Does Prozac stunt growth? I was on it a loooong time during high school and didnt grow at all on it... theres some stuff on google about it stunting growth, did anyone take this while still growing?
@TheMyVew no dont put that on yr CV!!! You dont need to disclose that only. If you are require to complete a occupational health form then yes you need to put depression, but if its just a normal cv you dont have to put that
Thanks. I'm sorry to hear that things aren't getting better for u. It seems that GPs just tend to describe medication, but cos i was a teen they try different things like CBT and occupational therapy- i did those & that did help. GPS don't speicalise in depression, but i got to see mental health nurses, psylogists and they do. but GP just tend to think medication and then increase it if u don't get better. I hope u feel a bit better soon
Yes, SSRI`s : Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors. You`ll learn about these on your nursing course. They`ve done me no good at all. I`m taking 40 mg, OD and still feel like Hell on Earth.
Hi lostwsawyer246. I began on 20mg about 3 months / 12 weeks ago. A month back it was increased to 40mg. And I was aslo commenced on propranolol ( beta blocker ) a month back. And things are as bad as they ever were - if not worse. I`m going back to see my GP on Monday, and I think she`ll prescribe me a different type of antidepressant. I`ve been diagnosed with severe depression.
i'm not sure. i tried to cut down and i started feeling a LITTLE bit bad, so i thought i'm not cutting down to feel depressed again to be told to start taking my medication. i'm really well now but i would hate to get how i was before, so i just want to keep taking them,.
