[quote=Anonymous]A long time ago I went on Prozac when a parent was very ill, I had the job from hell and I had gone through a bad breakup. I was on it for a year. I could not have made it to work everyday, etc without it. I never cried the whole time I was on it which was odd, but I also didn't feel as much joy as I am able to. I did feel hopeful. The side effects were a bit tough to get through and there were many. I also saw a therapist, but truth be told it was the proxac that got me through. I already have read about cognitive behavior therapy and everything else. I find that all useful with day to day stresses, but I learned it all through books already.

Recently after facing some big life stressors I found myself becoming more and more negative and not wanting to get out of bed. I don't have the luxury of time or money for therapy and I didn't want a pill with a big punch. I went on wellbutrin which I find mild. I can feel my emotions. I can cry. I just don't sink down as far as I would off it. I always want to get out of bed now. I am a nicer person. I can be a better mother and a more pleasant wife and not fall apart over all the stresses in my life right now. I am hoping to get off it gradually when life settles down if that ever happens, but I am grateful I got on it when I did, because more major stressors kept coming my way and I cannot imagine functioning without it. I am not a big meds advocate by the way, but crap keeps falling you can't fall apart and I won't while I am taking this.  [/quote]
