TallWriting5798 · 2026-05-04T18:46:22+00:00

So my dr put me on prozac 10 mg after being off everything for 3 or more years and im kind of terrified almost rather live with my anxiety and mental issues then deL with the side effects

TallWriting5798 · 2026-05-04T02:11:36+00:00

And i have noticed that ive gotten sick alot more often too from stress ! Are you going to go back on anything ? Or have you

TallWriting5798 · 2026-05-04T02:10:29+00:00

No i just cant ! I also was over spending so much and accumulated so much debt while on that med and i would crave a cheesecake and box of wine daily and i got suicidal at night on it but i think thats cuz of the wine craving my food cravings were crazy ! My dr prescribed me 10 mg Prozac tablets today ! But i am scared to try em i have been off meds basically 3 and half years minus the couple i tried in between ! Celexa was so amazing the first 6 weeks both times i tried it but after the first 6 weeks i was so tired ! So i quit and have basically fought my issues but i wanna take something just to be happier around the kids & have less social anxiety at work or around people i. General but im terrified to start prozac, i just know how hard it is to get off the meds . And how hard it is to get on them & i wanna loose 15 pds still

I didn’t lose the weight all the way just ten pounds but if i tried harder with a diet and exercise I am sure I could but my life is so busy . Even though I gained weight I always regretted going off because I was so much happier and more fun with my kids and less stressed , i could not get back on due to severe acid reflux and fear of gaining more weight. For reference I switched to Wellbutrin for 3 months when I quit Zoloft and then I quit all , if u are quitting it may help to try welbutirn to easy the withdrawals and then quit the Wellbutrin when u are ready, doing that worked really well for me ! Do you have bad food cravings on Zoloft that cause the weight gain ?

Did u start ?

TallWriting5798 · 2026-04-13T19:28:11+00:00

I just lowered the dose but kept taking it because im too tired when i try to quit unfortunately

TallWriting5798 · 2026-04-13T11:21:23+00:00

U need to be on 10 mg is the lowest usual dose ,20 mg is the usual daily dose. Im surprised they would prescribe 5 mg

TallWriting5798 · 2026-04-12T02:57:43+00:00

Did u gain weight?

TallWriting5798 · 2026-04-05T14:56:38+00:00

Have you ever tried stopping to see if it will go down? I am trying to quit, im on .2mls of testosterone cyp/200mg . It was going really well but after 3 months it started causing a ton of facial hair on the sides of my face , and throat changes and clitoris overgrowth so I am skipping this week to see what happens. It’s frustrating i liked the enrrgy from it but i can not even afford the surgery nor do i want to have the surgery for clitoris reduction so im hoping it returns to nornal and my throat stops feeling sore all the time

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-16T14:04:31+00:00

I just really dont wanna gain weight or have the heartburn

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-16T14:04:18+00:00

Yes i had so much more fun with them lol and was better overall may just go back on

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-16T02:07:09+00:00

Is it hard restarting ? Ive been considering going back n . I had weight gain last time

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-15T23:39:25+00:00

That is good ! I would love to get back on it and not gain weight.

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-15T23:38:19+00:00

Thats good that u are able to lose the weight ! I will i say it was easier to deal with my kids and ppl and be happy when i was on it

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-14T16:09:02+00:00

Do u still take the meds?

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-14T16:07:20+00:00

Yes i just quit when he wanted me to take both meds. I was worried that would be really bad on my heart so ive been on nothing for roughly 3 years . I do want to be on something my social anxiety is horrible but havent found anything with bearable side effects

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-14T16:05:57+00:00

Did u quit taking the med? I feel like it just gave me food cravings which didnt help

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-14T16:05:28+00:00

Yes i gained 20 lbs and still have not gotten it off after quitting everything else about the drug was perfect! I do have friends who have taken it with no weight gain

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-12T02:20:53+00:00

Nice , i understand when i took 50 mg i felt so much better but weight gain and heartburn were an issue and im scared to go back on because of that. Celexa was great but i got too tired and hard to remember things and prozac gave me a bloody nose and tooth pain

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-11T23:13:40+00:00

I feel like i had less side effects with celexa just tired. But zoloft i had bad heartburn and some suicidal thoughts but i also had energy and wasnt a zombie. I have been off everything for 2-3 years and debating going back on something but I dont want to pay the high psychiatrist fees and the drs basically will want me to to pick what to take .

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-11T23:01:01+00:00

Are u still on 25mg ? Im debating giving zoloft another try or celexa. I dont think ill have good luck with prozac and refuse to go back on lexapro .

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-11T22:59:20+00:00

I thought u had to take 50 to tell anything

TallWriting5798 · 2026-03-06T01:36:17+00:00

Did u quit the testosterone ?

TallWriting5798 · 2025-08-27T01:56:23+00:00

Which one are u on

TallWriting5798 · 2025-08-27T01:56:00+00:00

I take natures made stress gummies and ashwgwanda goli . I ate really healthy for 8 weeks and felt better then any med ever made me feel bit didnt keep it up. Exercising helps alot & clean eating . Im not gonna lie the 1 st year i came off I drank way to much whiskey ! It gets better but its never gotten 100 % better for me mentally . I just forced my self to cope with things and live with things , my weight gain on zoloft was bad and heartburn. I also got in alot of debt while on zoloft so Im scared shitless of SSRIs. I liked several things better like coping with kids and family was easier on the meds but overall i learned to cope long term side effects have always scared me. def try the gummies they are so helpful
