After having yet another horrible (agiatation, severe depression,) day on the Adderall and Prozac, I decided that one of the meds must go. Since Prozac was causing weight gain, I voted it off the island. What was the worst thing that could happen, a serious depression? Uh, I have had those for the last week.
Well, I had my most productive day at work and at home.I wasn't manic but I couldn't stop smiling as it felt so good to have feelings again and feel alive. My psychiatrist supports my decision one hundred percent and feels the Prozac will leave my body slowly.
I realize that when the Prozac does finally leave, that things could be different. But I am wondering if I start an extensive exercise program and continously apply the things I have learned while on meds, I might be able to escape with just the Adderall and remeron for sleep?
To be honest, I am scared but also excited at my freedom from antidepressants during the day. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that this works and if it doesn't, that I find an effective treatment.
Thanks
Shirley
