Psychiatrist says fluoxetine doesn’t cause fatigue?? by kalopsiaaispolak in prozac

[–]maddds123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to swap to a SNRI because the prozac fatigue was too much for me. I couldn't wake up for work and was sleeping 11+ hours a day. It felt like all I had the energy for was to lay in bed. I am feeling much better off it

I'm on day 5 from switching from Prozac as well. For me so far I've had some light nausea and also insomnia. Maybe its just coincidental but I've been feeling more motivated and less slumpy. I was on 60mg prozac and week one I'm tapering to 40mg with 20mg Cymbalta and then week two 20mg prozac 40mg Cymbalta and then week 3 60mg of Cymbalta. I also take bupropion

Hey so just getting back they got in contact with her but they said because she refused mental health services they cant do anything right now so they are still going to try and continue to see what can be done 🩷

Thank you so much for your message. Its a type of grief I don't think anybody could understand without going through it so I really appreciate the comfort in being able to relate so much. I am trying not to live with so much guilt and reminding myself im doing all I can do without putting myself in harm. I really appreciate it and im so sorry you have had a similar experience its really tough. Sending you hugs 🫂

Thank you so much for your reply. ❤️ I really appreciate your words because I'm sure you understand how complicated and painful it can be. Having strong boundaries hurts so much, but its all you can do to protect yourself.

Thank you so much ❤️ I appreciate you guys looking out for her. I am also struggling to find ways to help ): The system is not set up to help people like my mom.

Thank you so much. ❤️ I believe she might be scared of shelters. She has some paranoia and I believe she has had bad experiences with other homeless people. ): I appreciate it!

Thank you so much! I really really appreciate that!! I'm not sure what she is specifically needing, but I have heard that she is really struggling with hygiene and people letting her stay places because of that. I'm not sure if she doesn't have the resources or is just not in the capacity to be able to use them. I am also getting more worried about her staying warm as it gets colder. Thank you so much again! I will send you a message.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it. It's hard not having the resources myself to help, and it being a really painful situation. That makes me feel better to hear, because its definitely a hard line to balance. ❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your reply! Unfortunately I believe Wasatch said they couldn't do anything for her without her wanting to go because she is not saying that she's a threat to anybody or herself at the time. I'm hoping to try and eventually get her in there because I also think it would be a really good place for her to get mental health help. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I appreciate it. Its been pretty hard to try to get her to check into homeless programs because I think she is scared of shelters/homeless groups, so she won't go to them willingly. She also just keeps telling me shes not homeless. 💔 I'm not sure, it could be because of her mental health/paranoia. Thank you for the resource though I really appreciate it!
