hi
i have just started taking prozac yesterday. i have tried in the past other antidepressants and none of them are suitable except duloxetine, which i am not willing to go back on because of the withdrawal when you come off it, it was horrendous.
i was on 10mg of prozac for 2 years, it just seemed to take the edge off the anxiety but i do realise it wasn't a therapeutic dose. i have been struggling a lot lately, and the doc said to increase it now to 20. since yesterday i have taken 20, and have had 2 doses now. i feel awful. i feel really down - a bit more down than before. i feel no motivation to do anything, im just lazing about. i already have chronic fatigue, and that is part of the reason i am depressed, so obviously something that is going to make that worse is no good.
does anyone have experience of this getting better? how long do i wait this out for? i don't even feel like talking to my dad on the phone, he phoned and i just missed the call. i can't be bothered with anything. i have today and tomorrow to myself and then my 3 year old dd comes back from my exes - i really can't afford to be like this. if i know its going to lift, i could pull through. but if this is likely to remain, i would be better just stopping the pill now. thanks
