I am a 41 year old female, my "shrink" put me on 20mg. prozac/day also 1mg ativan twice a day. Is this bad? I feel better and have been on it for approx 17 months. What do you recommend?

I did a personality report on a book of a personal account of a person's experience with Prozac. "Prozac Diary" by Lauren Slater. This may help make you aware of the effects of Prozac. The main idea of the account is the dependence she felt on the drug and the steps she took upon herself to fix them. She felt almost immediate positive effects. I agree with alhome4u that it is important to report to your doctor on a regular basis, especially if there is anything you are uncomfortable with. I don't think you have anything to worry about, as long as you are feeling better. I'm glad to hear that.
