A member asked:
Is it possible to suffer from personality changes while on prozac (fluoxetine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes -- not suffering: Soon after Prozac (fluoxetine) came out, psychiatrist peter kramer published a book titled "listening to prozac (fluoxetine)." in it he recounted stories of patients who had been depressed, anxious, and socially withdrawn before prozac (fluoxetine), but who bloomed and became open, charismatic, calm and successful after. They described themselves as not only not depressed, but "better than well" -- profound personality shift.
