HI all :)
I have Struggled with M.E., Severe times of depression, anxiety and Obsessive Thinking (OCD).
After 3 cases of Serotnin Syndome/adverse drug reactions I was taken off my Sertraline and Amitriptyline. Reboxetine and Nortriptyline landed me in the Emergency department. So they slowly started me on Sertraline (Zoloft) again. It helped but after irregular heartbeats they swapped me straight to Prozac. This process has been over 2 1/2 months and has been very hard.
At first after starting the 20mg of Prozac, I felt calmer and happier and the OCD thoughts were better. 3 days on and I feel like I'm not quite real. I am living life through a screen-door. It's not quite what I'd call depersonalisation but halfway there.
I am in some ways quite peaceful and in others just suddenly getting irritable and restless. I suddenly got really uncharacteristically irritated at my husband for singing and wanted to yell or run way.
I have heard from many others that it's worth staying on Prozac as it starts to work after 10 days to a month??
Can anyone help me with their own stories or knowledge please?
Thanks :)
