Hi Jen, from Houston. I wanted to explain that I had been on prozac in pill form some time ago and it was too hard on my tummy. So they took me off up until a few weeks ago.

I did not know that there is a liquid form of prozac that is easier on the tummy, which it is as I have had no problems with it in this reguard. What concerns me is my recent mood fluctutations. I have had these up and downs but this was different. I posted about it in personality disorders (did not know where else to put it): make a long story short here;

I had this extremely powerful urge to crawl out of a moving car's window. Not jump out, like as in killing myself of something, just to sit on the edge as if it were some kind of challenge. It seemed so risky, it gave me a sense of power just thinking about it. It was unlike me and I can't help but wonder why this was so strong in my mind. I honestly felt like an indestructable super-hero.

I am not saying that it is the meds, who knows what that was all about. I don't have a pdoc and nobody will see me now in this city. Long story. The last pdoc that my family doctor set up refused to be my primary doctor and told my doctor that I should of been placed on a medical ward, not the psychiatric unit. He did not take anytime to even find out whats going on in my head. After all the BS that happened with this last admission, I discharged myself which resulted in all of the pdoc's here refusing to treat me at all. But really, no different than what was going on and I am now angry enough to stand up for myself. I don't know where to start but people are going to know about what does happen when "mental illness" has struck good people--the BS stigma and unacceptable so called treatment that is placed upon the ill.

Haha, I said short didn't I. Sorry about that, I am sick and tired of being pooped on!!!!!! Thats what my point was, well kind of. I am staying on the prozac but am going to be carefull. I really want to give it an honest effort and hope it works out for you too Jen.

Justy
