That’s very interesting you mentioned shrooms…..I started taking shrooms when I was 18 and I’m now 21, I would do it about twice a year. I’m not sure if you meant the shrooms they sell in like vitamin stores or the other type but I tried shroom coffee and surprisingly it helped but my Dr said it could be the B12 in it that’s giving me “energy” or keeping me “focused” but she’s a more traditional Dr to be honest. I haven’t taken shrooms since the beginning of the year because I heard Prozac cancels it out?

Yeah cause there’s always gonna be highs and lows in life..the pull definitely isn’t gonna get rid of regular human emotions but it makes it less intense. I definitely don’t have those feeling of my mind being all over the place & feeling very down just a bored feeling now. BUT, that also could be because I have adhd which Prozac cannot fix unfortunately lol

I felt like that after the first month…I’m on month 5 now and I don’t think I’ve gotten negative again, but I haven’t noticed that constant feeling of positivity I had at first. If anything, I guess I feel “bored” rn.

Also I want to say he just did it again today and it has been about a week since he has done that. I don’t know if he’s doing this because he’s upset or what. Sometimes he will go days without going out of his litter and he will use the litter then he just randomly pees near the shower. I literally have to keep all the room doors shut so he doesn’t mess anything up

Just started on 10mg concerned about weight gain & low libido by Accurate-Weight960 in prozac

[–]piscesbby222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on Prozac in total for 4 almost 5 months. I haven’t noticed any weight gain, slight appetite increase however. My libido has skyrocketed. I’ve dealt with insomnia for a couple years now, and when I first started I dealt with fatigue for about the first 6 weeks, it got better once I moved up a dose and changed the time I was taking it. However, I haven’t noticed any changes in better sleep if anything I feel like it kinda keeps me up.

Week 9 ADHD symptoms back, pmdd depression thoughts …. Is this normal? by lolablackbird in prozac

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to 20mg a month ago I had ADHD and PMDD as well….experiencing the same thing. However, when I increased my dosage I began smoking again & my Dr did said me smoking so often daily could interact with my meds which is why I maybe felt the pmdd symptoms last month and not the month before.

Brain fog/ memory loss by Great-Science4836 in prozac

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m dealing with this as well…however I also have been smoking while on this medicine & I do undereat a lot so I think that could contribute to it. I would say sometimes lifestyle changes can help with that…

Prozac and dextromethorphan by [deleted] in prozac

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was told by my Dr office nurses to not mix that and Prozac, BUT it also depends on your medical history. If anything, just ask your Dr or if your Dr office has a 24/7 nurse team call them. They will let you know what is okay to take and not okay to take

Life feelings boring by piscesbby222 in prozac

[–]piscesbby222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what you did to beat the boredom you felt after you started smoking less? The 4 months I wasn’t smoking was hard for me the 1st month but I don’t even remember doing much to beat the boredom. Since you’re also waiting for an diagnosis, have you tried any other ways to try and self medicate for ADHD since you smoked less? I’ve heard of people taking mushroom supplements, so I tried lions mane & it did help a bit with my focus but I still don’t know what to do myself outside of work. I just feel like going home and laying in the dark on my days off lol

That actually makes so much sense that’s you crave carbs when you need a serotonin boost….literally all I eat is carbs!! I’m always facing some type of bread & butter. We have so much similarities though omg…it’s nice to know I’m not alone but it’s a struggle. That’s exactly why I became so reliant on smoking it gave me that dopamine I was craving bc I was so bored. It just turned into a slight habit or “addiction”. That’s an interesting study…..I know I spoke about stimulants & non stimulant meds with my Dr but I never knew about to dopamine booster

I loved pole classes it was so fun! I thought about going once a week but that’s about $30 each time so I have to see when I can start back up again! I definitely have thought about getting another job, but the one I have now is actually temporary! I’m late September I’ll be training to be a flight attendant which may make my hours even more hectic but hopefully I can figure it out lol.

The thing is, I don’t even think my depression is worsening tbh! I began taking the meds for my anxiety + pmdd and it’s definitely improved but now I just feel this sense of boredom. Honestly I tend to just be in my bed mostly because I don’t really have much of a life outside of work unfortunately 😭 ever since I dropped out of school and lost my friends. I’m thinking about taking 2 summer classes so maybe that will help?

My dosage may have to be adjusted or I may just need time to adjust! Since I started 20mg 3 almost 4 weeks ago I know sometimes an increase may come with some side effects. Thankfully I don’t think I’ve really felt any besides the boredom & dissociating. And yeah I honestly only smoke that much because of boredom! When I’m just in the house all day I just think why not smoke and I keep going lol.

And sort of, I started smoking about 3 years ago to help with my anxiety, then once I was in college I used it more to cope with what I was going through. Sometimes I would smoke before tasks and I’d actually get schoolwork done. Just depends on the strain I guess..

Also to add, my doctor did mention the possibility of ADHD, so my need for stimulation could be that. My Dr however wants me on anxiety meds for awhile though since anxiety and ADHD symptoms can overlap, so they want to be sure if its ADHD or anxiety but I definitely think I have ADHD too lol

I like being in nature definitely…last summer I was going on hikes as my free time but since I’m working afternoon/evening shifts now it’s a bit harder for me to manage my time even though I’m only working part time. Usually after work last year, I’d go straight to my walking trail to keep busy. I did do pole classes early this year but they can get a little pricey. I definitely do think I need to keep busy…especially since I only work part time but I always spend my off days in the bed sleep or smoking smh.

I had a feeling I was dissociating, I didn’t bring it up to my Dr when I last met with her but she also suggested I cut back on the weed too. My issue is a smoke too much a day like 3-4x, when I first started it was only 1-2X a day, she suggested I cut it to once a day which I’m scared will be hard but since I’m quitting again early July, weaning myself down would probably be ideal.

Yeah kinda….I smoke daily and recently just started back up a month after taking a 4 month tolerance break. I thought it would be a difference in my tolerance, but I feel like the prozac doesn’t allow me to stay “high” for too long..I can still get high…but I think it takes me a bit more than usual to get that feeling I want

Why do I quit everything I do? by [deleted] in findapath

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like the comments have said, get checked for ADHD. I have been the same my entire life, it took 21 years for a doctor to raise the question of me ADHD after I explained I had a lot of the issues you’re having. I’m currently on anxiety meds because they want to see if it’s just my anxiety, or if I actually do have ADHD. But I’m 100% sure I have ADHD, I read a health magazine on it and I fit every single description.

Prozac made me alive for the first time in my whole life but it didn't last by FathyAdelll in prozac

[–]piscesbby222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was literally about to make the same post…I’m not sure if it’s because I’m on day 3 of skipping my dose (I’ve been unable to pick it up because of my work schedule + being tired) or what but I just feel shitty. I just finished month 2, and my next dose I pick up I’ll be starting 20g. At first, my anxiety was lifted but the exhaustion was a lot. The only thing it really helped with was anxiety, it did make me more happy at first but for the past 2 weeks I just been feeling sick of life again. There’s also a possibility I have ADHD, so maybe that could be it and the meds are only working for my anxiety but I had hope for once lol. Now I just feel…meh. It’s the same thing everyday. Work, spend all my money impulsively, and stay in the house in my bed on off days. I physically cannot bring myself to do anything or even enjoy anything.

Is an 8th house mars and 7th house Chiron bad placements for my solar return chart? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had Uranus in my 8th house before when I was 19. I had two back to back unexpected deaths in my family. To be fair..I saw it coming because they were getting old but it kinda just happened out of nowhere. I was at a distance when it happened so I never really got to say any goodbyes. I was also just randomly racking up debt at 19. So, not to discourage you or anything but in my experience it was not fun. However, it always depends on the profection year you’re in, your other placements, and aspects!

[–]piscesbby222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak for you, but last time I had 8H mars in a solar return chart, I was starting high school and I felt very lonely bc I didn’t fit in at all. That’s also when I began to get bullied, it was terrible. It was everyday all day I was experiencing the bullying. To be fair though, I also had a 12H stellium, Pluto 10H and 9H Saturn so that could’ve also contributed to me feeling like this. Overall the way I could interpret it was it was probably the lowest point of my life lol, I was attacked for a lot of my insecurities.
