I'll be honest with you here. I was on prozac for 5 years (a long time, I know) and in the beginning it was amazing. It really helped the way I was feeling and made things clearer for me. However, I also lost most of my hair, gained a truck-load of weight and developed acne. These are just some of the side effects that I began to develop, but you need to know that these will not necessarily affect everyone.
As everyone has been saying, it's best to trust your doc if this is what they think is best for you, and keep an eye on your mood and body to see what happens. If any side effects you get are worse than the benefits mood-wise, then you should stop, but you might find that it is perfect for you and only has positive effects.
Good luck with whatever you decide xx
