Prozac ... putting off taking it ... right or wrong

[travellingtime]

Found myself at he GPs in a state the other day, not been sleeping or eating for a week, massively anxious, and low. Unable to really pinpoint why. nothing major has changed in my life recently
lovely dh, though obviously like most, maddening at times. 2 x ds who are wonderful, healthy and happy, good (though full on) job and nice house for us all to live in. yet, i seem to have hit some kind of wall
all the indications to me(and gp) were that i was depressed.
so, prescription for flux, whatever it is called which i believe is actually prozac and some sleeping pills
have taken sleeping pill last 2 nights and had a great sleep but this morning woken up and feel really teary and low.
my dh is being amazing and lovely and wants to know what he can do to help me and accepts that if its the end of the road for us we will do our best to make it as amicable as poss for the kids
i;m concerned if i take the AD, it might mask how i am feeling adn i therefore dont really deal with whatever it is is that is making me feel like this.
any advice from anyone...?
Am also considering councilling but not sure whether that shoudl be me on my own or marriage guidance

Counselling might help you work out what the problem is although it can take a long time to get an end result (8 sessions). From what some others have said on here though it can be worth while. I am going through counselling myself and have not reached the end of it yet.
I am surprised your GP didn't recommend counselling before AD's as mine was pretty sure that's what I should do. However, I have been down for such a long time the doc decided it was time to start AD's.(I get them today, same type as you).

I can't tell you what will be right for you. That is for you or your GP to decide.

Hope it turns out well. x

GP did mention councelling and i have another appt next week with him so perhaps he might raise it again.
my dh thinks i shouldnt take the ADs but he is often reluctant to take any meds.

Fluoxetine (prozac) won't mask your feelings... I wish it did! :) It will just make them less overwhelming so you can feel strong enough to work on the underlying issues. People sometimes talk about ADs as if they turn you into some kind of emotionally numb zombie, but that is not the case - at least it hasn't been for me or anybody I've ever spoken to. It's like if you were recovering from a serious injury... mild painkillers wouldn't completely mask the pain, but they might make it bearable enough for you to be able to begin physio and start getting back to normal.
