prozac

Avatar n tn its the seraquel that makes me feel like a xombie,...
Avatar m tn I did not want to get addicted to having to have a sleep aid to sleep, that is a road i have no interest in. Prozac was not an energy booster for me, i think energy comes from nutrition, and exercise and getting off my arse. i would take natural tiredness over insomnia and having to take a sleep aid any day. look up the history of Zoloft on whikopedia, notice that it was banned in europe until magically in 1991 it was approved.
Avatar f tn Hi I was put on prozac in mach the dr at that time played so much with my doses i was all over the place ,same way with adderall i was put on it for refractory depression,it was to give me energy LOL I have no energy..got a new dr in may cause old one retired he had me try to up prozac and trouble with that so his asso.
Avatar f tn Yes SSRIs withdrawal can include a bunch of symptoms but you haven't been a long time on Prozac and Prozac is thought to be relatively smooth to withdraw from. Your real problem is the anxiety that comes with taking and withdrawing from drugs and your GAD. Seriously I would consider CBT or weekly appointment with a QUALIFIED psychologist. No matter how many drugs you take it won't cure your problem to the root but I think you still have some other drugs to try.
Avatar f tn Being on Pristiq and Zyprexa has kept my depression in check, but I have low energy and no motivation to do anything. Any ideas as to how to get my energy and motivation back?

653169 tn?1303446369 Thanks for input on prozac. I remember that's why I liked the prozac cuz it does give me energy after about a week or two. I think I will try to go back on it since my depression causes me to be lower functioning which in turn causes me more depression. So, the added energy would really help and I do have a refill of low dose xanax that I could use to combat the increased anxiety that I usually get initially.
Avatar f tn I am 90 some days free of tramadol and the occasional hydros. Zero, none in 90 some days. I'm struggling with energy, motivation, concentration really bad. Dr put me on prozac in Jan. Its like all I want to do is nothing, no interest in anything at all. I work everyday, I do just enough to get by even at home. I can't seem to get motivated to do a thing. I take all the vitamins, a big handful. Am I bored, do I have a bad attitude, whats going on? I need to get past this part.
Avatar m tn I've been off work for 3 months now and have just maxed out on Wellbutrin SR to help with major depression. It's not helping so now I need to try another AD. I took Prozac a few years ago and had good success for a few years, so I think my next step to try the Prozac again. I tried Effexor for about 8 months but it never really helped. I experienced extreme withdrawal from it while switching to wellbutrin.
Avatar f tn I took Prozac 20mg for 12 years, started out OK, it gave me lots of energy, I couldn't stop talking and I am a quiet person. Reasons for taking it soon resolved themselves, but I kept taking the meds, big mistake!! I noticed I was always hot when others were not, I would sweat even with moderate activity, never wore a jacket no matter how cold. My vision began to get worse, had to have glasses for reading and driving, I began to have hearing problems, turn the TV up more and more.
Avatar f tn the week of aug 25th till sept 14 i felt like my old self and then my dr changed the hormone med and now im having that right sided eye pain and face pain like before i was on hormones and i dont know why,i did cut to one 10 mg of prozac from 20 mg on sept 7th dont know if that caused it or not....
Avatar f tn Hi. I started Prozac 10 mg for GAD and Panic 3 days ago. I'm suddenly noticing increased anxiety. Is this a common side affect? If so, will it subside pretty quickly? I'm feeling worse than before:( Thank you!
Avatar n tn Since lowering the dose, I have lost some weight and started feeling better until the panic started recently. Would you recommend switching to Prozac instead? I am ALWAYS sleepy with Paxil and have become a real procrastinator - not to mention the short-term memory issues and sexual side effect - which have improved with the lower dosing as well.
Avatar f tn The depression is what zaps your energy and motivation to do anything. As you come out of your depression your energy level will increase. If your doctor is not listening to you or does not make some changes in your medications to help you, I would see another doctor.
Avatar f tn I was on fluoxetine (Prozac) for over a year from July 2011 then weaned off as was feeling and doing great and not wanting to be dependent on them, I had a bad week 5 week ago now with sleep so my doctor put me back on them and after 1/2 week felt great off 20mg at tea time, now this last week mainly from Wednesday I feel rubbish I know I'm getting 7/8 hours sleep but not feeling refreshed was wondering if changing to take it morning at 20mg and see if it works better or carry on tea time ta
13017155 tn?1429020488 Taking for depression and mood stabilizing as well as lack of energy. Doctor said it should give an energy boost and does not cause weight gain which I was concerned about. She has me on (2) 10MG Capsules once daily. 2) Doxepin- Taking for anxiety and for sleep as well. Doc has me on 2 differnet dosages daily. (1) 10MG Capsule 2x a day as need for anxiety. & Take (1-2) 25MG capsules every night at bedtime.
560272 tn?1311350293 I've had depression/anxiety for 10 yrs now. I've been off and on Prozac (only drug I've ever tried). I was on 10mg-20mg Prozac for the last 2 years, until 6 weeks ago. I weaned myself off. This is the reasons why: I gained 40 pounds in 2 yrs on it, and I still had a great amount of depression and anxiety. And so far, I really haven't been worse off it, about the same. But I'm tired of the battle, the daily battle. I'm totally different now then what I used to be.
Avatar f tn Like you i am on Wellbutrin 150 mg amd 20mg of Prozac i do well on both have been for 2 yrs now. The prozac makes me tired i tried no prozac and 1 wellbutrin in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I had more energy but i was snapping at everyone and being hateful so went back on the prozac my Dr. said the prozac dosnt make you tired but my body says the different.
Avatar n tn MY DOCTOR PUT ME ON WELLBUTRIN, I HAVE BEEN TAKING 20 MG PROZAC FOR A YEAR.. SHE TOLD ME TO JUST QUIT TAKING THE PROZAC ALL TOGETHER..
Avatar f tn maybe if i stay on the higher dose of prozac it wil helpo my depression and no energy been on wellbutrin since june 10 no energy from it or the 5 mg adderaall im a lost cause
Avatar n tn I have been on 20 mg paxil for panic attacks for 7 years, I've tried to wean from paxil(felt like had no energy on paxil) many times, unsuccessfully. I've recently switched to 20 mg prozac, without a taper. After about 5 weeks, I started to feel lousey-nausea, diarrhea, no appetite, depressed. Still feeling lousey. Would it likely be better to increase prozac, or switch back to paxil. If switching back to paxil, what are the best ways to do this.
1836616 tn?1328680609 I have been on Fluoxetine (prozac) and Amitriptyline at night for insomnia and today I had a side effect that had me dizzy light headed and faint feeling and tonight when I took my Amitriptyline instead of making me tired it has givin me energy that I didn't have earlier.... So FRUSTRATED!!!!
Avatar f tn Prozac might give you more energy, but is generally not as good for anxiety because of that. Just something to keep in mind.
Avatar f tn Im on xanax 3 mg aday and now 30 mg of pozac been on meds since march 3,,,,,,dropped down to 30 mg of prozac on sunday..my question is i have very week legs aand i walk like in slow motion and people aare noticing it...
Avatar f tn I have good days on prozac but more off and down days. would you think it was time for a dose or med change at this point now that iv been on it for just over 5 weeks.
Avatar f tn I am currently taking 40mg prozac after over a 3 year addiction to tramadol and the occasional hydro.I haven't had any pain pills since Jan.7th and started the prozac the same time. My question, what other AD could I try that could help with motivation, energy. I just feel blah most of time. Its like I sit in a stooper most of the day and just do enough to get by. I've asked this before and some suggestion my AD needs changed. I have a dr. apt.
