PROZAC hangover effect

Posted by Arthur Gibson on August 13, 2002, at 6:14:27

I am a 50 YO male living in the UK. Happily married with two young children.

I developed moderate depression after a business setback four months ago and was given PROZAC to help with the depression and serious suicidal thoughts and plans.

I have never suffered from depression before in my life.

Within two weeks of staring PROZAC my depression deepened wildly and became completely incapacitaing. Since then it has steadily improved on 20 mg per day.

Now I feel almost 99% normal after six weeks treatment. My sex life has not been afected at all. I have had very few side effects, unless my deepening depression was a side effect.

However I am left with a sort of "hangover effect". I am not my old sharp thinking self. Otherwise I am fine.

Will this "hangover effect" go away with continued taking of the PROZAC?

Should I increase the dose as my doctor has suggested?

Should I decrease the dose?

My thanks to all who contribute to this site, it has been great reading and a comfort to myself who is not familiar with the curse of depression.
