ckoutlaw: You can buy generic prozac (fluoxetine) for something like 5 bucks a month from walmart. Obviously, you will need a prescription from your doctor. I wish I was your age when I went to the doc first. It takes guts, I know.

Fluoxetine has been used for over 20 years... With a history like that, it is probably much safer than one of the newer drugs. However, doctors do not get paid to promote cheap generics.

If you do take it, remember, it takes about 3 or 4 weeks to feel the affects. I think this discourages a lot of people because, when they are at their lowest and finally get to the doctor, they still have to wait several weeks to feel better. But, man, WHAT A LIFE CHANGER.
