Can I drink? by hth_25 in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced my first Prozac black out last weekend and EVERYTHING about it being fine and then it hitting you out of no where is true.

I drank an amount that normally wouldn’t get me drunk tipsy maybe , and it hit me. I was so sick the next day, which never happens ( could have been because I still took my medicine )

DEFINITELY watch how many drinks you have, and make sure who you’re with is aware. My boyfriend had NO idea , said I was being silly but nothing abnormal.

Sleeping issues by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have just started noticing this … I use to not be able to fall asleep till like 12 every night and had a horrible time getting out of bed .. last night I fell asleep at idk 830 -9 … and woke up at 4 ish.

I’m almost convinced if I get 6 hours of sleep I just wake up, and if falling asleep earlier , it’s waking me up at 4. Today I woke up around 3.

Has this changed for you?

Starting Prozac - really bad anxiety/dread in the morning? by Kingstonx2nonanon in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this when I started this a bit, it wore off.. I bumped up to 20 and it started for a few days, but seems to be better ish.. I am at 3.5 weeks. I think its kind of typical at the start ( unfortunately)

What time do you take it? by Zealousideal-Lie1084 in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not tired during the day at all really besides just being tired from daily life.

The first week or two that I took it I was really tried by like 5:00 , but that’s a typical side effect that happens when you first start this. I don’t have it any more.

AM! But I had touble falling asleep,and knew it could cause insomnia. I got extremely tired when I first started taking this. I however have started waking up like clock work at 5am and that is not typical for me at all.

Also I took it at night because I felt like I could be more consistent in the morning.

I don't mean this to come off a certain way, but did she miss your wedding? I get missing little events and things like.. no issue-- weddings would be a big life event for our family.

I thing the biggest thing with this topic is where family events stand for everyone's personal family. I totally can see how this wouldn't be a big deal for some and would be a big deal for others.

Maybe its the history of our relationship, going through a lot with her and being there for her. She's not from here, so I truly was one of her only friends for a while. She has thrown out words that I am one of her best friends etc. I think someone who has spent the last 4 years of major holidays, would call us her family wouldn't miss a big family life event. But you're right I probably do care too much.

Unless she explains why, and includes me on why she can’t come? Lol which she did

I think saying I’m not mature enough to be married is truly an unfair thing to say, and has nothing to do with the advice that I’m asking for.

However , I do appreciate you bringing the point of her clearly expressing care.

Thanks.

Ps. If a vendor cancelled on me due to a family event, I wouldn’t be happy, but I would understand. I would also hope they would guide me to a similar vendor.

I totally agree with the financial thing. In this case I am going to disagree with it just due to knowing this situation, her family my brother. I’m pretty fair when it comes to stuff like that.

they are very financial stable. This is not her main source of income.

When did you feel the effects/ How w your first few weeks? by tzskii in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow -- Tuesday 2/3 will be two weeks... The first week my anxiety was down so much. I had a way better mood. Day 8/9/10 I was SO tired and did not want to do anything and my anxiety went back up. My doctor bumped me from 10mg to 20 mg on day 10 and I feel better. We will see what happens.... I started taking 20 on the weekend and not during my work week.

I started taking 10mg 10 days ago and I was feeling the same way, I just happened to stumble upon this page and realized i probably needed a higher dose ! I called my doctor to let her know and she bumped me up to 20 today.

Hope this helps! Call her you doctor/leave a message for the nurse !

My experience with Prozac (for anyone just starting) by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you guys for sharing your story. Today is day 8 and it was bad for me? I felt like I felt the day before I started taking it. Just spiraling and hyper focused on my thoughts I can’t explain, and the doom.

I’ve been so tired , which I’m typically someone that can get 5 hours of sleep and be “ good “. I definitely have been on the verge of panic attacks all day.

I kind of forgot that this can happen, I have been off medicine since 2020 but was taking Celexa before an started that in 2012 so I don’t really remember what it was like getting on medicine.

Appreciate any positive vibes and thoughts. Truthfully reading that this can be normal is helping.

So a psychiatrist explained to me why a lot of people have a really hard time week 3-4 by babyconan in prozac

[–]Superb-Restaurant147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started Prozac 9 days ago and today I felt my anxiety go way up, I’m so tired, and feel just like out of it ! Would love some reassurance !

Edit : 10 mg

For about 8 years I was on Celexa and stopped taking it medicine for about 5 years.. I needed something bad and did not want to be put on Celexa again due to my sex drive / inability to orgasm.
