Can You Tell Me About Depression and Prosac?

Question by merlin g: Can you tell me about depression and prosac?
I have been on prozac for about three months now. Originally I was on 20mg but was bumped up to 40mg. I found once I went up to 40mg I started progressively feeling better.

At some point after a few weeks I hit a peak that was very short lived and am now on a backward slide that has me back to where I was or even worse off.

I have lost 60 lbs over the last year and am having mild headaches daily.

Has anyone had similar experiences with depression and “treatment”?
I am getting pretty hopeless here. I know this is not a place to seek advice or treatment, I only want to know if others have experienced similar symptoms and .effects.

There are many depression medications, Prozac may not be the right one for you. See your doctor to find the right meds and dosage. Good luck!
