im on prozac been on it for four weeks now and has made me loose my appetite completely i hate it! I feel so weak because i literaly cant eat anything. Plus it makes me feel so dizzy and tired . When do these side affects end?
Fluxantin (fluoxetine hydrochloride) was the worst of SSRI's for me. The other two being citalopram and escitalopram. I saw your review on Cipralex. Obviously these drugs are not "fine-tuned", it depends so much on the individual brain chemistry etc. of the person. Fluxantin gave me the worst sexual side effects. Cipramil (citalopram) and Cipralex made me uninhibited and unempathetic. They did "brighten" my life momentarily though. For my brain escitalopram was the most sophisticated.
Ive been taking Prozac for about 1 week, about to bump up to 20mg in a one more day. I have had some of the most psychotic and some of the most euphoric moments on this medicine. Overall, so far it works really well and I expect it to get better. I take it for social anxiety and PTSD.
hey. you said about stomach upset. im taking prozac for irritable bowel syndrome as it is supposed to help ion some cases and ive found my stomach is the same if not worse but ive only been taking it for two weeks. do you think if i keep going this may stop as i've heard the full effects of prozac are best felt after 4ish weeks. thanks
I took Prozac to the point of almost cutting my wrists, which normally I would never do, After doing research on this drug I found that it's one of the worst antidepressants for causing suicide. Look up- Joseph T. Wesbecker he was on Prozac for instance.
Prozac was the only medicine that actually worked for me without killing my lust for life. Very effective but as with all these meds, you need to be very careful and trust your instincts.
Don't always believe the doctors as they "are not taking the damn things", if you dont feel better after 3-4 weeks of starting then dont just accept "to up the dose". Ask to get changed onto another one.
Believe me, after 10 years of being on one med after another, they can do as much damage as good.
to adam have to be medicated all your dan life our the last 68/100 of it the last 68% is fucken annoying. The only medicine I want to take are tegertol flexofidine then my sleeping medicine. But until my body weight gets more stable and my stuff gets lets liquidy. I'm stik on all these stupid vitamins that my parents are forced to pay for because I don't make enough at my job to cover more then.
maybe 25 to 70% of my monthly expenses. The remaining the remaining 20 to 45% my parents our the state of Wisnconsin has to cover. It's better then them have to pay everything I guess.
the top medicine to avoid depending on hierty and other variables.
Abilify maybe my stress levels anxiety and verbal agressive ness 2 to 50 times worse then it had been prior. It also maybe me slight fatter and more out of shape. Zeprax if your austic avoid this at all cost is for biopolar people. It gaves me severe head abnd other body pains and I had massive insomia periods on it.
Did you get a euphoric high when you starting taking the prozac, I ask as this is what happened to me, and did you get strange thoughts. like drink bleach was ok?
you look different (behaviour wise) from your first video. are you on the med in this video? the other one you seem calmer or less agitated? sorry im not judging or anything. im starting my fluoxitine tomorrow for anxiety and moderate depression and im scared senseless of becoming agressive (i work with small babies in sole charge) or becoming more depressed or anxious (trust me my anxiety cannot get any worse or im screwed) thanks for the vids, its quite informative!!
I also found that Fluoxetene Prozac) was the best SSRI. It was the last one I tried. I guess you could say it was a last resort for me. It ended up working quite well with my brain. It was just right for me. I liked it more than Zoloft and I liked it a whole lot more than Paxil. And it is better than a tricyclic antidepressant such as Trazodone because it does not make you so very tired like Trazodone does. It also works nicely in combination with Seroquel or other atypical antipsychotics.
I'm currently on fluoxetine and its been the best SSRI for me, it helps loads with low mood and anxiety, along with 2.5mg of Lorazepam during the day (as required) 10mg of Nitrazepam and Zolpidem at night.
Dude I think all you need is Cannabis.I would atleast try it once and see what it does for you.You are a guinea pig for these pharmacuetical company's.God knows what these meds do to you in the long run.Marijuana is natural and there is better ways to ingest it then burning/smoking it.Vaporization,fusing it with a lipid and something like mint oil extract,or lemon,vanilla.Dr.s can be nothing but pill pushers.I think people have the ability to treat themselfs with their own backyard pharmacy.
@demmylowther "Marijuana is natural" - So are things like arsenic, plutonium, Adenium obesum and deadly nightshade.... Sure it might help and it might be natural but don't go round fucking telling people to do it. You are not a doctor, just because you don't understand how certain drugs work doesn't mean doctors don't either. Sure, long term there might be issues but the benefits to a patient far outweigh any of the shortcomings for many who take it. Absolute idiot.
Judging by the single posts of you and demmylowther alone, I'd have to say you're the idiot. He was spot on about guinea pigs. You trust doctors? Ever heard of "phase IV"? Awaiting disillusionment. Go read a book, the fact that doctors actually DO NOT know all the consequences that these drugs have on your nervous system is all over the place. All you need to achieve is a basic level of understanding of and the following appreciation for the complexity of the brain.
@CorneliusFractogram - A doctor still knows more about the subject than an idiot on youtube. What is more they are more equiped to investigate, test and monitor the consequences. Idiots on youtube are not. The original argument went something like "marijuana is natural therefore......." which is a stupid argument as i pointed out, i also note that this was pretty much the object of my post, if that is stupid or idiotic to you then so be it. I will just add you to the ever growing list of idiots.
Actually the truth isn't so simple. The doctor has to know AND care. Many doctors just don't give a shit, I would know. If you find a good doctor, good for you, but I advice everyone NOT to blindly trust a doctor's word but rather educate yourself on whatever it is that took you to see a doctor in the first place. Then ask the doctor for consultance, but don't think they know or care for the sole reason that they're medical experts. The medical "truth" is everchanging.
About the "naturalness" of cannabis, granted that's a pointless argument. But in context of psychedelic drugs, it's a widely recognized phenomenon that natural substances have an effect on your brain that feels profoundly more natural in comparison to synthetic chemicals, e.g. psilocybin vs. LSD. So I can see where he could be coming from, although he most probably didn't present his argument from that point of view.
For instance, I was given benzodiazepines for insomnia when I never even asked for medication in the first place. There are shit loads of people on the Internet that know more about the reality of benzos than a randomly picked doctor. Yeah, I'd point anyone who's just been prescribed that shit to listen to people who actually know rather than base their judgment on their doctor's word alone.
@TheSpankymonkey Generally speaking docs arnt as smart, or caring as you would think. I have MS. You would be shocked how little docs know or care to know about it. I hear countless examples of this by other MS ppl. I add my own opinion to the chorus
@sleekcartim "Generally speaking docs arnt as smart, or caring as you would think." - Depends on your definition of smart or caring but even if i was to indulge you in that little diversion it escapes the real thrust of what i was saying. Even given the instances where doctors (generalism alert) might not be that smart, they still belong to the most advanced system of knowledge, legal recourse, access to information in the medical subject. Vs a youtube fuck who studied nothing.
@demmylowther That's terrible advice. I know 3 people personally who suffered a cannabis-induced psychosis & were prescribed various antipsychotics. One of them was further diagnosed with acute paranoid schizophrenia & 2 months ago, 10 years later, hung himself in his back garden. Having smoked marijuana for a good number of years myself, I am absolutely convinced it is responsible for triggering severe psychological problems. I'd actually go out of my way to pursuade people to avoid it.
I'm sorry you had to watch someone's mental illness triggered by drugs. Happened in my neighborhood. But I'm highly skeptic cannabis can do that to anyone unless they are already well in their way to psychosis. I posit what might as well have happened is that your friend had some sort of panic attack enhanced by the high and what messed him up was all the - and I quote - various anti-psychotics. But hey, I don't pretend to know. I just don't believe in "cannabis psychosis".
@CorneliusFractogram Statistically, cannabis smokers account for a noticeable quota of schizophrenics. Paranoia is definitely part & parcel of the cannabis high & the nature of cannabis pigeon-holing your thought can make you focus on paranoid imagination rather than actuality. In my opinion & the medical community's, cannabis abuse is certainly a catalyst of dormant schizophrenia.
My friends were both diagnosed as mentally ill before prescription of anti-psychotics
The thing with statistics is that we can't know which preceded, the drug or the trauma. A catalyst of dormant schizophrenia - that I can agree with. Why not? A loud sound could be a catalyst. As for the diagnoses, to put it harshly they mean squat to me. I've seen so many psychiatrists... They are in the duty and the mindset to label you. A label will also get you on pills - getting on pills will send you back to them. I've seen the disgusting side of psychiatry.
A psychiatrist actually tried to persistently convince me I have schizophrenia, sometimes less and sometimes more subtly. I know perfectly well this sounds like paranoia, and that precisely is how they get away with it. The doctor. The patient. Some doctors think it's a matter of authority and hierarchy. They abuse power, at worst they will manipulate you and people around you. I'm glad to have met good doctors also, but it almost seems to be 50-50.
Anyway... I don't think there's a debate here. I'm not unaware of the effects of cannabis on my psyche, and I have to respect the probability that someone might react differently. But schizophrenia is such a thorough dysfunction of the brain that cannabis as in the substance(s) in it don't change your wiring to that extent. With chronic use it's a different story, but then we're talking about a plethora of parameters in the equation, it's a self-strengthening spiral.
@CorneliusFractogram No debate at all. Different strokes. I don't have any mental health issues personally, but I've psycho-analysed myself well enough to understand how cannabis changes my emotional perspective & invokes paranoia. I can understand how someone who's feet were not firmly on the ground might struggle to differentiate what feelings & interpretations of the world around them are unnaturally caused by the high. I feel much better, mentally, for not smoking it anymore.
Yes, it's all individual. Personal background as in history, brain chemistry, rationality, imagination and sense of proportion - to name a few - are all major determining factors in the outcome. For instance, you don't give acid to a severely traumatized person who has unopened knots in their psyche. What kids need to have a healthy amount of fearful respect and humility towards, also, is the good ol' "set & setting". Know your limits and respect those of others'.
I did a fair bit of acid in my late teens. The very last experience was bad enough to vow never to do it again though. It was a pretty traumatic experience that I believe had a permanent effect on my brain. I've made a conscious effort to ward people off experimenting with it for the first time. One negative experience is certainly enough to outweigh 100 good experiences I think. Messing with your synapses is a hugely bad idea
If I'd have to categorize trips as negative or positive, I've only had one completely negative experience, but that was from mixing dextromethorphan with mushrooms. I can only advice people to experiment with psychedelic drugs because the positives far outweigh the negatives in my case. But I'm not a doctor, I don't tell people what to take or not to take, I can only give recommendations (much like doctors should), and the one thing I can recommend is educate yourselves.
Also wanted to say, I have developed a pretty thick skin. I've been on a lot of things. I learned at a very young age that panic is your worst enemy. Every single time I make it through the impossible I owe it to that book I read when I was a kid. If those psychiatrists knew the real situations I've been in, they'd never stop asking how I managed it. Everyone has a point at which they snap. I learned self-suggestion from young age. That's a power everyone is entitled to.
@CorneliusFractogram Based on my own experience & my own psycho-analytical intuition, I am absolutely certain that cannabis is the primary catalyst of psychosis in cannabis smokers. The factual observation is that every person I have met or been acquainted with, with some sort of minor/major psychotic trauma, has been associated with long term cannabis abuse. I don't think it's a matter of opinion personally. Cannabis abuse is a serious & evident health issue.
If cannabis were legal, as in, if the state allowed you the right to freedom and responsibility over your own body and mind, you would notice a change in this trend because smoking pot wouldn't automatically make you a criminal and drive you to socially isolate yourself from large part of the society. Smoking pot doesn't only affect your mind in the short term, but chronic use will thoroughly change your life and thereby psyche, often for the worse.
You've been through medication relapse hell kind of have you. I had some severe relapse from some medicines I've take before went of abilify lost like 20 to 35 pounds of fat through med changes and through some fasting to I'm ashame to say.
Every time I've moved on to a new med it's gotten better. Prozac was the first over nearly 10 years ago, and that was like a horrible roller coaster. Then after that Zoloft, then Paxil. Finally, Lexapro worked for me and (another big plus) it was easy to get off of and the lack of sex drive (common side effect for both sexes) wasn't as bad. Actually being off of meds for about a month now is really rough though.
Fluoxetine also works in lower doses than 20mg/day... Initial studies in the 1980s and early 1990s used 5mg/day and 10mg/day doses, and they were almost as effective as 20mg/day --- with fewer side-effects!
Im on Fluoxetine too, and so far its helped alot....I was on paxil 10mg but since i was havin night terrors and still had anxiety my doc switched me to fluoxetine 20mg. i was scared to try something new, but its been helpin lately so hopefully it all goes well.. Thanx for the review, helps me realize I have nothing to be scared of.. :)
I went to a new psychiatrist the other day...and I asked to be back on Fluoxetine. When I took it before, it really helped me. I had so much more focus and feeling of well-being. However, the sexual side effects would get me so angry. But, I'd rather feel good throughout the day without depression. I love it.
zoloft is fucked up so is flux, bad!!!

Every time I've moved on to a new med it's gotten better. Prozac was the first over nearly 10 years ago, and that was like a horrible roller coaster. Then after that Zoloft, then Paxil. Finally, Lexapro worked for me and (another big plus) it was easy to get off of and the lack of sex drive (common side effect for both sexes) wasn't as bad. Actually being off of meds for about a month now is really rough though.

Fluoxetine also works in lower doses than 20mg/day... Initial studies in the 1980s and early 1990s used 5mg/day and 10mg/day doses, and they were almost as effective as 20mg/day --- with fewer side-effects!

It worked for me ...Mate , but everyone is different, nice of you to put your experience down for others to benefit from your insights ,
Cipromal is a bag of Shite , and his now banned ...that's what I was a few years ago ...they were bad man.

I went to a new psychiatrist the other day...and I asked to be back on Fluoxetine. When I took it before, it really helped me. I had so much more focus and feeling of well-being. However, the sexual side effects would get me so angry. But, I'd rather feel good throughout the day without depression. I love it.
