I have been on prozac for the past 5 months, and I am glad that I decided to
give it a try.  I really think it has given my body/brain the break it
needed to get back in balance.  I don't feel any side effects from the meds,
and I don't feel like I'm taking a "happy" pill.  I do feel like I'm really
getting some sleep when I wake up in the morning (instead of still tired)
and that I can manage my stress again.  It takes about 3 weeks to take full
effect, so don't freak out if you don't feel an immediate change.  Good
luck!
