I am on day 3 of Prozac and I have headaches, feel tired, and just kind of out if it and spacey. Which is challenging for me because I already dissociate/depersonalize frequently. Anyone else have similar experiences? I also hope Prozac doesn’t give me as much emotional blunting as Zoloft did.
I also disassociate and have always had issues with that and I’ve had like 1 or two days I’ve felt like that but before I felt unreal almost constantly
@Anonymous6482 So would you say it improved your dissociation? Thanks for responding.
@RosemaryFlowers I think so because anxiety has a lot to do with disassociating. And my heads also been a lot more focused I feel like which has helped me stay grounded from going into an ocd spiral. So yes I think it’s definitely helped.
I just got on Prozac about two weeks ago and I had the headache problem but it did go away after the first week. I don’t feel super emotionally bluffed but I’ve noticed my anxiety has been minimal. Like I’m not freaking out and panicking as much as I would’ve before but the ocd is still prominent. I’m just not having melt downs anymore. Which is good I suppose
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
My allergies are probably to blame mostly but I keep feeling like I got brain fog and it’s hard to concentrate. My ocd says what if you loose control and don’t know where your at and can’t concentrate and complete and task. I feel like I got alot going on trying my side gigs etc and working. Not feeling the best today.
