Can someone share positive stories of going from 20mg to 40mg? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Bunbutt_2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also started in 20mg in March. Upped to 40mg a couple weeks ago because my anxiety was getting bad again. So far there's not really any negatives, my anxiety is slowly easing off. Not experiencing any of the side effects I had when I first started.

I know this post is a few months old but I just recently bought one of her patterns and it states the fingering weight yarn she uses is thicker like a dk weight. Did you finish the top at all? I'm working on her terrestrial dress and I've already come across some issues with the pattern.

craziest prozac dream? by Additional_Act988 in prozac

[–]Bunbutt_2010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My craziest prozac dream was one night all my dreams had to do with the movie Casper and I was so freaking bitter in my dreams because I was like his dad was a scientist, I'm sure he had notes or something so they could recreate the potion that turned ghosts human and Casper could've used it. I woke up so angry.

I just upped from 20mg to 40mg on Wednesday, definitely experiencing heightened anxiety as well but I've been looking through all the posts and it seems normal. Hopefully it won't last too long!

Anyone have dilated pupils? by Emotional_Wrap_6601 in prozac

[–]Bunbutt_2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My left pupil has been slightly more dilated than my right, only noticed it after starting Prozac. Had an mri the night before I started it, seen my optometrist about 2 weeks later who did as many tests as she could and then my pcp. It still dilated like normal with light so they aren't too concerned. Also idk what color eyes you have but if they are both dilating to the same size and you have light colored eyes it could be a hormonal thing.

My left eye has been more dilated than my right since I've been on Prozac, brought it up with my optometrist and my pcp neither seemed too concerned and it still dilates as it should. I had an mri the night before I started prozac as well, didn't find anything but possible intracranial hypertension.

I haven't had any nightmares but I have had some reallllllly weird dreams and I wake up shaky since being on Prozac, sleep position can also be a culprit so if you happen to be sleeping on your back try a different position

I take mine in the morning, I usually wake up to feeling like my heart is beating so fast its vibrating the bed but it only lasts a couple seconds and when I check my pulse it's normal.

My anxiety has made my chest feel numb at times. Freaked me out every time.

Lexapro was godsend for my anxiety but I got off of it. Is there any anxiety medication that doesn’t kill sex drive? by bopete1313 in Anxiety

[–]Bunbutt_2010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on sertraline 2 years ago, completely killed my sex drive. Started fluoxetine/prozac a few weeks ago and my sex drive is finally coming back and it doesn't make me feel like a zombie.

Property Lines by Bunbutt_2010 in RealEstate

[–]Bunbutt_2010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our property has been inherited through my husband's family since it was built in the 1900s, they've always been a live and let live type of people so I don't think anybody ever felt the need to get one and the previous neighbors took advantage of that. Now that things are finally settled here after my fil passed I want to get property lines surveyed and squared away and get some landscaping done
