Week 9 prozac feel terrible again

Thanks Nancy I feel really uncomfortable and anxious around anyone again panicking if someone knocks at my door although it was even worse last month had days where it's not as severe but last couple of days have been dreadful going dizzy feel nervous with butterflies and weak god I just hope this starts kicking in properly soon when someone speaks to me feel like my head is going to wobble off my shoulders with the nerves although it's not visible on outside the doc won't give me anything for my anxiety I take beta blockers but feel like I need something light to take edge off a bit more it's awful thank you for replying Nancy x

Jane, at 7 last night I felt normal but not so much this morning   However I have to say this is the best day I have had but far from perfect. I just started a beta blocker , so maybe that’s it. Who knows what late this afternoon will be like. 

I know what you mean about the door. I just don’t answer it or the phone unless it’s one of the children. I wouldn’t answer then but if I don’t The come and I don’t want to see anyone. 

It would be wonderful if this were the 1st day of feeling better. I’ll reach out to you  tomorrow and let you know. This is 9 weeks and 4 days on 20 mg. 

Hang in there. 

Ok Nancy hope your ok Hun hang in there we will get through this hope your ok I'm fussing your not from Liverpool like me because of the time difference fingers crossed for me for tomorrow still felt on edge today but very slightly better than yesterday this is such a cruel illness I never took drugs in my life I don't really drink I look after my kids alone and one has cystic fibrosis so has loads of daily medication and treatments just feel like i don't deserve This but saying that I have battled with anxiety the majority of my life hope you have a better day Nancy keep strong Hun x

Jane, you are right I am from the US, South Carolina to be exact. Like you, I have led a pretty clean life and don’t understand where all this came from. 

Today continues to be my best day yet, in fact my only good day.  

Unlike you, I haven’t had anyone I had to take care of but myself. I don’t know how you have managed. cystic Fibrosis can be so difficult to deal with.  If anything good comes out of this, I hope it will be that I will be aable to help someone else. My eyes have been opened to the misery of a mental illness. I had no idea what people dealt with. 

I’ll keeo you posted on my progress and please do the same. I am hoping this  feeling of well being will continue. 

Will do Nancy fingers crossed this is your turning point Hun ❤️

Christine, how long have you been off Flu?

Hi Nancy, I’ve been off about 6 weeks I think, I only took them for 3 weeks, the side effects for me were just horrendous 

Thanks Christine. They are for me too!

If I didn’t have 21 weeks invested, I’d stop too.  

Hope you continue to feel well. 

Hi Nancy I been on flux since end November how about you I feeling horrible was getting there but slid back it's horrible I feel list

Are you on a different one now

I was on amitriptyline prior so have gone back to them

Julie, I started at 5 mg then  10 and 15. 9 weeks and 4 days ago I went on 20.  I take Clonozopam and recently started a beta blocker for the anxiety. 

I was on Flu 7 yeats ago and it worked like a charm with no side effects. When I went off I did it cold turkey with only one side effect and that was brain zaps. 

This time has been a nightmare.  I think I am better but it’s so slow and it’s hard to tell. I have to ask myself what can I do this month that I couldn’t do last month. 

I will stick with it since I have so much time invested. Oddly enough, I feel normal at night and better in a car on a trip. 

I thought I was taking it for depression after a 18 month illness but the anxiety has  taken over. I don’t know  whether it’s the Flu  or me causing the anxiety. 

Take care  and if you see any progress let us know. 

I am about 22 weeks in at 20mg really bad day today bad head and restless and v down I so long for normal life again

Julie, I really haven’t had any good days since this All started until today. It’s only about 1:30 so All could change. I actually feel almost happy and have had no anxiety. I hardly know what to do with myself. It could all change but for right now I’ll take it. I am at week 22.  I’ll let you know how things go. 

Thats good Nancy I feel like I have gone back to square one my brain is not working properly and I feel frightened again it's been a v bad patch

Julie and Jane, yesterday was great. No anxiety or depression. This was the first  in over 5 months. I was so enthusiastic unti I woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea. Stomach problems have been one of my issues. I just don’t know whick med is causing it. 

I am approaching today with caution. All in All, I think I am better. I believe I am ahead of both of you in terms of how long I have been on Fle. I’ll let you know how this day goes. If I can get two days in a row, I’ll be encouraged. Take care. 

Thank you Nancy I so hope you get another good day today keep us updated Hun x
