Prozac
Result!! I got prescribed Prozac today. I just hope it works. He's put me on 20mg even though I practically begged him for the highest dose and said that the placebo effect wouldn't even work on me cos I didn't think 20mg would do anything! Eventually I relented though when he said most folk start off on 20mg.
Anyway, I'm pleased. I haven't tried this before so fingers crossed. I dunno if this belongs here or not - it's just good news. |

Re: Prozac
I feel stupid now for posting in this section, mind you, you could congratulate me on my perseverance. Oh and on my skill and manipulation for the way I casually dropped the word 'prozac' into the conversation so the psych thought it was all his idea...ha HA!
Aye he said there'd be special effects or something....but I never get these so I should be cool. Wooooooooo!!! |

Re: Prozac
Good news then, anti depressents are probably all that's keeping me from self harming at the moment so they should help take the edge off for you too.

Re: Prozac
I am so glad you have made a post like this!, I tried 'citalopram' twice and it did nothing but make me go crazy!, seriously if that med disagrees with you stop taking it (after giving it a few weeks to settle the initial side effects of course!).
Anyway, back onto prozac, I am feeling so low lately, and recent events in my care have made things worse, I do believe I may need an anti-depressant, as I am unable to shake the low points I experience and they hang around for weeks. Someone my sister knows took prozac, after a recommendation from another friend, they are a tried and well tested drug, and I believe could help, my sisters friend did not experience any side effects!, now that has to be worth a try I thought, then I saw this post and I think my mind is made up! . The sleep problem you are having maybe just worry, you know, waiting for 'the effects' (as I do subconsiously), and believe it or not you may just be excited that this could work, and make all your dreams come true!, and I hope it does! |

Re: Prozac
No
I did try mentally getting up but I was forcing myself to think, focus and concentrate so much it was keeping me awake. I am going to try and get to bed before 12 tonight and read a book and take a cup of horlicks with me. How lovely does that sound?!! I just hope I can do it. Can we have a yawning smiley? |

I've been on loads of other SSRIs before and I haven't had sleep disturbance as a side effect from any of them so this is quite new to me. Don't be put off by the side effects though, like you say not everyone is affected by them. I never have been, until now. I hope it is only short term or I'll end up going mad! |

Good point re sleeplessness. I never thought of that. Hmm...if this is the only SSRI I've had a side effect from I wonder if that means it's going to be the one that works. I'm quite optimistic now, thanks Jazz |

Re: Prozac
Aw thanks Blue Skies for your concern
I'm feeling up and down still. Although I have been rather normal at work today and relaxed and just my real self rather than acting normal if you know what I mean. I think they are having an effect definitely. I was trying to work out how long I'd been on them as well today, so cheers for that too! |
