I'm on 60 mg, but can get away from 40 sometimes, but I take 60 just to be on the safe side and not have the rare "off-day." When you're happy, feeling "bad" isn't acceptable and there will be an obvious difference. And yes, I feel like myself taking the drug. I'm still have my natural personality, I just don't have the "Everyone hates me, no girl will ever like me, everything sucks" attitude.
Without the pills, I would be like you, only with a better self-image and not as much complaining, but I'd feel that hopeless.
Also, I'm not happy as in elated, I'm more happy as in "normal." Kind of like Faith said, I'm more comfortable with who I really am...being in the house and I'm much more pleasurable to be around to my family. More importantly, even when I feel "bad" it isn't bad the way you might feel right now, it's "bad" as in just a normal person's bad mood.
This would also help you get a girlfriend because you'd be nicer to be around. I also notice that I'm more outgoing on the medicine when I choose to be.
That's not what I felt at all over the 1 1/2 years I was on the drug. I felt happier, yes, but that kind of happiness for no reason at all just feels unnatural to me. Same thing with being outgoing: I would feel as though the drug was making me do things against my will. And making me
enjoy things against my will... that's the real scary part. I ended up going to a school dance early senior year, and I actually
liked it... if I go on Prozac now, I would probably start to like drinking... *shudder*
