My Doctor just gave me some Fluoxetine pills to take. Has anyone ever taken these? How did you feel after takeing them? What side effects did you get?

Thats prozac right? I was given these to help me 'deal with my depression'. I didn't think that I really needed them, and so was a bit reluctant in taking them. I took them for a while, for about 3-4 weeks or soemthing, but they personally made me feel sick and so I didn't feel they did anything, so stopped. I guess I should have taken them for longer..
Anyway, it effects everybody differently. For people I know it has worked wonders, they had no side effects either liek scikness or anything, but yea, it all depends on the person.
They take a while to work, a few weeks, so if you take them for like 2 weeks and feel theyre not working, keep taking them becuase it takes a while.
Anyway, hoep I maybe helped a little, see how it goes.
No not Prozac, I would neva take that.
Thx for ya help tho.
What was the reason you went to the docs for and the reason he/she gave you them for?
Are they green and whitey/cream capsules?
Edit: Their pale blue and cram.
It may well help, so its worth a try.
I have had them in two different colours yeah. Don't be worried because prozac is thought for only really barmy people. Thats a load of bollocks.
The only major side effect i have noticed is its harder to reach orgasm!:o Grr.
Theres a factsheet about it on here .
Hope this helps.
Like any antidepressant, it doesn't work for everybody. Can I make a suggestion? Call up the people who prescribed it if you have any questions or fears - they should be more than happy to explain anything to you, and they'd definitely want to know if it wasn't working or was giving you nasty side effects.
