My T says it's better to cut my medication (prozac) half. Because last time in Therpy, I couldn't help/stop but kept laughing like I was on top of the world to nothing. Sorry if that sounds mean. But I felt really weird, no difference. I might be a bit additive to my medication... but I'll try to take only half instead full. Hahaha....

Could it be my medication finally kicking in?

I think your medication is doing what it's made to do... Make you feel better. It may feel strange to you because you may not be used to any sort of 'normal' feelings, but you'll get used to it. I do understand why she would say cut them in half... Because right now you're on an extreme 'high' and that usually means that whenever you do get down, you'll go extremely 'low', and you need to be at a level pace. That's probably why she suggested the half prozac instead of a whole one.

Ah Miss A,

I took prozac for a while & ended up very anorexic.....went down to 85 lbs at 5'2" & over 40 years old. I lost my appitite completely & felt nausea constantly & felt like had to be on the go....always doing something at 100mph. It took way to long to correlate the fact that the med was the cause since it wasn't that known at the time.

I know you have been posting about the fact that you are losing weight & not very hungry....you might think about the correlation yourself. It is probably good for you to cut down on your amount of prozac....you may see that your eating will improve....or maybe your Pdoc needs to find a different one for you....Wellbutrin did the same thing to me also...& it was the one I was put onto after taken off prozac...nothing like continuing the problem....duh.

Take care...you just can't tell how you will react to something until you try....then you need to understand when you feel different & try to correlate the two....it's a lot of work

Debbie
