New Meds :}

[Mindfulnessxo]

Hello everyone!

So I finally got to see my new psychiatrist and she was extremely helpful and understanding!

She ended up keeping me on the same meds I was previously on Before my pregnancy which are Alprazolam 1mg and Prozac 10mg.

I haven’t really started the Prozac and it’s been a week now 🙄 I know I should! But I get so bad with the health anxiety I feel like it will make me feel some type of way and I’ll freak out!

So far I’ve only had ONE BAD BAD VERY BAD panic attack. Which was yesterday I was DRIVING!!!!! with my 6month old 😕 I was on my way to pick up my 4 yr old from preK and I felt my heart beat so HARD AND FAST it wouldn’t relax no matter what I did!

I tried and tried to breathe and Calm the Pacing down but I thought OMG it isn’t working!

it’s a heart attack! This is it this is the one panic that is going to Kill me! So I said......

And about 30mins later My Xanax kicked in and I went to my husband job to Pick him up too. I was so shaken up I don’t ever want to feel like that again.

But yup other then that I’m back on meds guys! 😁

Prozac worked wonders for me. Took a good few weeks but it really helped.

Does it work with like the weird thoughts and the health anxiety? Sometimes I’m not anxious but I will be thinking the most doom and gloom things and I don’t know how to stop that

Trust me take it a short time,Its VERY addictive and harder to quit than heroin or alcohol

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to Hkakbkjk]

Oh I know I’m very familiar with the med a surprisingly I’ve never been addicted and I just have them for emergency panic only

[Hkakbkjk in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

Yes but like alcohol you need more and more

Why would you take the Xanax but be afraid of the Prozac? Just curious. The goal is to have the anti depressant be in first position once you reach the level.

You were on the Prozac before, did it make you freak out?

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes! I was pregnant and I would feel weird and shaky for no reason but I had no Xanax cuz Ofcourse pregnancy I’m very familiar with the alrazolam because I was on it for a few years and Prozac I was on it for only 2 months before I gave birth and after that never been on it till now

[Dolphin14 in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

Oh ok

So you never really experienced the Prozac. I understand.

The choice is yours of course. But getting the anti depressant on board is important.

Congratulation on your baby

Thank you! I actually started the prozac this morning so let’s see how it goes from here

[Dolphin14 in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

Ok good luck

Prozac and Abilify are working for me. The psychiatrist put me on Xanax while the other meds kicked in. Will be weaning off of that after a longer period of stability. It hasn’t been that long since my breakdown.

[Mindfulnessxo in reply to LilyAnnepuppy]

Yea that’s what my doctor wants she wants me to take the Xanax and Prozac and then once Prozac kicks in I should be good to wean off xanax

[LilyAnnepuppy in reply to Mindfulnessxo]

I hate having to take meds, but really hated the mental breakdown symptoms. And am very happy to be feeling better. Hope you get to feel better soon.

Thank you glad your doing well
