Prozac might not be for me- New levels of crazy

femmegem

I've been on Prozac for my depression and anxiety since January and I'm starting to think I might need to try something else. While it's helped me in some ways (I haven't pulled a crazy Mommie Dearest-type freak out on DS in a few months) I am starting to realize my low-level stress is perhaps worse than it was before. And that's saying a lot.

I'm constantly worried lately to the point where I'm having to consciously unclench my jaw and most of the time I don't even know what I'm worried about. I have to stop and think to identify what's stressing me out so much.

It's to the point where if DH doesn't put a dish in the dishwasher I have to stop myself before I lose it on him about it. It's a whole new level of crazy that I don't think I've experienced before.

Anyone have an anti-anxiety med that works for them? I think I have to go back in to see my doctor and have him prescribe me something else. I can't live like this.

that sounds so hard, L!  I'm sorry.  :::hugs::: I hope that you can get everything sorted out, I would for sure talk to your doctor.

You sound like me.  I have been through this with several meds.  It seems like it works for a while then I need to increase the dose or get something else.  I go bat sh*t crazy just at the sound of Patrick simple eating.

I take Xanax for anxiety, and it has worked wonders for me.  Within a week even my mother commented on how much I had changed.  I relaxed alot about dd and little things that bothered me.  I am actually going to talk to my dr next week about Cymbalta, because I think I need more of a combo drug for anxiety/depression.  I tend to be very down on myself.

I take Paxil and I have done ok on it, sometimes I feel like I need something stronger, but I have Xanax. My Dr wont prescribe more than 2 refills of Xanax because of its addictive qualitites.

I know what you mean, completely. I am on Lexapro and have Xanax, as needed (which is not a lot). I have noticed a big difference. I never realized how bad I was before the meds. GL!
