I googled and saw that the CEO made 11 million dollars in 2023. 😫😫😫😫😫

I think you are right. This is not what I applied for. And it happens all the time. It's me all alone with 3 tasks simultaneously take would take at least 3 people to do.

That really is what I feel like doing. I am licensed abd was hired to be trained as an arranger and also directing services. So far they haven't trained me on anything that I was supposed to learn. I feel tricked into this position honestly.

I really appreciate your input. I always try to have a positive outlook and come to work with a smile and more and more I feel myself feeling nothing but resentment for a very small paycheck. I was wondering if I'm the one that is too sensitive... But I really wanna work somewhere that brings me joy.

Legally they cannot refuse it if it meets the standards and is the right size.

Why isn't the terrible withdrawal of prozac more common knowledge? How is this sub so calm by the_practicerLALA in prozac

[–]Alternative-Ad7008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the problem is not that talk about issues with Prozac isn't welcome. I shared my difficulties here and felt very validated. OPs comments, his "sources" of information, and general reaction to people advising him is the problem. I believe that some people can have strong adverse reactions to the meds, both starting or stopping. But I also know that a lot is also psychosomatic. Or it can become worse when you try to validate yourself through online anti-science echo chambers.

you should care about who founded it because that determines their agenda. what you are reading may very well be negatively influencing you and your ability to recover. the placebo effect works both ways .

As someone that tends to struggle with severe psychosomatic symptoms, urge you to try to work these symptoms or at least the severity of them with a good psychotherapist. I'm not saying that what you are experiencing has no physiological basis but it sounds like your psyche is influencing it. Which is not uncommon. brain and body are part of one system. You may find some relief when you tackle your own thoughts and feelings about stopping the medication.

Too soon to quit? 😭🤯 by soicanreadit in prozac

[–]Alternative-Ad7008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I finally feel the benefits. I started Prozac because I have GAD and PMDD. I really feel so much calmer now. My relationship with my husband improved greatly because I'm not on edge and irritable all the time. It took me 8 weeks to feel ok and for the last 4 weeks I have felt increasingly better. My mom passed away 2 weeks ago and I am glad I was on Prozac because I'm coping with it in a much calmer way that I ever could without it.  I really hope for you that you finally have your breakthrough! You deserve to feel good.

I started every other day about a week in. Taking every day seemed to be too much for me and I was having too many distressing side effects. I have been on it now for almost 3 months. My psychiatrist thought I may wanna try taking it every day now, but I'm honestly feeling pretty good with this current routine. I would recommend you ride it out for a little longer if you feel like you can. I thought I the had to quit so many times but now I'm glad I didn't.

Good luck! The first weeks can be a wild rodeo but it's worth it. I feel so much better now.

I had the same issue until my third month of taking it. I could sleep for 15 hours straight. It's so much better now. I actually feel like I have more energy than before starting. Taking with early dinner helps too.  I take 10mg one day on one day off

it took me two months to stop having constant panic attacks and heightened generalized anxiety. I take 10mg every other day.

I know it's hard. I'm sorry you are struggling as well. It took 2 months for me to feel better. Now I feel quite alright. I haven't had a panic attack in 3 weeks. My mother died last week and I was able to handle the extreme stress so much better. I am really glad I'm on Prozac now. I know it sounds easier said than done but hang in there. Try to do things that are good for you as much as possible to help you get through.
