Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi, I just posted the answer to this yesterday. Look in the archived messages and you will find my response. But, more immediately to your personal question - my observation is based on my own personal research is NO. I do not believe that anyone actually benefits from using Prozac or any other psychiatric drug. While there are many people who would argue with me, I would argue right back. These people THINK they are benefitting because they may temporarily feel better. But this is nothing more than a drug induced effect - similar to how cocaine can seem to make a person feel " better " . Why do you think people who use cocaine get addicted to it? Well... it's because cocaine makes them think they feel better while it goes about silently destroying their brain cells. The reason I put this information out on why people respond differently is because this information is based on clinical research and helps you to understand why some people don't go psychotic on these drugs, but others surely do. Hope that helps Just to repeat so there is no misunderstanding: I DO NOT AND NEVER WILL ADVOCATE THE USE OF ANY PSYCHIATRIC DRUG.
