Ahhhhh

Hey y’all new to this but I’m really seeking some support. I recently got onto some medication and the first one made me really sick (Effexor) and had instilled in me that all these medications won’t work and will make me fee awful and sick. I’ve been to the ER three times in the past week but every time it’s just been my anxiety giving me physical symptoms. I feel like I’m gonna be stuck feeling uncomfortable and sick for the rest of my life and it really scares me. Right now I’m on 10 mg of Prozac and I’m terrified of waking up at night really nauseous and sick and I anticipate feeling this way all day, almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. Will I get better or am I stuck this way forever 😭

My mom and aunt both use prozac and do very well! Like all of these they all have those side effects in the beginning. As long as you can tolerate it for a few weeks it soon can get better. We can do this together!

Thank you for the encouraging words!

I also know prozac is similar to Zoloft so hopefully since you did well on Zoloft you’ll do well with the Prozac ! You can message me anytime if you need to talk. Your definitely not alone.

I really hope so I just need to get past this weird phase I suppose. I have very fatalistic thinking and I tend to dwell on how I’m feeling amplifying everything.

[Aguglielmo986 in reply to Livvyloo19]

I’m the exact same way. I’ve been like that for every little thing I’ve felt since starting the Zoloft 2 weeks ago.

Well that’s kinda nice to hear haha it’s exhausting 😒 the only time I feel relief is when I’m sleeping and I keep on thinking I’m gonna be stuck feeling this way forever and it’s hard to break out of that cycle even though I know it is purely just anxiety

[Livvyloo19]

Thank you so much! That gives me hope that I will feel better and get out of this funk. I’ll check back in every couple days about how I’m feeling! Thanks for the support it means the world

The Prozac is what helped me out the best. Give it a chance. I’m sure you will be feeling better soon.
