please anyone out there help me, im despereate

Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling like this.

WRT the food issue, the only advice I can give you is to a) drink plenty of water as this will help you to stop feeling hungry, and b) try to keep busy.

IME both of these help with anxiety and depression also.

Have you spoken to your doctor about coming off the prozac?

I don't know much about it, but I'm pretty sure that it's not advisable to just suddenly stop taking them.

It would be a good idea to make a doctor's appointment just to run through why you didn't think they were working as there may be another alternative .

thanks for replying...
im at the doctors next week, just dont want to end up the size of a house lol
i have just ate a full easter egg knowing fine well i will feel sick later, cat go on like this it is getting out of hand

Hopefully the doctor will be able to help
