prozac for mood swings

I use Abilify with Wellbutrin and love the combo. Best I have ever used yet. Abilify is excellent for my mood swings. I have mixed stat bipolar I so it works great for me. Give it a go, you will know within a few weeks, Abilify kicks in quick. Well it did for me! I love not "swinging" anymore and I feel stable most of the time. I get a little down here and there, but for the most part I am leading a normal life now. Good luck.

My daughter 15 yr old has been on prozac for two years. she also take birth control for mood swings. For the last month, she has been nauseated at school every Monday morning. I think it's anxiety, but wondering if the medications are causing it.

My drs attribute my anxiety/mood swings to having an anxiety disorder..but after reading all this, I understand why the medication doesnt work. Its really cool to know that we can talk about all this without feeling judged since we are all in the same boat. My family thinks Ive gone insane...they just dont get it.

I was on prozac before vicodins and the vics did what the prozac did for me. I new i had high anxity before I was on vics so I new I would need them after. I started prozac on my 4th day clean, I am 21 days now, I know they have helped me and I couldnt of done it without them. So most likely you will need them, good for u on getting clean, you can do it!

I am looking for something that is not going to make me a complete zombie, but I need help with the anxiety as well as all of the mood swings. I have many friends that are on prozac and has done wonders for them. Just wondering any personal experiences. i am on xanax .5 daily for right now. Short term until these other meds kick in. The only other one I have heard of is wellbutrin. Any thoughts or ideas thanks!

Low Vit. D hinders calcium absorbtion. High serum calcium can cause weight gain, mood swings and fatigue. I have both Vit. D deficiency and hypothyroidism. What wer your actual lab numbers? Sometimes normal range is not optimal range and you have symptoms.

Then I was attacked when I was 18 which made the depression worse so I was prescribed Prozac, but I’ve been on that now for 4 years, even though I don’t think about the attack anymore, I have them because I still feel depressed and will have days where I don’t want to leave the house or do anything and I feel so low. I still have mood swings where I get really angry and then I could cry for no reason, but then I will have highs where I’m just really hyperactive and can’t stop talking.

I'm sorry you are going through a rough patch, Hon. Not fun, is it? But you've come to the right place and I'm impressed that you are doing what you can to help yourself. We are not doctors and therefore cannot answer your question about going back on the Prozac. Only your doctor can do that and I would suggest that you get in to see him/her to dicuss these issues. I hope you stick around...........there are lots of folks here who are, or have, walked in your moccasins.

I was on Prozac for about 8 ys and went off it cold turkey and had no problems what so ever. It just seemed like I grew imuned to it.

I had the mood swings (Dr. put me on 40 mg. Prozac once a day) and the rash was the first thing my husband noticed on me. Mostly arms. And yes fatigue is quite normal & they say you should rest as much as possible with HCV. Renew yourself - do what it takes to relax yourself. "The itchies" as i called them about drove me crazy. Has your doc suggested Benadryl? You might inquire about this - it really did help me but everyone is different. Take care!

s perscribe it after hysterectomies for help with hot flashes and mood swings due to hormone changes, but also saw that some cardio Dr.s prescribe it also to help with POTS. Does anyone here have any experience with it?

I would suggest a good medical work up to rule out an organic reason for your mood swings. Do you notice an increase in these around your cycle? Are you on some form of birth control............again a hormone issue. Perhaps moving into your own place will help, but it's pretty difficult, not only on a college campus, but in life, to get away from loud, messy, unhelpful people, and loud noises.

Then I was attacked when I was 18 which made the depression worse so I was prescribed Prozac 20mg a day, but I’ve been on that now for 4 years, even though I don’t think about the attack anymore, I have them because I still feel depressed and will have days where I don’t want to leave the house or do anything and I feel so low.

I have been struggling greatly with nicotine withdrawals over the past few months; it's been miserable. But, it's my own doing, so there's no self-pity coming from my end. However, the withdrawals have been causing me severe bouts of depression. Severe enough that, even after getting through the worst of the withdrawals, I still fight the depression. There's not a whole lot of mood swings involved; just depression.

Like you Welbuterin never really did help to eliminate my depression. It works for some, but not others. I was also on Prozac for several months also. The Prozac helped a little, but just wasn't powerful enough for me so I never got a good theraputic response from it. I am kind of the exception because I am medication resistant and my depression and anxiety is a tough nut to crack.

Is anyone on this drug?for depression,etc,started back on me tablets again prozac,but i get thoughts that scare me,mood swings etc,havent been on it again all that long,should i give the tablets more time?mayb it isnt the tablets and just me thinking it is.

Anyone else having mood swings? I am 30 weeks & 2 days and for the past week I have been so moody! Everything has irritated me and when I do get mad I stay mad for a little bit and I hate it.. I try to hold it in but then I explode and feel bad for yelling at husband. I feel like a huge cow, can't sleep, & it's hard to move around. I can't stand my dog either. She annoys the crap out of me..lol. I'm just ready for this pregnancy to be over lol.

I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do. I was to the point where I almost admitted myself to an Emergency Room for some kind of help. I asked my pulmonary doctor for something and he gave me something (I don't remember what) with the stipulation I see someone. I did.

deep breaths, reminding myself of the biological cause for the anger(hormones + bipolar disorder for me) and listening to music helps me a bunch.
