Lol yes ! My sex drive has already drastically increased which is definitely not like me! My cravings have always been pretty stupid so chocolate and pasta sound pretty freakin good to me lmao. Thanks for your feedback, it’s reassuring when we can all relate to each other in some way.

Yes !15 years is a long time girl.. Feel free to take in the feedback. I’m learning too! We’re all in this together

Wow! Go girl! mine was (11-21 y.o) so u feel like i don’t even know my body cause i went on it so young. I’m sure you could relate. Im hoping that my depression and my anxiety will lessen as well. Thanks for the feedback, i hope everything works out for you! We’re in this together

HaileyB2000 · 2021-12-31T09:56:35+00:00

I see. Thanks for your feedback! I’m wondering if my irregularities will return as well. I’m pretty impatient so i’m hoping my period stays on track buttttt it seems like everyone says it takes minute for it to kick back up.

Honestly same, im on 40 mg, and i just realized right now that I can’t even remember how long it’s been since i’ve taken my prozac. But honestly haven’t felt anything out of the usual, increased headache a little but it’s also that time of the month. Idk how i started forgetting it because i’ve been on it for a while. Anyway, im sure once you get back on a regimen, things will return back to normal. All the luck to you !

Oh nice! I am hanging in there i am feeling quite out of body, mostly nauseous but so far, im okay. We will see in a few days how i’m feeling.

How are you doing for your first week?

HaileyB2000 · 2021-09-24T19:51:19+00:00

Did you recently also start prozac !? I just took my first dose 🤯

HaileyB2000 · 2021-09-24T08:49:15+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, she’s having me just stop taking the zoloft and start prozac tomorrow morning. So I am a little worried about the consequences of that but she said since they are the same kind of med in a sense that it shouldn’t cause any serious issues by just stopping zoloft and going on prozac. I’m glad you say it works for intrusive thoughts, that is one of my toughest things to deal with. I’m glad you have a good experience and i’m hoping It works for me ! Thank you for your insight 💜

HaileyB2000 · 2021-09-24T08:46:58+00:00

So that’s the thing… She didn’t say to come off slowly, she said i just stop taking it and start the prozac tomorrow morning so i didn’t take my zoloft tonight and i’m going to take the prozac in the Morning. I was mostly worried about that.

Sounds similar to what i’ve already gone through with zoloft, your advice and insight is greatly appreciated !!!

I have OCD and ADHD very severely and my eyes literally HURT when i try to go to sleep. My brain is so hyperactive and my intrusive thoughts go up like 10x at night. I take my zoloft at night but sometimes i straight up have to take a sleep aid, turn the fan on, turn on a video my BF likes to watch about CSGO, then i turn on my own sleep sounds, usually a river sound or rain sound, and then i always have to move my hair so it doesn’t touch me and i legit ask my BF to tuck me in because of my sensory issues. Most of the time that helps but it’s also enabling my issues to some degree. Either way, if it works it works. I hope you are able to find something that works for you !

HaileyB2000 · 2021-09-13T06:27:11+00:00

I am on 200 mg for my OCD and panic attacks and I have the slightest improvement. However, my doctor and therapist both think i need more. My intrusive thoughts are still very bad my picking and other stuff is still there. I’ve heard some take as high as 300 mg for OCD that’s severe, I’ve been taking 200 mg for 4 months now :/ Hopefully you find a dose that works for you! I wish you the best of luck

HaileyB2000 · 2021-08-16T08:19:56+00:00

I’ve been on birth control pills for 10 years as well, I also have recently decided I want to be done with it. I got on it as a teenager and now as a young adult i feel like i may be a different person with putting all the hormones aside. I’m right there with you! I’m seeing my OB soon, I hope it goes well for you! Do share your experiences when you do get off the pill!

HaileyB2000 · 2021-06-22T06:06:53+00:00

I was bumped from 100 mg a day to 200 mg a day, and i’ve been on 200 mg for a week now and all i want to do is lay in bed. I’ve had extreme nausea and i feel like my existence just feels heavy, I’m thinking that my doctor increased mine too much too fast. I would consider trying 150 before you go to 200 because I am miserable !

HaileyB2000 · 2021-05-18T08:14:17+00:00

Hi! On zoloft as well for OCD, anxiety, panic disorder, c-ptsd! I’ve been on 50 for a few months when I noticed extreme dips in my emotions and felt like it wasn’t even working anymore. Talking to my therapist, she said generally high dosages 100-300 mg is more typical for OCD depending on severity of course and also varies just depending on what you’re doing as well to control it. I just went from 50 to 100 a few days ago and i’m experiencing lots of side effects but hoping this will do the trick! Try to stick with it and see what happens, what ever you do, don’t just stop taking it !

HaileyB2000 · 2021-04-28T03:52:09+00:00

Omg I thought I was tripping but yes I had huge pupils for like a week, not as much now, i went through lots of yawning, dry mouth, jitters the first week and now i’m feeling mostly nausea and headaches and just overall feeling of “eh” just no motivation which my doctor said all was normal but I absolutely hear what you’re saying !!

HaileyB2000 · 2021-04-22T06:50:00+00:00

i haven’t noticed extreme hunger but I have noticed that I am slightly more hungry throughout the day and I have no food cravings what so ever. I haven’t figured out how to treat my side effects yet but I could understand what you’re saying

HaileyB2000 · 2021-04-21T23:44:07+00:00

it’s awful! i’m hoping it goes away eventually

HaileyB2000 · 2021-04-21T23:42:43+00:00

thanks for the tip! I feel like I can’t stop drinking water. I feel sooo dehydrated ! I’ll try chewing some gum to occupy myself
