Feeling like a zombie

Hi, I have a question about some meds I’ve been on. I have intrusive, weird thoughts along with anxiety and depression. I’m on Prozac, zyprexa and trileptal and am only 2 weeks into taking all of these. I’m still having all of these existential thoughts and feelings about what is real, and on top of that as having intense brain fog/numbness. For anyone who’s taken one or multiple of these meds, does it get better, and if so when? I’m just scared that this won’t get better I’ve tried so many meds at this point.

@FinneganFox90 Sounds like a plan, I’ll give it some more time and try not to be too discouraged. I’m such an impatient person so it’ll definitely be tough, but I want to get better which is a major thing because I didn’t even want that before.

@Anoniem Can it honestly get better, because I find it a bit disturbing

It’s okay man, it’s normal to feel like this when you’re taking new medication, especially if you’re going through something rough. Recently, I have undergone some med changes that have caused me tons of side effects. I got taken off pristiq, which I had been taking for more than 2 years. I don’t even feel mentally here at times. On top of that, I got put on Wellbutrin, and Seroquel. I’ve only been on these for a month, but it’s felt longer due to how my body is adjusting to it. Since everyone’s different, it’s difficult to tell how long it’ll take for you to get adjusted. If it does concern you, I’d suggest reaching out to a professional. Keep pushing through. Best of luck 🫶🏻

Starting new anxiety meds

Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

Experience with Prozac

I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?
