I don't think this is accurate info about Prozac

It is not the strongest SSRI out there. I have done research and it appears to me that Paxil is the strongest. It has been linked to abnormal bleeding and also the most dangerous for pregnant women to take because it causes birth defects.

It is also the hardest SSRI to stop taking.

I don't mean to cause an arguement...but I don't think people should be afraid to take Prozac at all. I think it got the most attention because it was the most common AD used before all the new ones came out.

Just my two cents.

Here's two sites I saw that confirm some of this. Paxil and pregnancy paxil warning Paxil and prozac weaning off Paxil

Kree, I think you need to talk to your doctor, though. A medical doctor knows best and can get beyond the media hype. I know for me personally, Paxil was horrible and I don't feel "nuts" on Prozac.
