Have you ever taken Prozac? It seems like everytime I turn around I’m being told that Prozac has saved yet another person from a deep depression. I took Prozac 15 years ago when I first started having depression episodes. It definitely worked in the beginning. After a year though, 20 milligrams just wasn’t enough. So my doctor prescribed 40 milligrams. That helped for about six months and then it stopped working.

So the dose went up to 60 milligrams. Again, that worked for awhile and then it ceased. I don’t know if that is common, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it were. I think our bodies have a tendency to get used to a drug and then it stops working and we need something else. I switched to a different anti-depressant and was able to find relief from my depression for a few years. Eventually I went off all anti-depressants and am feeling great. I guess sometimes we just need to look at what might be causing our depression.
