I have been on shaky grounds since I left the hospital about a month or so ago and something is just going bezerk inside me.
I couldn't sleep all night so I resorted to drinking until 5am (I barley drink since my twenties as it is a bad method of coping) went to sleep until 8am got up did my thing . Went back to bed until 10:00 am and have been drinking again since. My whole character is out of wack is it the new Prozac? is it because I was fired? is it because I just never got full stability after the hospital? I am worried

I understand.
 I'm feeling way off too. I'm feeling a bad paranoia in the afternoons.When do you see your pdoc next. Maybe he'll know what to do... |

The drinking is probably a combination of all of the aforementioned things. I would agree that it is not a good coping mechanism though. What are some other things that you enjoy that you can do to relieve stress? Can you practice deep breathing, go for a walk, listen to some feel good music?
Also, not all mania is good mania! You sound like you may be manic; I would give your pdoc a call.

sorry you are not feeling well either
I see him in a couple weeks...he will blame the Prozac because he's just against it but I don't want to jump to conclusions. I guess im hoping it will be my miracle drug because it has no side effects on me ..and long term use dosent seem dangerous.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way! Don't be hard on yourself! It's your pdoc's job to work with you and for you and I personally think it's ridiculous if he is "intense and mad" with you about this. You just wanted to try a new medicine. My doc actually suggested an anti-depressant and I have horrible and occasionally very psychotic manias. I did fine with it. It is not irrational to want an antidepressant even if most docs won't do it. I'm sure you are a great patient!

I get that weird edge off of AD, even the Prozac that I'm taking. Without a stabilizer I'll go nuts!
There has to be a fine balance between AD and stabilizer for me, that's why I get a 10 mg tablet and cut it in half to make 5 mg to take with the 20 mg capsule to make 25 mg. 5 mg too much I get that hypo like edge or 5 mg not enuff, it doesn't work. I hope you get to feeling better sweety! |

The enormous stress of losing your job could cost you your equilibrium for a while. Give yourself time to recover, put it in perspective, and move on.

yeah that's what im trying to figure out...is this med related or stress or both
I think you are right....getting fired?? that has GOT to be up there on the list of most stressful events I thought would never happen to ME and stress does a number on me. my first worst horrible psychotic break happened at a time of ENORMOUS stress (also on lamictal) things are flashing in my head and I was on the verge of paranoia but im trying to center myself and regain control THX!
