Could you please share your reactions with me?

Even though I tried hard to not take ANY Rx's, I finally asked the Dr if I could try Prozac once more, since it was the ONLY drug I have taken to which I didn't have a bad reaction. He was happy to.

Anyway, not such good luck in the 'no reactions' department this time... and my emotions are all over the place...Been SO down I just don't want to live (but have NO intentions of offing myself) Right now I feel worse than if I wasn't taking anything at all...but I KNOW I need to, because I want to be able to feel some sort of stability... Anyone have a rough start (or not) starting Prozac. I'm only starting on 10 mg...then Dr said he would up it to 20mg... Anyway, thank you.

Hi Betty how long have you been on the prozac for? It is known to potentially cause suicidal thoughts initially, but then these feelings should wear off in a few weeks...

[Anna2008]

I was on prozac for 9 years and it was really effective in alleviating my depression

[Anna2008]

I was on 20mg to start with then up to 40mg

Be grateful that you don't have any intentions of offing yourself and cling onto that fact while giving the Prozac a chance to work

Hi Betty, how are you getting on?

Sorry to take so long to respond... been sick most of this past week with "Whateveritisthatthedocscan'tfigureout" :/ Anyway, It seemed to help to take the Prozac in the evenings around 7pm or 8pm instead of in the mornings.. I 'think' that it is helping the depression some... and I wish it would get rid of the anxiety... Back to my wishing for that Magic Pill that would just like POOF! solve everything! But at least I haven't had a bad physical reactions to the Prozac for which I am grateful. Hard to believe I've only been on it since Sept 15...I do keep hoping for 'the best'... Thank you, ElReilly, for asking. Hope everyone has a good day.
