hmm, lets test this. if you only feel "just sort of there" or emotionally dead, does that mean if you put your hand on a hot stove youll feel nothing? test it, you might find that you have a new feeling( or reconnecting with 1), like hot hot hot or if you are really emotionally dead then that confirms your hypothesis and you can proceed to writting a dissertation out it.
If you are having any thing abnormal happen while on any med no matter what it is you should see a dr and have them change it. there are diffrent meds out there that do the same thing.
i'm not sure never had to take it
