ive recently been coming off my medication(prozac) because im bein told by my psychcaiatrist(who has now left..)that they cant do any more for me.so ive been lowering the dosage for the last month and being feelin worse and worse ever since.my bf is getting worried about me because we almost broke up a few days ago because i wasnt sure about anything anymore.to put it short it feels like my life is falling apart very slowly.and all because they think they cant do anymore well clearly it did something.she said she doesnt intend to put me on anything else but i really cant on like this ive no self worth or motivation.at least when i was on meds i had a scrap of that now i jus feel teribble and asleep all the time.is this jus because im coming off medication or will i feel like this from now on?& also if i am going to feel like this all the time should i say something to someone?

Hey Carrie;

I think you should find yourself a new doctor, there is plenty of meds out there they can try and you should never give up, that doctors just sounds like a jerk. Don't you give up on yourself and if you still have refills, you should take them till you find someone new.

Good luck and hugs
Cindy

off meds ?

Maybe psychotherapy is what would help. Meds are only part of the treatment; psychotherapy is the other part. It is so wonderful to have someone to talk with regularly who can help you with the things you struggle with in ways that medications can't help.
