this is a very sad story. i wish i could help as far as a contribution, but i have no money. i have been on prozac for many years now. i believe that being bipolar is my problem. i have tired going with no meds. that wound me up in the hospital. i have tried all of the classic bipolar meds, they made me very sick. im not sure what long term prozac can do, but, i will admit that i now have a temper that i never had before. i get very angry very fast, and let it be known. but, my daughter was murdered 10 years ago, so i have changed very much. i feel very stuck right now. my emotions run wild. they say its the bipolar. i cant even drink alcohol any more, afraid i might do something stupid. if pushed i feel extreme rage. i might just start researching prozac myself, as, really i am afraid!!!! i feel that i am loosing control of myself. thank you for letting me in on the proazc info. that letter really brought back the day my daughter was murdered. you see, i was also there, and alsmost killed. now i feel like i am a survivor, and i will do anything to survive. thanks all, cloe
