I was on Prozac once, for ten days. I begged my Dr. not to make me take it any more. This was after a bout of thyroid issues which they thought was the original cause of the depression. Turns out I'm bi-polar, so they put me back on my original medicine - Imipramine (generic of Tofranil). It's an older medication that most docs don't prescribe any more, but it's worked for me for 20+ years. I've only had to up my dosage 3-4 times in that 20 year period. If I get into a real rut, the doc will add Zoloft for a while. I really like it.
