Hey guys... this is kind of a vent and a plea for advice
I've had an absolutely great day today. It was a hwole 10 minutes before I did myself an injury....
Today, after only being out of bed for an hour, I managed to finish up with a trapezius injury (I sniffed too hard apparently) and has resulted in me being put in a soft neck brace for the next week. Woohoo! But on the upside... because I was in pain, they sent me in to see the doctor pretty much right away, which gave me the chance to talk to him about my depression (I'd been trying to get an appointment for the last three weeks for that) He has referred me to a therapist so that I can talk out all of my issues and deal with them thoroughly AS WELL AS prescribe me prozac. He decided that because I was feeling some benefit form the St Johns Wort, it would be a good idea for me to have something a little stronger because my seratonin levels are erratic. He thinks that once those are stable, my therapy will be easier and more productive. I just wanted to know about any side-effects you guys have had with prozac, because I know there are a few people here who have taken, or are taking, it. This is a milder dose, and it's non-habit forming, so I've got that in my favour - and at the moment I have to say I'm feeling a bit giddy. That could be the painkillers though for my neck, back and shoulder!! Any advice would be more than welcome because this is very new territory for me and to be honest, I'm a bit scared
And by the way, thanks a lot
you've always been there to listen and offer a shoulder for me - I just want you all to know it's very much appreciated!
