I think that's the best thing ever! (Remind me of this when they decide 20 years from now all the long-term effects it has!)

My sister was on Prozac years ago and it made her a completely different person...and in a good way. Her mood was so much better, a lot less bitchy. She's been off for several years now, and I don't think she needs them because she's not depressed...but sometimes I'd still like to slip her one to lighten her mood!
And yeah, Ambien is awesome! I end up sleeping all day on post-call days and then can't fall asleep at night and run the risk of jacking up my sleep pattern. So I take an Ambien that night and sleep through the night and am good to go...until the next call day!
