> Good luck with it.My nurse practitioner said once a day in the morning. But, I have read that it can fade out or only last a few hours, and from what I have read many people take it two or three times a day to space it out. I'm just trying to avoid a crash.
So far today, I've had more energy and been able to talk to people easier. I do have a headache though. Don't know if that's from the prozac or adderall since I just restarted prozac today too after several months off it. My appetite was a lot less today too, which is great after putting on 50 lbs in six months on paxil. I can tell the adderall is fading now because I'm starting to get hungry.
Does the headache go away? Why did you discontinue it? I'm really hoping this isn't one of those drugs that your body gets used to and then it stops working.
By the way, I'm taking it for social anxiety and tiredness, no energy and low motivation.
Any comments are welcome.
Also, both target and wal-mart have generic prozac and paxil on their $4 prescription list, which is right about what I can afford (I'm a student and not working this semester). It's not in all states yet, but it is in florida and indiana and several other states. Walmart's website has info on it.
