hey fan-- sorry to hear you're going through such a hard time. i definitely understood the feeling that everything is going wrong at once or just the sense of dread that something bad is going to happen.
as for the prozac, i kind of have a similar experience. i've gotten to the point that most drugs-- especially benzos, stimulants, and sleeping pills-- hardly touch me; nothing really makes me feel anything. but then i added prozac two weeks ago, and even right away at a low dose, i could feel it working. for sure it makes me feel more jumpy and maybe feeling something is enough to make me feel better and more alive and hopeful that something can help me. or maybe it is just an amazing drug for some people. in any case, maybe it's not so important why prozac makes you feel much better and long as it DOES. it's improving your functioning so it's a keeper.
can you decrease or get rid of other meds since prozac is working so well?
keeping you in my thoughts,
CB
