hi how are you did you start to come of prozac
i have an appt with my dr on friday. lowered from 40 mg to 30 mg and feeling terrible. Makes me wonder if i should be increasing the prozac dose. how are u doing on lexapro?
its never easy what to do, im only on day 6 from increasing nearly 3 weeks but im still struggling with anxiety and depression
hope it gets better for both of us
thanks nothing worse than waiting for a tablet to work, i feel so bad for my kids having to put up with me not being me. we will get there
totally understand. im only 25 but my boyfriend and family hasnt had me at nearly my best lately. I just want to be back to normal and be happy with everyone. With prozac ive had ups and downs but not consistently up enough
your get there keep telling yourself daily
ive tried so hard with prozac…every time i raise the dose i get some relief but its never consistent..i wonder if i should
keep raising it or try a different med. i guess ill see what my dr says on fri. ive heard lexapro is good for anxiety
maybe higher will work its a tough one and both medications are good for anxiety. they will probably say higher it as its already in your system but you got to go with how you feel.
yeah just scary to keep going higher
dont worry about that its better to feel yourself and enjoying your life. this is how i messed up i was on fluoxetine over 10 years no anxiety or depression no issues and happy. So i come off thinking im fine but a year later i started going down the anxiety route then here i am. I will stay on medication now , has lost me 6 months of happiness and still not well. wish i never come of
totally agree i more just meant im scared of side effects of going higher
yeah thats what i hate and escitalopram has been less for side effects , maybe go up 10 mg so side effects are less
yeah maybe. im so scared ill never be happy again
i feel the same but you have to keep going as i have to because it will happen and if you ever feel that low just reach out to someone just talk it does help just take one day at a time and focus on getting through that day. If your ever feeling bad message me sometimes its not as hard to talk to someone going through the same.
yes i hope we feel better soon
my dr is squeezing me in tomorrow morning instead .. lets see what happens
Hi , so you were on Prozac this time for 3 months , then went directly to Lexapro with no pause? And started with 5 mg Lexapro? How much Prozac were you on? Reason i ask these things is i been on just 10mg Prozac for the last few weeks and side effects have been not good to say the least , so the doc is switching me to Lexapro 10mg , straight from the prozac . Stop the prozac , start the Lexapro . Though i asked the pharmacist if i could break them in half and do 5mg to start , and he said i could , but he recommends not since i am going straight from Prozac. Just wondering what you think?
