As an adult, Prozac for me has been life changing and for the better. After suffering from anxiety and depression since childhood I have been able to get a new lease on life in my 40s. It is a drug that needs to be respected though, start on the lowest dose and give it months to settle. Find a doctor you trust and that will take time to discuss your situation. I feel that often this class of drugs is often prescribed without careful consideration and people are ramped up to higher dosages faster than they should be by doctors who are rushing to see the next patient.
