Prozac worked great on my depression but after a year or so I couldn't take anymore of the side effects. I got terrible insomnia from it, which was pretty well controlled with some nortryptiline, but I still had these crazy vivid dreams where my body was full of unwanted energy. It erased my sex drive 100%, so that the sight of an attractive man did not even register on me. He might as well have been a potted plant. It killed my appetite, which sounds OK, but it was so extreme I had to force myself to eat. Food was utterly unappealing (like men).
So basically my brain felt great, but all the pleasure was gone from eating, sleep, and sex. It didn't feel like I was actually alive anymore. I felt like a disembodied head.
