I'm going to give a response before I read the response of others. I was put on 40mg of Prozac by the head of the rehab dept on approx day six of TM. I had no idea that my life was changing, I thought I would be given a miracle drug and I'd be back to work in a few weeks. He started me on Prozac after I answered his how do you feel question with a blank stare out the window. Then I answered, I have been semi claustophobic for years and now I'm stuck in a body that won't let me out. He said I stated it the best he'd heared in a long time. I wasn't depressed or scared, I was angry at my own body. This doctor knew I was tumbling into a dark abyss from the shock my body had going through. Patti - Michigan
