Well, let me just say first, I'm an agony, a medical journalist, I've got a psychology degree,

I've written health books, and as a punter, I took Prozac by accident.

I suffered what is known for many women's postnatal depression after I had my second baby,

and I fought it for a long time, and I wanted to get kick started back to where I was before,

because I fell under a cloud. Well, I went went and I had a different drug from Prozac.

I had something which is actually newer. Which one?

Which was fine. But let's not kid ourselves audience. These are drugs. It are mind-altering

drugs. Every drug is a poison and every drug is a trade-off. You do not get something for nothing

in this world and they know this. and people who have vested interest in drug companies are going to tell you different. Let me tell you what happened to me. I went

on saroxet and there are side effects when you start while you get used to the dosage, okay?

In my case I was very drowsy, I got constipated. They don't tell you very much about this, they

play it down. Once I took the drug, I was okay to a certain extent. Okay, now this is pro-sex in the same group of substances as the one I took.

And I was willing to do a slight trade-off here. Okay, what happened was I had no emotional reactions to anything.

I wanted to cry at something on TV. I couldn't anymore. I couldn't cry.

Well, I'll tell you later about what else happened in the bedroom.

Hold on those symptoms of depression rather than actually the drug let me finish I went back to my doctor after two months and said well I feel a bit better can I sell it a few more months

okay fine he then gave me I didn't know I was on Prozac for months now he

thought he was giving me the same stuff I didn't know what I was on all I

knew was I felt twice as bad I went home and I felt I got very, very anxious.

I started feeling suicidal.

I was blubbering in everything on the television.

Now I could cry, but I was crying too much.
