INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Prozac works by inhibiting how receptors in your brain reabsorb (or "reuptake") the neurotransmitter serotonin. Serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical "messenger" (neurotransmitter) that helps maintain mood balance. Research suggests that a deficit of serotonin is a contributing factor in clinical depression. Prozac helps keep your receptors from reabsorbing too much serotonin, thereby increasing the amount available to your body. Prozac is an SSRI because it's "selective." It seems to primarily operate on serotonin and not any of the other neurotransmitters that are also partially responsible for mood. Prozac can cause some side effects. Many of these will be mild or go away after four to five weeks. You should talk with your doctor if you have severe side effects or symptoms, or if they do not go away. Possible side effects include: Nervousness Nausea Dry mouth Sore throat Drowsiness Weakness Uncontrollable shaking Loss of appetite Weight loss Changes in sex drive or function Excessive sweating In some cases, Prozac may cause side effects that must be attended to immediately. Prozac has been known to increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts, especially in people under the age of 24. If you experience thoughts about or consider plans to harm or kill yourself, seek immediate medical attention. You should also call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: New or worsening depression Extreme feelings of worry, agitation, or panic Aggressive behavior or irritability Acting without thinking Severe restlessness Feelings of frenzied, abnormal excitement Prozac is generally an effective antidepressant for most people. However, it may not work with every person's brain, or neurochemistry. If you continue to experience any of the following after taking Prozac, talk with your doctor. These could be signs that your depression or disorder is not being adequately managed by the medication. You are experiencing severe or continuous side effects (mentioned above) You continue to feel loss of interest in pleasurable activities or hobbies Your fatigue does not improve Your sleep is disturbed (insomnia, excessive sleeping) You continue to have difficulty concentrating You experience changes in appetite You experience physical aches and pains Because antidepressants alter your brain chemistry, discontinuing them without medical supervision can cause serious symptoms. Longer-acting medications, such as Prozac, usually have fewer discontinuation symptoms. However, you may still experience side effects such as: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or cramping Sleep issues, such as insomnia or nightmares Balance issues, such as dizziness or lightheadedness Sensory or movement issues, such as numbness, tingling, tremors, and lack of physical coordination Feelings of irritability, agitation, or anxiety Antidepressants need to be discontinued slowly over a period of time by gradually reducing the dose. This is known as "tapering." Tapering can take weeks or months, depending on the antidepressant, how long you have taken it, your dosage, and your symptoms. Your doctor will determine the best way for you to taper Prozac. You may experience a relapse of depressive symptoms once you have stopped taking Prozac. To distinguish between discontinuation symptoms and a relapse, think about when the symptoms start, how long they last, and what type they are. Discontinuation symptoms usually develop quickly. They will usually improve over one to two weeks. They will often include more physical complaints, such as nausea or aches and pains. Relapse symptoms gradually develop after two to three weeks. They generally worsen over two to four weeks. If any symptom continues to last more than a month, consult your doctor.

SUMMARY: Learn how Prozac works. Consider your side effects. Recognize emergency side effects. Think about whether Prozac is controlling your symptoms. Understand the dangers of discontinuing antidepressants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Call the local branch of your state Human Service Department and ask to speak to a case worker. Briefly explain that you want to schedule an appointment to apply for TANF and work with the case worker to find the first available date for your appointment. This department may also be called "Human Services," "Family Services," or "Adult and Family Services." You can always find the local branch by looking in the government pages section of a local phone book. Alternatively, you could also look online. When you speak to the case worker, he or she should give you a list of any documents that may be required for your appointment. Your case worker should tell you about the documents you need, but they will usually include proof of income, official photo identification, and proof of residency. You may also be asked to prove that you have children who meet TANF guidelines. You will usually need a driver's license or other state-issued form of ID, but if you cannot provide one, a birth certificate or Social Security card may be enough. Check with your case worker if you do not have state-issued ID. Proof of residency can usually be provided by bringing recent utility bills. You may be asked to bring birth certificates or school transcripts to prove the status of your children. If at all possible, access the Department of Health and Human Services website for your state and print out the forms and official application beforehand. Fill out your paperwork to the best of your ability before you show up to your appointment to speed things along. If you do not have access to the Internet or to a printer, you can ask your case worker where you can obtain these forms in advance. Do not worry if you cannot fill out the forms completely before you arrive. If you have any questions, you should be able to ask your case worker and fill in any related information after you have a clear understanding of the information being requested. Show up to your appointment on time and bring all required documents and forms. Your case worker will be able to answer any questions you have during this time and will review your documentation and paperwork to determine if you are eligible and how much aid you are eligible to receive. Your case worker may finish the process by the end of the appointment, but oftentimes, you will be contacted within a few days to a few weeks with the news. While on TANF, you will be expected to either work or engage in work-related activities. Recipients must begin work no later than two years from the start of their TANF application and acceptance. Employment must consist of 30 hours per week or more or 20 hours per week if there is a child in the household under the age of 6. There are nine core work activities that can be used to satisfy the work requirement: unsubsidized employment, subsidized private employment, subsidized public employment, job search and job readiness, community service, on-the-job training, work experience, vocational educational training, and caring for a child of a recipient in community service. There are also three supplemental work activities that can be used of the nine core activities have been met: job skills training directly related to employment, education directly related to employment, or completion of a secondary school program. You can only receive 60 months, at most, of TANF assistance within your lifetime. With most states, however, TANF benefits you receive as a child do not count toward the 60 months you can receive as an adult. This can vary by state, however, so be sure to check your state's guidelines.

SUMMARY: Schedule an appointment with your local Human Service Department. Bring any necessary documentation. Fill out an application. Go to your appointment and wait for the news. Meet ongoing work requirements. Prepare for when your benefits expire.
