Hmm well from personal experience, when I was on Prozac in '97, I just found I was just full of energy (so much I couldn't sleep) and was zooming around not being able to concentrate (not good considering it was given to me to help me get through my final year of Secondary school exams )

Personally from what I hear from friends / acquantances Doctors just proscribe prozac because their is little else then can do in the short term - Counselling takes months and they don't want people to do something silly in the meanwhile.
Also remember that a lot of people that get this drug are very depressed and so given that they are down and then boosted up, the cycle of extreme ups and downs probably doesn't do anybody's mindset a great deal of good.
