I was given a prescription for prozac for what was mild to possibly moderate depression. After a couple of weeks of being on it I was getting more and more depressed until after only a few weeks I was crying a lot and had become borderline suicidal. That is the only time I have ever called the suicide hotline. The psychiatrist who prescribed it to me would not see me or change my prescription because I didn't have the money at the time for a full hour office visit payment. I tried to talk him into letting me see him for a shorter amount of time but he refused. He did not even tell me to go to the emergency room if I was suicidal. So I just quit taking it that same day and each day that I was off of it I felt noticably better than the day before. Please note that my daughter, my husband and my mom have taken it with no bad side effects and it worked wonders for them.
