My pdoc recently put me back on prozac and I don't really know if it is doing it's job. I'm not majorly depressed, but I'm feeling emotionally and physically numb. Life isn't going to ever get better. I have nothing to look forward too. Being awake is excruciating. I can't find anything to occupy me and I haven't the energy anyway. My anxiety is out the roof. Life just seems like a meaningless loop. I feel like my only purpose in life right now is to be here for my son. Honestly, I don't even know where my relationship with my husband stands. Too many things said that cannot be undone. My thoughts are ever changing and I feel like the walls are closing in, like I can't breathe. I feel useless and a waste of life. Do you ever feel like life is as good as it is going to get and it's just not good enough? I feel like my world is fixing to implode.

It sounds like maybe you should call your pdoc and describe this. I'm always suspicious of prozac because I had a bad experience with akathesia before I was diagnosed and before I had a reasonable pdoc. But it sounds like it isn't working well for you and feeling that uncomfortable sounds like you might need an adjustment.

I had to look up akathesia, but yeah that kinda describes how I feel. To me it is just a feeling something is not right. I've been on prozac before and it helped, but I am also taking 450mg wellbuterin a day.

When I've had akathesia the easiest description is "something is not right". Then it moves into "I can't stay still" and can move further into "this is torture" if it's not treated, which it usually is because it just doesn't feel good even early on.

I'm not saying that medication will 'make you all better', but it does sound like the Prozac isn't doing its job. I suggest checking with your doctor and telling her how you're feeling.

Guess I need to make a call tomorrow, I wish they could hurry up and get my therapy going again.

I would definitely call. It does sound a lot like akathesia and even if it isn't that if you are feeling like that you need it to stop because it's a HORRIBLE feeling.
What is the delay with therapy?

I'm sorry. That would be very difficult to wait when you need help. I hope the wait is very short.

Perhaps you haven't been on the prozac long enough for it to make a difference or have a positive effect on you. Doesn't it take a month or so? What did your psychiatrist tell you to expect?
