Hi teemarie...is it A/D your on ? I know when you first start taking them you can feel strange for the first week or so...like a floating sensation .not everyone gets them but I think most people feel a little strange..stick with them..after 3/4 weeks you will feelso much better. Good luck xx

[teemarie in reply to Hidden]

yes, it is tiring

[Hidden]

Hello

From what you are saying because you feel like you are about to be anxious but something just about stops it from happening sounds like the meds are starting to work and that is why you are getting this feeling , strange feeling I know because we are used to feeling that anxiety coming on and then it happening

How long have you been on them now ?

Maybe give it a little while longer and if you still feel that the possible side effects you maybe getting are to much , go back and see your Doctor

Take Care x

today is day two. i woke up very depressed and crying. that is not like me. i am thinking my dose may be too high? i dont know but i cant take two more weeks of this.

[Hidden in reply to teemarie]

Erm , two days is not very long , the Doctor may say you need to try them for longer , if you feel two weeks is to long how about maybe saying ok I will give it one week if I am still feeling like this then I will go back x

[teemarie in reply to Hidden]

its like as soon as i take a pill i feel better and thats not normal.

[Hidden in reply to teemarie]

It is with anxiety because anxiety can be like mind over matter if you know what I mean , it tricks us in thinking sometimes I have taken something now I feel better x

[teemarie in reply to Hidden]

Yea but feeling depressed?! Im not depressed.

[Hidden in reply to teemarie]

I understand what you mean , I have had moments like that before where have felt depressed and like though O no I don't need that , anxiety I know I have suffered with but not depression on top ! But sometimes I think we can all feel depressed from time to time but the difference the way I see it and someone that does suffer with depression may say different as I am not an expert with depression but when you are clinically depressed , it goes on months and years and nothing can bring you out of it

I would be shocked to think just 2 days on the meds could make you depressed , I am wondering if you were feeling a little down already and of course because you are taking the meds you mind has related to that must be the problem ? if it persists of course you need to see the Doctor but maybe you are having a few days of feeling low like we all experience and yes I have cried on those days to

I really hope this all settles down in a few more days x

[teemarie in reply to Hidden]

like i have no emotion. i dont laugh. i dont cry. i dont do anything. i really dont like being on it and im scared if i stay on it i will get worse later on down the road. i needed help with my anxiety not something to make me feel depressed or hopeless. im so scared i will lose my kids. i have no energy, ill have bursts of energy then just stay in bed. i feel high.

I felt the same way before i just had started my meds and after you get used to them,you will feel so much better.anxiety actually can cause depression too.bc you stay so worked up and then you start to feel hopeless and just plum terrible.bc you keep worrying thinking everythings not gonna be alright.but it will,it just takes time.its something we have to learn to cope with and try not to worry about it.i know its easier said than done but if we stop worrying then eventually everything will get better.it does take time but you will be back on track before you know it.i wish u the best of luck and i hope you get to feeling better soon!

[Hidden in reply to teemarie]

I know this is how severe anxiety can make us feel and the more we fear how we are feeling the worse we physically feel

Here in the UK no one gets their children taken away from them because they are suffering with anxiety but they get support , I hope that is the same for you

If you really feel so strongly that these meds are not for you and it is making you worse then please speak with your Doctor , look at therapy instead that will also help you x

[teemarie]

They told me to stop taking it.

[Agora1 in reply to teemarie]

I'm glad your doctor told you to stop. I think your anxiety level will also go down knowing that this drug will no longer be a concern for you. xx

[teemarie]

I hope so, Im just scared it will open a can of worms for me

[Agora1 in reply to teemarie]

Like what teemarie? Having to try other meds?

If you are worried about Prozac opening a can of worms for you, it's over now. You stopped it.

[teemarie]

Yea but I still have to deal with the effects today. And tomorrow. The depression is what scares me.

[Agora1 in reply to teemarie]

You are not going to go into a deeper depression if it was caused by the Prozac because there won't be enough left in your system to cause any disturbance. Just be glad you got permission to stop it from your doctor. Many people do things on their own. When was your last pill?

[teemarie]

Today and now I feel depressed again
