so i just send dh out to pick up a few things, milk, salad for tea and oh yes prozac!

well fluoxetine. feels totally surreal. apparently i have moderate to severe depression. Really? i have always felt a little like this and at times alot worse. once i get over the slightly hysterical making jokes about it i suppose i have to actually take the dammed things. gp says i will soon feel like my old self - didn't like to tell him that is exactly what i am trying to avoid.

have search the archives and am v. comforted by the fact that half of mumsnet appears to have taken it at some time or another and it is helpful.

My dh brought home my stash of Prozac for the next 3 months with the groceries last night! It does feel a bit weird, doesn't it?

My advice as a longtime user: take it regularly. Prozac are not "happy pills" to be popped when feeling down.

Apart from that, you sound as if you should be in therapy rather than on Prozac. Who is your old self and why don't you like her??

Hi There,

I also got a prescription for Fluoxetine yesterday! I have taken it before and I did find that for me it worked wonders for my panic attacks.

Did your GP offer any other support?

Why not come over and join us on the support thread?

yes.I am on Citalopram.It is very good.Got some confidence back.You will feel better ttit.Did not feel too bad before taking it, just a bit sad and overwhelmed. but they really help.Also sleep better and don't feel panicky any more.
all hail Fluoxetine.

I have been taking fluoxetine too for about a fortnight and also feel much better!

Felt a bit nauseous the first week but nothing unbearable and it wore off!! I agree make sure you get other support too, ie counselling.

hi, thanks all.

allhallows, i don't need therapy just meant that i am my old self i just need to be a happier version of that person. actually now i have typed that out maybe i do need therapy!

might make my way over to the support thread.
