Absolutly 'saved' by prozac

Posted by 6 underground on September 19, 2007, at 23:03:30

im really in a sitation right now with my friends where i would be just so depressed i would just, really be depressed. Its funny to say but i dont know what it feels like to be depressed anymore.........

Im just disappointed with this situation im in. Im not depressed at all, prozac has been the best medication really not at first, but over time i started noticing how its changed my life patterns. I would be very depressed right now, by friends got a hold of my name here on psychobabble, and they said "why do you post there?" its wierd? i had to explain to them why, and my suicidal thoughts back in 2005. But i mean depression is not even in my emotions anymore. Im still up and believing, that my social stuff with alot of my friends is going to work out, but it just takes some time. If wasnt on Prozac i would be calling the suicide hotline.

Does anyone else have a experience with a medication that has changed there life?

I had that feeling only with tianeptineptine for a short time and with sjw a little longer.Although It was the worst times of my life when I was on sjw I had a feeling like nothing was a problem, I dont know this is so good but I did need that feeling.
How long have you waited for prozac to work and how long has it been working?

well it took, a good several months because i was on it for a year on 20mg........... didnt do much. At all. I started 40mg in 2 months, is much more diffrence, life is fine. I take every morning and im fine, i dont have the plauge of depression anymore, i dont even rerember what it feels like now and i dont want to....either.

I dont feel "emotional". But if i do have feel emotional its not much. My cat died after many years and when he did.........i couldnt feel anything. I did get a little upset but not emotional outburst. (Like a said before antidepressants can increase emotional outbrurst, but it just all depends on what medication and what brain chemistry)

I'd probably have thought life to be hopelessly bad and nihilistic, without any redemption, without hope, without the merciful effects of marijuana. At least it shows mercy, quite unlike many other of the psychiatrist's pharmacokinetic concoctions. Here was something that lifted me up from an existentialist hell, and showed me something I had been too stupid to understand before...

That was a long time ago, now I no longer believe, and so am no longer saved when I smoke. That's the real issue that no drug seems to solve, once you go numb you can't go back. And so I don't feel it anymore, I don't feel the spirituality of it anymore, nor hope of redeeming my soul and being. Now each day it feels I'm rotting, ravaged by some sort of CFS like illness. Perhaps it's just my punishment for not believing anymore?
