I’ve taken low dose Prozac since 1987. It has made a normal life possible.
Your key word is low dose.
I am glad to learn that the drug helped you.
“I’ve taken low dose Prozac since 1987. It has made a normal life possible.”
I have several friends who report the same, and I am grateful that such drugs exist. I also cringe when I hear them being prescribed for children, however, as seem to occur far too often these days. That said, I cannot imagine what it would be like trying to grow up in today’s mainstream ‘culture’.
I’m glad it helped you. The hospital put my husband on it after his stroke. Not because he needed it. He didn’t. They put him on it because they put all their stroke survivors on it, just in case. When he came home, I weaned him off it, against doctors’ advice. His cognitive function improved.
I’ve been taking a low dose SSRI for over 15 years. I am a rock ribbed conservative. I don’t shoot up schools, paint my hair purple or put rooting rings in my nose! I just know that severe depression is worse than having your arm cut off!
Same, since 1990
I do Adderall. It makes me functional at work. Without it, I simply cannot concentrate. I interrupt people. I cannot pay attention to important key points. I hope Kennedy goes after things that won’t screw me up personally, I heard him mention Adderall.
