    A week on prozac and I'm calling it off.

    I know it takes awhile to kick in but I have had every single fucking side effect listed from this shit and I'm supposed to be doubling my dose this week lol.

    No thanks. No more demons crawling around my bedroom in my half awake states for me.

    Good news is it got me over the week long no drinking hump that I've struggled to overcome this past year, so hopefully that is enough to get my head somewhat back together.

      Prozac is just the first-line medication, and everyone tolerates it differently. If you can tough it out another week, go for that. If you can't go tell them prozac is hot bullshit and ask for something else. There are umpteen drugs these days and lots of them work on completely different biological paths than Prozac. It's worth sticking with the process until you mind a medicine that does what you want it too.

        Good advice. Yeah I'll be sticking with the process, but no mas on the prozac lol. The side effects are just awful for me. Been tremoring all week and stuck in the bathroom for half of it.
