Re: prozac update....to Grace

[Guest guest]

I hope it works too. I just can't seem to get

connected to anything right now. Even the list. I

have to motivate myself to get on line. Once I'm on

I'm fine. But just to do it. I have really been

worried about Ebony lately and now this. Dh was

really kinda pissy about the whole sex drive thing.

But I hope it works out. And if I have to fake it

sometimes....Oh well. LOL

I'd rather fake than go nuts.

And so would you LOL.

I know how you feel, I really do. I hope this works for you, and if it

doesn't, I do hope your doc tries some other things on you. Really, it's

like.... finding a reason to smile again.

Like you, I feel like i have a good life. I never wanted for much - just a

family, a home, and enough to support those things. And we do. But

before - all I could think was that the family I got was all F%%^$# up, and

the home I got was a F6%^#% & # up, and financial, emotional or whatever

support was ALL HOGWASH.

It's like I could not step back and appreciate, even when the good things

happened, even when I wasn't having a breakdown.

The other day, I took my meds at 6 AM. Then the next day, I forgot to take

my meds for the first time. So it was almost 2 days since taking meds, and

would you believe it - - I was a screaming banchee again by 7 PM? I wasn't

in a crying fit, but the RAGE suddenly creeped back and I was like

" WHOA! " ..... For a moment, I was so dismayed that even Prozac was not going

to help, but then I remembered that I had not taken my meds that day....and

RAN for the medicine cabinet.

It's disturbing to find out that I am still the same ugly self under the

meds.... but it is nice to know they help.

I notice absolutely no difference in my sex drive though, FWIW. It still

ain't there, LOL.

Tamara,

Remember, even if the increase in Prozac doesn't do it for you, there are a

lot of different types out there and it may be just a matter of trying a

different one. For me, the first I tried was 1/2 dose of Effexor and it

worked. I still only take 3/4 of the minimum normal dose, and I've been

taking it since last May.

Good luck!
