Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hi Tamara. First of all, big ((((((hugs)))))) to you. In one of your other replies, you said that you had already tried some different meds and they didn't work for you. I can certainly understand that, but may I ask which ones you have tried and how long have you been on the Prozac?? Not being nosey, honest, it's just that I've BTDT and still doing it!!! I really do understand. I was on Prozac for quite a while and it was working really well for a while. But then, towards the beginning of this year, I was beginning to feel bad again.....not just depressed but having bad anxiety attacks again and I was back to my " stress eating " . So, my doc changed my med and it really is helping all the symptoms of depression and not just the " sad " part. I do understand about the sexual side effects, I really do. But I thought that was supposed to go away after a while?? But, of course, I could be wrong! LOL. Anyway, I just want you to know that I'm here for you, as we all are, and I'm praying you feel better soon!! Love, prayers and heart hugs, Debbie (GA), Mom to Evan (4.5 y/o with ToF, RBBB, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asthma); (now a whole year old and HH and NT?); and my 3 angel babies whom I will finally see when God says it's time! 9:1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hey Debbie. I have tried wellbutrin and another one (can't remember the name though). I have been on the prozac for almost a year. What is it that you are using now? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hi Tamara. Right now I am on Effexor and I know it has gotten some " bad press " too but it's working really well for me. To be completely blunt here......I have no problems at all with my " sex life " ..... OTHER THAN MY HUSBAND!!! Sorry - had to get that out. He hasn't touched me since I got pregnant for and is 13 months old. Ok - done now.....that was WAY OT!! Seriously, I am praying that you find something that works well for you - soon. I know how awful the side effects are but I also know how awful that deep and dark-feeling depression is. Hugs and prayers to you!!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thanks Debbie. I think I will ask about that. It seems like there are several people on that and it is one I haven't tried. LOL about your husband. Although that wouldn't be too funny after awhile. I hope you guys are able to work that out. It is such a big part of a relationship. To me, that is when dh and I are closest emotionally as well as physcially. Anyway, thanks so much.
