Started taken my meds again

[Lvictoria81]

Ok so today starts my day of starting up Prozac again! Something gotta give. Not being able to sleep is absolutely the worst and the tremors that follow it are wicked. Anybody else have this?

[Autumnsa]

Do you take it at night or in the morning?

[Lvictoria81 in reply to Autumnsa]

I just started today and in the afternoon

[needtobehappy]

I've had the insomnia and some horrible anxiety if I'm tired, shaky and just generally feel awful, can't sit still but what to lay down and almost feel trapped in my head. Horrid . I also started fluoextine because of it, it's certainly helped me.... once I got passed the initial start up.... tried sertraline too but that made everything worse imo

[Lvictoria81 in reply to needtobehappy]

Yea I've been like this for a while it just seems like its getting worse. How has the fluoextine helped? How long did it take to start working?

[needtobehappy in reply to Lvictoria81]

It took 2 weeks could of been quicker but I went on them slowly as was to anxious to take one every day so I'm on 20mg but every other day. My anxiety did get worse to begin with but I think that may of been due to stopping setraline and then having a mix of the two. But a few weeks in its levelling out a bit better. I'm not as depressed, not as tired and generally more willing to speak to people ( though I still have off days) I'm feeling I need to start getting out more ( which is good to feel but it's slow progress) my middle of the night panics or whatever they are haven't bothered me ( yet) and I'm sleeping pretty well.... I've gone from either not being able to sleep or waking in the middle of the night to sleeping to much and now sleeping 7 hours which I'm sure is helping. I had insomnia first few nights and general tiredness for a week on starting.

Ok I was taking them for a week & I did nothing but cry. But my doctor begged me to take them again. So here I am taking them. I haven't left my house in over a month besides sitting outside. I suffer from health anxiety & im not seeing a therapist. Im still in the mix of that

[needtobehappy in reply to Lvictoria81]

Yes I did find start up to kind.... I'm a month in and things are brighter but like I say I take every other day as I found the start up effects to strong but wanted to keep trying. A couple of weeks should give you a good idea, setraline definitely made me realise they were not for me it's just finding the right one. I know exactly how you feel I haven't been good at leaving the house way easier to stay at home. It takes so much energy and feels weird out there when your not feeling as you should. Maybe the brain is just saying chill for a little while?! I have started to go out but don't think I would of without the med but only to small places like the shop . I have had health anxiety for as long as I can remember.... I mean literally from a very young age ( it went away for a while) and came back recently and I'm still trying to work out whether the med is just increased it for a while or if it's the symptoms that docs don't take serious because you have the words depression or anxiety on your records. I suppose only time will tell

[Lvictoria81 in reply to needtobehappy]

Well I know its only been 2 days on this but last night i was able to sleep ALL NIGHT! Now today I wole up refreshed and i felt like me so i decided to do things. I was out all day. Well I came home and now my depression is threw the roof. I feel really tired and my anxiety(health anxiety) is making jt worse. I tried sleeping but it just didn't work! Ive had health anxiety for awhile too. For ober 9 years. It was calm for a while until i got sick and docotrs werent listeing at all so I got really scared i was dying. Then they finally figured it out and I had to get surgery but now I'm scared that it's going to come back with what i went to the doctors for. I'm just so scared its something inside my brain!
