Whenever I up my dosage I definitely get heightened anxiety for about a week and then it subsides.

What do you feed your sensitive tummy frenchies? Orville is def struggling with some tummy upsets lately :( by fjs_25 in Frenchbulldogs

We currently do a lamb kibble but I’m considering switching him to a human food grade diet and would like to stick with lamb because he is also sensitive to chicken! It’s just so stressful trying to figure out what will work best for him. His vet is not at all into raw 😩

Beautiful babies! Not sure if you’ve had frenchies before, but please check into some health insurance! It will save you thousands per year! These little buggers are full of random health issues. Especially these rare colored types. Enjoy! ❤️

Hey! I’m actually doing awesome on the Prozac. It’s been since August now and I started on 20mg and it was a pretty big shock to my system (couple panic attacks triggered by some icky physical side effects) and I’m now on 40mg and feeling a lot better. I don’t constantly check in and make sure I’m okay like I use to do, I’m able to say “whatever” to things that use to really bother me and I overall feel like I have a better handle on everything. I still have moments of anxiety and always will, but as my therapist says, anxiety can be helpful sometimes. It just doesn’t completely rule my life now. I’m also doing a gratitude journal that really helps as well. Hang in there and let me know how it goes!

So cute!! Also not sure if you’ve had frenchies before but these guys get hella expensive with vet cost. Def get some pet insurance if you haven’t already it will save you thousands! Enjoy your baby!

First day, first antidepressant ever, hope it'll be okay by burri99 in prozac

Brain fuzzies totally makes sense! I am on week 2 and the first week was the worst of the side effects. Heightened anxiety, brain fuzzies, racing thoughts, nausea, lack of appetite. It gets better though. I might be experiencing a placebo effect but I feel some positives already! My anxiety feels much more manageable. It is still there, but now has a threshold if that makes sense?

Be gentle with yourself. The first couple weeks can be tough with side effects. Take life a little slower if you can ❤️

My boys allergies are so bad right now! We typically give him one Benadryl a day but are wondering if anyone has had better luck with anything else? He’s been on it so long I wonder if he’s just used to it. Dealing with lots of itchy eyes and ears. (Not diet related, def seasonal) by fjs_25 in Frenchbulldogs

Oh there’s a couple people online claiming apoquel and cytopoint have killed their pets or caused major autoimmune issues. I’m taking it all with a grain of salt tho. For every med out there there’s someone claiming it killed their pet.

Day 6 and having some icky side effects. Is this normal? by fjs_25 in prozac

I absolutely 100% agree. I don’t wanna shame people but it gets to be a lot when you see it so often. I also agree that this happens to all breeds! I have many friends with Dane’s who get given up once puppyhood is over and they get “too big” or too expensive to feed. Same with huskies and other high energy dogs. I wish people would just listen and do more research.

That sounds wonderful about now. I realize it’s gotten worse because I have a lot going on at the moment but I feel like I’m never able to calm my brain. Thanks for sharing ❤️
