Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Really sucks! I am deep into a funk right now. Today, I was in or near tears so many times I lost count. I stopped my prozac again. I just hate taking it. I hate the side effects and I hate having to depend on it. I want to be able to deal with my life without drugs. I don't know what to do. We still haven't heard yay or nay on the house. I am about to pull my hair out about it. Ebony is smearing poo again. We are overdrawn in the checkbook...by a LOT! I feel so out of control. I don't feel like I have anything to say about what is happening in my own life. I am having a lot of pain with the fibro this last week too. I feel sad. But I feel detached too. Like I am not really here. I am just existing. Sorry for the vent, but I know you guys won't mind. Thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Tamara, I don't have any advice except PLEASE take your Prozac. It's not any different than diabetic needing insulin, etc. All I can say is that I've been there, and if I could be there to have a cup of coffee with you, I would. {{{{{{Tamara}}}}}}} ellen Depression.......

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 I SOOOOOO understand about not wanting to be dependent upo n medicine. I still don't have a diagnosis - but they are bordering between BiPolar, Borderline Personality, and Dissosociative Disorder. IN any case I am supposed to be on Depakote and Prozac as well as Xanax - and oh man could I go on forver about why I don't want to be on them - how easy it is to forget, and so on and so on.... But I cannot function without it - and that much I do understand. So maybe that is the first step? We'll see, katrina <html><DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#006666><A href= " mailto:KatMoody@...

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 OK, Tamara you have to get back to your med. I am taking it too and so what? It worlks that's all that matters. I tried to stop taken it too, I was on Luvox before had some awful side effects (weight gain, etc) and I swicht to prozac and I am doing great. Maybe you need to change to other med.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Hey Katrina, Can you take Xanax and Depakote at the same time? I'm supposed to take Xanax at bedtime, but since I started the Depakote, I haven't. ellen Depression....... >Date: Sun, 11 May 2003 22:43:57 -0500 > _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
