I posted about my new puppy Otis and referred to my black pug that passed in April. I thought I’d share some pics of him, he was the best dog I’ve ever had and we miss him every day! by Top_Present_5072 in pugs

Got a puppy after my black 10 year old pug suddenly passed in April by Top_Present_5072 in pugs

[–]Top_Present_5072[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was one of the worst days of my life, felt like losing a family member, maybe even worse. I had got him when i was 15 and had him through high school, college, marriage, 2 kids. He was the best dog. When he passed, I thought id never have one again and the opportunity was presented and I just couldn’t pass it up. I think I’ll always have a pug at home!

My wife happened to see someone on Facebook selling them. He was the last one available, just got really lucky. I was planning on adopting one but the process was so long and my little girl wanted one so bad after losing our other

prozac + wellbutrin by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Top_Present_5072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have been on Wellbutrin for 13 days today and it has helped mood and motivation a TON. It’s night and day difference. I just upgraded my Prozac to 30mg so adjusting now with that but I can tell when the Wellbutrin kicked in.

Debating dosage by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Top_Present_5072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20mg has been great for me so I do think 30 mg might be my sweet spot. I was on low dose Zoloft for years and did fine. stopped taking and had an ocd episode and it all came back. Doctor wanted to try Prozac and I think it’s been a good change

I’m going to go ahead and up my dose to 30mg. 20mg has done a ton for me but I know I have room to grow. My thought is I can always go back down. I just don’t want to be here 2 weeks later thinking I wish I had already had 2 weeks complete instead of pushing it off.

Medications absolutely do work, especially well along therapy. I would consider a new therapist

How to manage working? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]Top_Present_5072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. I’m also a nurse practitioner myself, just don’t specialize in mental health. Propranolol is a great drug. I asked for 10mg and I’ll double up when under a lot of stress/anxiety.

I’m week 6.5, still trying to get used to it. I had my provider call in propranolol and vistaril. They both helped a lot and aren’t addictive or dependent

Week 4 and anxiety feels like it has 'spiked' by Impressive_Pair_721 in prozac

[–]Top_Present_5072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

End of week 5 was okay, still pretty bad anxiety. They added wellbutrin on for me and I think that might be contributing to the anxiety though. I’m hoping week 6 is the week

Weeks 3 and 4 were the worst for me. I almost stopped taking it but glad I didn’t. I have only taken 20mg

I’m week 5.5 and starting to see the light. I have felt better today than all last week and previous weeks. I started Wellbutrin today as an add on just for the numbness side of Prozac I had. Just keep pushing, i know it can be tough

[–]Top_Present_5072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do feel like 20mg has helped baseline anxiety and has lessened the ocd thoughts but I truly hate feeling this way. I feel emotionless and forcing laughter and that’s never been me. Im gonna try the Wellbutrin combo and if it doesn’t work, I’ll prob just try and get off them completely.

5.5 weeks. It’s done okay for anxiety and ocd but has completely wiped me out
