prozac

About a week ago I finally decided to begin a course on prozac, as it got to the point where I was so desperate I was willing to try anything, despite my slight fear of prescription drugs. Obviously, I am yet to feel any beneficial effects from the drug, as it has only been a week, but I was just wondering if any of you guys had taken prozac, and how it worked for you (dosage, side-effects etc), especially regarding panic disorder. I would have gone for the Linden method, but have no money to spare at all as I've been off work for about six weeks (meant to be back on Monday! argh!) and have just had to put a deposit down on a house as I'm moving across town in two weeks. I really need to be back on my feet pretty damn soon as it's going to be a stressful month so any responses would be really appreciated!

Thanks!
