I know when people say "it's gonna be ok" the intentions behind the statement are good ones. I don't feel like it's gonna be ok. I have been going through a bad depression the past few weeks- I struggle every day to do the normal things like shower go to work- make dinner, etc. I cry at my desk at least 3 out if 5 days a week. I tell my pdoc this and she prescribed Prozac and told me as long as I take my mood stabilizer (lamictal300mg daily) I should be ok. I'm not sure if I'm feeling worse from the Prozac or if my depression has decided that it wants to be in control. My anxiety is bad- I walk around with a knot in my stomach unless I take the clonazepam but I try to keep that in check so I don't get too dependent on it. My mind is racing again at night- worse than usual and I'm afraid that it's from the Prozac. I want to feel better but I feel like every day it's a struggle. I'm so so tired. I have been taking Prozac for about a week. Is that even enough time to feel any different? Thoughts?

And whether or not it is clear to you,
