If you try it make sure you've taken the daily version for at least 12 weeks. The prescribing info says this but a lot of doctors ignore it.
My doctor gave my samples of Prozac Weekly to try after being on a daily dose for only two weeks. What happened was that I took the weekly and I would feel disoriented, dilated pupils and about a day or so before it was time for the next dose, I would sink into a major slump, like I was coming down from a drinking or drug binge.
I really didn't any major sides as far as nausea, diarreah etc. but you should definitely have taken a daily dose at least 12 weeks to have it built up in your body prior to starting the Prozac Weekly to avoid a roller coaster ride.
