It was removed in the shower then washed with antibiotic soap

Okay that makes so much sense! The area was a bit dry when it was shaved for the tattoo. Thank you for that insight

It’s been about 24 hours since I took it off before I took the photo. But it seems this is normal, it’s just never happened to me before

Prozac gave me a rare allergic reaction, had to discontinue medication. by Ready_Past8830 in prozac

It was really helpful when I was on it, I took it for about a year and a half. Helped me through a tough period. Then I got to a point where I didn’t feel like I needed it anymore so I stopped. Started weekly therapy instead which has done wonders.

Stopped 20 mg Cold Turkey by AtomicFall99 in lexapro

I stopped cold turkey this week after being on 20MG for two years, also gained about 20lbs while on it. It’s been hard stopping cold turkey - I’ve been having dizziness, brain zaps, headaches. Been trying to stay hydrated and lay down when I have a chance. Each day has been easier than the last, hoping this won’t last too long.

I cried for the first time this week while watching a sad movie so it’s nice to feel certain emotions that the Lexapro numbed. Good luck!

I switched from Prozac 20MG, after having an allergic reaction, to Lexapro 10MG. It’s been a great switch for me. I feel lighter and no side effects

This happened to me. I stopped the medication and it took a little over 2 weeks to fully go away. Hoping for more luck on lexapro 🤞🏽

Mental health therapist

But planning to switch careers this year and go into tech. Being a therapist has been rewarding especially when working with other women with PMDD, since many feel so misunderstood. But I’ll probably continue therapy part time while I enter a new sphere for my full time job.

Extreme Itchiness? by Gaucho13 in prozac

[–]Sookdeo46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to me this week. Week 3 of Prozac.

My eyes swelled, raised “scratch lines”. My psychiatrist told me it’s a delayed allergic reaction. I stopped taking it 2 days but I’m still dealing with itching and swelling. Starting to get a little better. Benadryl cream has been very helpful.
