I was a different person while I was taking Prozac. I was a zombie. I would sit and stare. I was completely without emotions. If you can only realize how this feels, not to be able to laugh or cry and not know why. I didn't have the patience to help my children with their homework or the energy to play a game with them like I usually do. But I didn't care. I only knew that I did not want to be around anyone, and that included my family... .

Eli Lilly calls Prozac the wonder drug, and I wonder why. Thinking back on how this drug affected me, does a wonder drug rob you of a conscience? Does a wonder drug make you forget the difference between right and wrong? I no longer wonder about this so-called wonder drug; I now know that I wouldn't be here today if I continued taking this killer drug... .

I tried to commit suicide in front of my five children. I didn't know what I was doing and don't remember exactly what happened. All I know is that my husband took the gun away from me and my children were looking in from the other room.

What would have happened if these children had seen their mother commit suicide? I was only put on it for weight loss—weight loss. Is it worth it for my children to be motherless today because of a drug that has no side effects, I was told—had no side effects —but yet it brought me to the brink of holding a gun to my head and almost killing myself.
