As some of you may know, i'm suffering from depression. The doctor put me on prozac & i have been taking it for 21 days now.
I can't stop crying & feeling soooo low . I don't want to feel like this anymore.
I have been a right bitch to my fiance as i don't know how to handle my feelings when i get low & they end up coming out on him. I don't want this to happen but no matter how much i try they do anyway.
Shouldn't the tablets be doing something by now?
I just want to be happy again. My life now is good, it's the past thats getting in the way of my future.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Anyone who has taken prozac, hw long did it take to work? It's mean't to be 3 weeks isn't it?
A VERY fed up woman.:(

Yeah, but i i only ended up missing a day. I'm going to the docs next week, i'm just fed up with feeling like this.
I've been through 6 and only one made even the slightest difference. and i had to come off it anyway cause the side effects were awful.
I know people who've tried everything going before finding something that works for them.
And then there are people like me, who find the drugs just make things worse, and i'm better off without.
the thing to do is give it a little longer, if nothing still, go back and talk to your doctor. i know mine is a lifesaver, even though i get the feeling he's kinda sick of the sight of me now.
Thankfully i decided to tell a friedn about what was going on, and it did help a lot. I still felt really bad about myself and about everything else, but im now starting to feel better (gradually) and i didn't think i would ever feel ok and 'happy' about things...but i do...and so things WILL get better. Looking back, i cant even think how bad i got, i still have my moments, but things have got a lot better. It will seem like things won't ever change, but they will, they'll get better.
Leave it a bit longer, and if you have any worries or questions go back to your doctor and they'll help. I'm sure your fiance understands, just make sure you talk your feelings through with him because its a big weight off your shoulder.

now im a lot happier, i dont know what was causing it, maybe just hormones. I got through it without frugs, but then again i didnt know i was depressed and didnt go out much. I know people who have been on certain drugs for maybe 3 months for insomnia or depression and other things but after a while they have come off them. My mum has severe insomnia and she used to be on sleeping pills but they caused her to be upset and angry all the time. Now she has stopped taking them she is happier and she is almost cured! Maybe because one night I talked to her for aes about everything that worried her. Anyway, my main point is, sometimes its better looking for another way. Im not saying like herbal baths or witchcraft I just think sometimes there are alternatives to pumping your body full of drugs.
Hope you feel better soon:)
