I took 20 as a teenage but I dont' think I could tolerate it now. I took 5mg every other day last year and started noticing an increase in motivation and interest after 28 days. Last year I also experienced headaches, sexual dysfunction, and diarrhea. Since then I have taken Remeron, Adderall, and Tianeptine. Now 5 mg every other day feels like nothing except I get minor headaches. I increased it to 5mg every single day and the headaches have gone away, not gotten worse. Also since that last increase I noticed I don't get these thoughts like I want to die as much. However anhedonia is still present.I'm gonna be seeing a new Pdoc this Friday. I really don't know if I should do anything at all at this point. Maybe give it more time on its own? But I already made the appointment and I am a bit skeptical it will be enough for my anhedonia on its own.
How did you end up disabled from taking prozac. For me, the problems started after stopping the drug. It was at that point the bizarre thoughts occurred and the atrocious memory loss and impairment in concentration began. Now that I am on it, I am feeling a bit more level headed. Maybe its because I'm gonna be seeing a new doc and my first assignment is done for my class, that I am feeling a bit calmer, but I think it could be there really is something to this serotonergic theory of depression.
