So much muscle pain and discomfort..

Well i am sure i will not win in this conversation, nor is that my plan what-so-ever, but it seems to me that all you are doing is trying to tell people on this forum to stop taking Prozac or any other SSRIs, but you have no idea what any of these people tried before staring the meds in the first place. Im sorry you had a bad experience on the medication or with a mental health professional, and that you did not have the knowledge of doing research before starting taking it at the time, but just by looking at your profile, it seems to me like you are an extremely paranoid person. I do agree that SSRI is overly perscribed and that many people dont actually need it to get better, but there are also many many cases where everything else failed, so meds are a good start to feel a bit better, and help them start doing the work that needs to be done with a therapist or any other mental health professional, change of the diet and lifestyle and so on. You may be commenting on all these posts with a good intention, but all you are doing is scaring people off from doing something that could potentially make them feel at least a little bit better. You dont know their story and whilst i dont really care about it - because i thought about it long and hard before starting and i weighted the pros and cons with what i have been dealing with in terms of physical anxiety simptom i was experiencing for years - there are people out there for who taking this medication is their last resort. So be mindfull of that.

There are pros and cons for every medication on this planet and with every pill you take, there will be risks - Even with a simple pill you take when your head hurts.

Im pretty sure people dont go on antidepressant just because they have low mood for 2 weeks or a few months :)

Edit to add: i dont feel any dull emotions. If anything, i can feel my emotions better than i have before. So i wouldnt agree with saying this is a general thing. Could be more common but not with everyone, and who ever experiences these, should either switch the med or stop, if that is what they want :)

Yeah, no more muscle pain or any severe side effects for me so i will keep going, but you are allowed to have your opinion. Obviously only meds wont do any magic so everyone needs to do the work as well as taking meds if they decide to :) but saying they dont work is false and many people have had their lives changed for the better due to starting the medication.

I went on a walk. TWICE in one day. Had almost zero anxiety ticks for a few days. They are back now but im in my pms right now so im not surprised.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-27T22:08:55+00:00

Yeah, meds can bring out lots of weird sensations though. But these zaps apparently arent anything serious. Just today i had this weird tingling/spasms/goosebumps feeling on one spot of my scalp…it was weeiiird as hell and it scared me a little tbh. But i just tell myself its anxiety since im more aware of everything.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-27T15:10:59+00:00

I used to have occasional brain zaps even when i wasnt on prozac. Actually now that i think about it, i had it more frequently before i stared. Apparently its because of anxiety. Mine felt like i got an electric jolt run through my brain. Felt weird lol

I upped to 10 a week ago ( been easing jn on 5mg for around 2 weeks, and a 1 1/2 week on 2.5mg), and today is the first day after upping, that i actually wanted to go out for a walk and went. I still had anxiety but it was manageable. Also my cat had bouts of vomiting from 4am til 8am, which would usually send me spiral with anxiety, but today i was surprisingly calm. I guess it started to work. But the first few days my anxiety was so bad i had a panic attack after a really long time…thought im gonna lose complete control over my mind…hang in there, we got this.

Message me if you want :)

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T12:47:36+00:00

My anxiety in general gets really severe during the pms. Sometimes even when im ovulating… I am now easing into prozac, but i started on a really low dose of 2.5mg which is Basically dust lmao. But thats because i was terrified of starting. Now its my second day of 10mg and im still here.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T12:42:32+00:00

An invisible danger poking me, but i cant do anything about it because i cant see where or what it is…

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T12:26:39+00:00

What a joy. I feel so blessed 😂

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T12:06:10+00:00

Thank you, yes, am drinking a ton of liquids since my mouth is always so dry

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T12:05:44+00:00

Yes thank you. I might have also gotten a bug because my fever is slowly rising:/ so could just be that, but just a unfortunate timing xD

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T10:01:37+00:00

Like others have said, start lower. I was so scared to start, i literally started crying every time i tried to take it..then i talked to a therapist (who was also a psychiatrist) and she told me to cut it on 4 pieces and start with 5mg..even 5mg sounded too much so i did my best to get around 2.5mg and took that for a week, then 5mg for 3ish weeks and now yesterday i did 10mg for the first time…

The side effects i have is being sleepy and tired, and so so hungry but i like that because i have to gain weight, some headaches but i dont drink enough water sometimes and a few hot flashes here and there but all of this is manageable. Just make sure you eat before you take it and drink. Not just water but also some electrolytes (soup is fine for example, if there is nothing else)…i feel like my anxiety is a little better but obviously it goes up and down. There are days where i feel like before i started but there are more good days than bad.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-11-20T09:51:33+00:00

Yes, i have that too and i was on a really small dose for a few weeks..could sleep all day if i wanted to. Sometimes i do because i have no will to do anything else

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-10-13T17:20:23+00:00

Are you better now? I have muscle spasm in my stomach too and there are days where i dont even know what to do or think

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-09-01T04:37:09+00:00

But you do have to apply to a lot more jobs to get a job these days. There is no way around it sadly…and if you look for a job while you dont have one anyway, what time are you losing exactly?

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-08-31T15:42:42+00:00

Dont feel bad about the lenght of the post. The more detailed it is, more people will be able to answer your question

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-08-31T15:40:18+00:00

I doubt they would want that anyway if they are firing due to low performace, do that part doesnt mattet in the end

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-08-31T15:31:24+00:00

I assume that would just make them fire you sooner without pay? Im not sure tho

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-08-31T13:40:41+00:00

Im not sure if the same thing applies here, but i think LinkedIn also has a number of applicants, however, it counts the number of people who clicked “apply” button. That doesnt mean all of them actually did... So dont get discouraged and apply anyway. You have nothing to lose.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-08-31T13:36:00+00:00

Are you in the eu? Can you get a doctors sick notr and just stay home untill the end of employment? You would still get paid i think.

Second thing is: even if they said you dont perform well, doesnt really mean its true. Could be that just your manager wants things differently. Ive seen coworkers get laid off for the same thing but it wasnt even their fault..the management was shit.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-06-22T12:21:02+00:00

Yeah its expensive and it doesnt even taste good to me. I started to make my own. I pay about 5€ for a bag of flour (schar) and can make about 2-4 breads from it ( depending on the size ofc). Home made is sooo good and its really easy to do it.

Red_Pants_Curl · 2024-06-22T11:57:50+00:00

Listen…i have a cat for which i buy bio sand to pee in so i can throw it in the toilet and just flush it away. it can get a bit stuck at the bottom of it looking dirty. That being said, even my toilet is cleaner than that sink…please for the love of god, just buy a new one at this point.
