This is a Survivor-Survivor story, that is to say a relative of a survivor dated 8/30/97.

Bill, i don't know for sure if u want more storie's or not, but please feel free to use mine. I just read Story 1 and was hoping for another, but didn't see any. I have done alot of reseach on Prozac and really blown away with what i have found. This man is NOT by no mean's alone. We need to hear from each other, just to know we are not crazy and not alone.

I have been married for 12 year's and was to be for a life time, was. Thank's to Prozac that has all changed and therefore changed my life for ever. My husband, was in recovery for 6 yr's (Drug and Alcoholism), good man, honest, hard working, faithful, and i loved him very much. Right at 3 1/2 yr's ago he went to the doctor for depression, alway's seem to fight it. Prozac came into your life, life for us changed. It seemed to work ok for bout 6 month's and then i started slowly seeing change's. Anger was the first to show up, then a pulling away from me and from other's, isolating, not wanting to be touched, then came blame, i was and have been blamed for everything that has ever went wrong, all this and much more only got worse with time. Got to where he didn't sleep, hasn't slept with me for alittle more than a year now. That's bout the time we got on-line, by this time he had quit work, bout 1 1/2 yr. now. With the net, my husband has stayed on the computer, will be a year in Oct. Been the hardest time in my life and i know there are other's who have been through the same. Not long after getting on-line, He wanted me to have sex with other men, so he could watch, this was the only thing that would save our marriage, according to him. When this wouldn't happen, He said he was going to sleep with other women, all this time, he doesn't want a divorce, want's to stay married. I have worked and paid phone bill's where he has been on the phone with women, in the middle of the night, sometime's for 2 and 3 hour's, phone bill's while i'm at work, some of these where collect. He has took off for day's and week's at a time, has spent time with these women. We have been together off and on for the past year, but are now going our different way's. I stayed a year, because i knew it was Prozac induce, and i felt 12 yr's was worth trying, but enough is enough. The insanity of living with something like this can be very devastating on a person. That's what it is you know, INSANITY. Your the one that feel's crazy, cause they are ok, their on the Wonder Drug, i was told all this sex stuff was just fantasy, maybe, but going and meeting and spending time with someone is not, it's reality. I would see things or read things (yes, i broke into his s/n) and he would tell me what i seen, was really not what i had seen. INSANITY! I know this story sound's far-fetched, but this is what has happen in my life, their are those who have seen it with their own eye's, so it's not just my word's. Prozac, is a Wonder Drug alright, it leave you wondering if you can ever be any where near the have way stable person you once where. As i said feel free to use this if you would like, maybe it can help someone else.

Thank you,
