I don't even remember why I stopped prozac. I stopped a couple weeks ago. I guess I thought it wasn't helping but it was, its just very subtle. More interest in things in general. Not as strong as with buspar which makes me wanna clean my room which is a massive undertaking.
Now you got me wondering if I should go back to low doses of prozac with mirtazapine, especially since I've noticed numbness in my left arm and a feeling like I am getting sick for that last few days. If I have to stop it at least I'll have some interest from prozac. I hope my arm numbness is from sleeping on it and the sick feeling is just from germs. I'm getting discouraged and thinking these effects could be some of mirtazapine's rare freaky side effects, peripheral neuropathy and agranulosis. I wonder if starting on 30 mgs was wise? Ugh I hate this confusing sh!t. I just hope this goes away and I can give this med a fair trial. I hope nothing gets worse.
Maybe my arm will feel less tingly as the day goes on.Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
