When I was a teen I was put on Prozac because I threatened to commit suicide.
The drug absolutely destroyed me. Within a few days of taking it, I was in a bizarre state of delirium where I would sleep something like 18 hours a day. When I wasn't asleep I would gnash my teeth at my parents. At school I would lash out at my classmates and randomly punch the walls of my classroom. I was taken off the drug after about five days but I didn't fully recover.
To this day, my emotions are severely blunted. I still have complete anhedonia and avolition. I can go on a roller coaster and feel not a shred of an adrenaline rush. Nothing. I struggle maintaining relationships with people because I have no innate "desire" to do so.
The drug is absolutely evil and should never be given to minors.
