Don
have to go out for a bit. Will post soon.
Did you have the thoughts before you started the medication? I have bad intrusive thoughts but it's one of the reasons I take Prozac. I got them after the depression they are hard to control and anxiety makes them much worse. It feels like your mind won't stop and is going crazy.
Yes I had them before the meds and they do make me feel like I'm going crazy what's your thoughts?
I have crazy thoughts. I have awful sucidial thoughts which drive me crazy because I don't want to die or do anything like that. I also have awful thoughts of hurting loved ones. I'm pregnant and I'm scared of my depression getting worse after the birth postpartum. I would never hurt anyone and I think my anxiety makes me have the thoughts because it's a fear. Anything bad that can happen I think it. Even if it's someone else hurting my loved ones.
I feel for you mine R bad but not that bad have u tried cbt ? How long have u had them? Does the prozac help them?
I started getting them after a traumatic miscarriage 2 years ago. I took Prozac and they went away within 2 months. I've been good for 2 years and then had another miscarriage and they started again about 4 months ago.
This time on the Prozac I have been on it four months and have my random days that upset me but for the most part it has been helping but taking longer but I'm also only taking 5 mg. what are your thoughts of?
Sounds like you've had a bad time it's no wonder you feel down hope all goes well for u i thought I was having a bad time but it's nothing to yours if u ever need to talk just drop me a massage it's nice to know you got rid of them before you will do it again
Thank you I hope so soon it's miserable having thoughts you don't want in your head. It makes me feel like a monster. Before I started the Prozac I took Celexa and it made them 100 x worse. I tried one pill of sertraline and it made me have a neck ache and leg aches. Did you have any of that? The doc then told me to start back the Prozac and I would probably be better if I upped it because normal dose is 20mg but I'm pregnant and I'm scared it will effect the baby so I only that 5mg
Mines about what people are thinking about me like do they think I'm down and depressed,can they see that I've got anxiety,do work want to get rid of me ,it's all thoughts about what other people think of me
Oh I wish I had that instead
When I started sertraline the first two week were realy bad then it gets a bit better then when u up its the same again but not as bad ive tried lots of ads with no luck then tried with out anything but got worse so I just stuck with it this time 5 weeks on 50mg now i
On my 7th day at 100mg still need to give it time to settle down can't wait to start thinking normal again 🙏 before I started them I couldn't sleep but sleeping a lot better now
Prayers you get better soon!!
Many thanks 🙏 prayers to you hope all goes well
I did have such negative thoughts similar to you don. I went back to doctor after 4 weeks and he explained that the first thing the sertraline does is makes the depression better but ramps up the anxiety until it levels out.
i did a test thing on Facebook re behaviour etc and it came back cool as a cucumber lol. I have no negative thoughts anymore in fact I think about what I used to think and can't believe it ..
Thanks thats very helpful how long did it take for your negative thought to stop ?
