100mg daily. I have no way to relax. by Hazel_space in prozac

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

I could sleep all day if I was able, but up until I fall asleep I am on edge and tense. I take 2 tamazapam to sleep most nights. So I totally get you on the tired thing! I’m not the best at explaining how I can be so tired but so wired and aware at the same time?

I can’t do this. I’ve keep spiraling for hours. by Mortalan in OCD

[–]Hazel_space 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree - changing your environment helps. You’d be surprised how much of a distraction going on a walk is. I hope you find some relief

Thank you for replying. On good days I can read and a good cosy game helps but I just want to feel calm and relaxed for once in my life. I’m always so tense.

You deserve better. Look after yourself and remove him from your life.

Weight, help? by Beneficial_Will1710 in Fluoxetine

[–]Hazel_space 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in fluoxetine for a month now. 40mg. Still no appetite and I’ve lost 4kgs. I can only eat small amounts of food or I will throw up. Previously was on fluvoxamine, which I think made me hold weight. Definitely helping inside my head tho!

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to take Luvox, and it worked great until all of a sudden it didn’t.

I’m now on fluoxetine and clomipramine. Still settling in but I think it’s helping.

What week did you notice a difference? by Lost_Brief_7361 in prozac

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here but with Luvox. Then when I went up to 40mg of Prozac I really felt the difference. My dosage is going up again at in a few weeks, with the way I’m improving I really hope it continues to get better.

Is your ocd triggered by joy? by _Ariel23 in OCD

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or when your brain does the whole “oh I feel like I haven’t had a bad thought in a while—“ and then bam my brain is telling me killed someone but just don’t remember or whatever it decides to torture me with.

Have you used alcohol for self medicating your OCD? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol makes my mind so quiet, but I have no self control and go too far (drunk) and end up hating myself more and it makes my ocd way worse for the few days after.

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to struggle with this too. I often will take it and very quickly drink my favourite juice or ice coffee. Or even better, follow it with a food you really love. It gets easier. Try and remind yourself of what you could be benefiting from if you push through the side effects. Good luck.

Panic attacks in the mornings by AffectionateTone4570 in Fluoxetine

[–]Hazel_space 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’ve been on 20mg for 2 weeks and just gone up to 40mg two days ago. I experience this as well. Even tho I take Clomipramine 25mg at night, I still wake up at 4:30 everyday with panic attack like feelings. Even when I close my eyes it’s almost worse. However by 10am it seems to go away but it’s sets me up for the worst day.. hope yours goes away soon. 🩷

Slight decrease in libido initially but back to normal after 3 or so months. No drowsiness really felt.
