You don’t understand. “I won’t eat that because I feel full” _is not something that I ever think, ever_. Instead, at best I’ve only ever been able to think “I really shouldn’t eat that because I’m full but oh god nom nom nom.”

That’s how Prozac was for me. Unfortunately, it also gave me migraines. I’m taking Zoloft now, which has been great for my depression, but doesn’t do anything for the total lack of feelings of satiety I’ve always dealt with.

Anyway, I’m happy this is working out for you! I hope the positive effects last a long time.

It made me psychotic. My doctor was disappointed: he thought it made me less depressed. Unfortunately, less depressed but locked up is not a real improvement, so we went for something less effective.
