Parents put me on Prozac when I was ~5 years old. AMA!

When I was very young (between 4 and 6 years old), I was diagnosed with anxiety and OCD and put on Prozac. This was in the early 90s when much less was known about these drugs. I remained medicated until I was in my early 20s when I weaned off under the guidance of a doctor.

I'm in my late 30s now and since then, I haven't been on medication, or spoken to a doctor about mental health.

As an adult, I've realized how crazy it was growing up on SSRIs.
