I didn't like the dopey effect .. and to be honest, I didn't think it did much different for me. I have been on Prozac for .... wait for it ... around 15 years !! I used to be a bit OCD .. i.e. cleaning the kitchen floor with a toothbrush and hoovering the carpet one way and getting frantic if anyone walked on it .. lol .. I now feel "normal" ... I still stress, don't get me wrong, but I feel far more in control.
