Update on prozac

6 Replies

I went to the crisis center last Tuesday because that prozac made me feel worse, not even the slightest bit better with anything.

I knew I should not have been feeling worse, even with the side effects my depression and anxiety grew out of control

I am now day 4 on effexor and zyprexa and I'm starting to feel a little better.

Out of bed and did laundry and cleaned my room.

Finally getting my appetite back too.

I just wanted to let people know, you should not feel more depressed or anxious 20 days after starting an anti depressant.

I can't believe I went through all that but I knew in my ♥️ that something was not right, prozac was not for me.

Thank you all for caring about me in my moment of pure agony. xx♥️

Prozac was not right for me either.There is a genetic test that will give your doctor an idea of the medications that may work for you. I took the test, but have not tried any of the medications the test suggested yet. I am taking a minimal dose alprazolam, which works for me,

I heard of the tests. If this combo doesn't work out in the end, I will get that test.I am happy to hear that you're taking something that works for you. I still wake up a bit shaky, but other than that I am hopeful. 😊
