So I'm in an adjustment period right now. I'm taking a starter dose of Prozac with a tiny "trail-off" does of Effexor. Every time we bump down the Effexor, I feel progressivly worse and worse. Furthermore, it's that time of the month, which has typically been a horrible time for me emotionally most of my life. I was taking birth control pills that made me moody for 3 out of 4 weeks. I changed to a different brand of the Pill, which helped tremendously, but for the past 3 weeks we've been messing with my meds, so I'm miserable again. :(
I just feel like crying for no reason....I'm extremely irritable...I'm shopping like crazy even though I should be either saving the money or using it to pay off my huge debts...I don't want to work...I don't want to cook....I just feel like I have every symptom of depression I've ever had, including wishing I was dead or wishing I was someone else...I can talk myself out of feeling suicidal by reminding myslef how many people love me and how hurt they'd be if I left them. That's kept me going, at least.
I just wish I was someone else - I'm sick of fighting this demon. I want to be one of those happy women whose lives seem perfect even though in reality their lives aren't as great as it would seem.
I just hope soon I can increase my dise of Prozac and hope that it works as good as the Effexor!!!
I'm beginning to feel like there is no right drug for me and that I'll feel like this for the rest of my life. :(
I think I'll call my doctor.

Are you seeing a pdoc or your regular doc?

You know...I'd get a second opinion.
