Hey there,

I have been on Prozac for a LONG time. I am at 80 MG. They tried to get
me off it onces to start something else, but the withdraw symtoms were
really rather bad. It seems that the addiction factor was hidden when
the test results were give to the FDA from what I have heard.

It was so bad that my head would hear a popping sound, and I was very
uneasy all the time. When I was told to go back on it, they went away.

So, I suppose that I am addicted. Thats not a very good feeling.
