If you don't think mental or emotional illnesses are true illnesses, then you need to educate yourself. Prozac is used a lot because it's off patent, being the first SSRI, so it's cheap. But it doesn't target direct illnesses the way so many of the other SSRI's do. For panic attacks, Paxil usually works better. Personally I took Zoloft for depression and found it very effective for that. I had some trouble reaching orgasm while on it, meaning it took longer than otherwise, but before it I had zero sex drive. And a lowered libido due to mental illness will interfere with ability to orgasm. However many medications stay in the body for over six weeks including most of the SSRI's. So if before you were on the Prozac you didn't have these difficulties and now you do, probably it is the Prozac. It is not a good idea to suddenly quit any medication without speaking to the doctor first. Because with some of them, doing so abruptly instead of tapering down causes major side effects. As far as the Prozac not working, CALL YOUR DOCTOR! Don't just leave the illness untreated. Call and explain what it isn't doing, what the side effects are and ask to be switched to something different. And give them a six week trial to get fully into the system before deciding it isn't working.
