Medicine

How long have you been on is? I take lexapro and it was a game changer. I tried to go without meds for a very long time. And it takes a few weeks to months to fully ramp up. And even then, your dose me need to be upped. Side affects, like depression, foggyness, etc, usually dissipate after the first month but talk to your psychiatrist if they don’t. A different medication may work better. Everyone’s chemistry is a little different.

And I did get worsened depression. I would get it changed. I’m not saying you won’t have affects but I wouldn’t settle for feeling 10x worse or maybe lower the dose and work up to a bigger one. I wish they would have started me lower regardless of the adult dosing. Everyone is so different. Speak up for yourself and don’t be afraid.

I take celexa and it took about a month for the beside effects to subside (exhaustion, brain fog, increased anxiety). Been on it 3 months is and it’s been going pretty well.

I’m only on day 7 of Prozac and I’m having horrible time. Depression which I’ve never had. No appetite. Feeling out of body etc. we’re any of these normal side effects for you?

I took Prozac for years. I rem my anxiety being worse for a couple of weeks. I don’t recall any depression. If that is new it wouldn’t hurt to call the prescribing dr and get their opinion.

i was on prozac for a little over a month and the side effects were pretty rough. my anxiety spiked and it gave me a bad headache. you have to give it enough time to run it’s course but if you’re not comfortable talk to whoever prescribed it. i’m now on zoloft (only a week in) and it’s seemed better so far

I tried Zoloft and lexapro. Both terrible side effects. I began to have worse anxiety than I have in my entire life including disassociation. This is the part I do not like about these things. Go through so much junk to feel better and it heightened my ocd.
