"The World Health Organization (WHO), in its Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study, has calculated the levels of disability attributable to various diseases. I give Prozac credit for getting me out of the crisis scenario, and therapy for opening up my eyes to some bigger issues in my life that are causing some of the anxiety.
The latest such research is a meta-analysis of antidepressants, which has proved conclusively that they work. He started out as “if you know you’re being irrational, why can’t you just stop?” and through a few counseling sessions, he now realizes that’s not how it works. But then I began to gradually notice that I was starting to have days that weren’t absolutely insufferable. I preferred to quarantine myself in my apartment, and if I had to go anywhere I would start to get very irritable because my anxiety would be so bad that I needed to escape wherever I was immediately. It’s a tough admission that I recently made myself, that you can’t do it without the help of modern medicine, but it does get manageable, if not fully “better”.Here I am thinking I have OCD because I get anxious if my Outlook is on the left screen instead of the right. Might as well stay off them now, they've done their work.
Our brains are hardwired to analyze things that we find threatening because this helps promote survival. But my therapist tells me it’s probably okay because I actually like to be a Prozac Jumping Jack, and it’s not caused by fear, creating more anxiety, or impairing my life. Amitriptyline showed the highest efficacy, followed by mirtazapine, venlafaxine, paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine, citralopram and reboxetine - 21 types of anti-depressant were tested and these are the top eight. No, antidepressants work.
Two weeks of no change, then a day of mad intrusive thoughts about violent self-harm (I'd read the label, and knew it was part of the process, so was able to rationalise the thoughts even as my head was urging me to cut myself with broken glass, something I had not done since my teens). Last night I dreamt that I had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital where Bailey came to visit me and took me on a day-trip to Target where two of my credit cards got declined. He would take care of me while I did an hour or two of personal assistant work for him and spent the rest of the day/my life hibernating in his apartment.
Eight years after my first prescription, I remain in its debt, and have no plans to stop using it.
There has to be. And yes, of course all of these things made me feel better, because how could they not? I’ve gone to multiple doctors multiple times for illnesses I am absolutely convinced I have after hours of online research, only to be told time and time again that nothing is actually wrong with me.If I start getting too voluptuous, I begin to hate myself, weigh myself multiple times a day, and actively restrict food until I end up binge eating. And when my cousin’s especially catty husband interrupted my brother and me cutting up at a bar with, “Okay that’s enough with the twincest,” it freaked. Lord, the vivid dreams. I compulsively spent the majority of my days doing online research to try to figure out what was wrong with me, what caused it, and what the cure was.An avid problem solver, I went to my regular therapist who is amazing but is not an OCD specialist, and this unfortunately made things worse. My former husband died of untreated depression. Somebody without a mental health issue from the outside looking in may only exacerbate the issues at hand. Prozac success stories please!
I’ve been suffering from undiagnosed anxiety for years (I suspect OCD but it could be GAD as well). Prozac (fluoxetine): “I started at 10 mg dose of Prozac for GAD and some depression.
Some antidepressants proved more effective than others. Prozac, or to use its medical name Fluoxetine, is mostly known for treating depression but it can also be effective for anxiety disorders. I take 40mg. Life Story No 1. Thanks for sharing, keep fighting the good fight.100% can relate. I started taking Prozac in December because, quite frankly, I was in the midst of a “nervous breakdown.” This an old-school term that is no longer used in psychiatry, but I have yet to find another one that more accurately conveys the process of losing your marbles, so I’m bringing it back.After a three-day Adderall stint (prescribed, for the record) to study for an exam last September and a particularly traumatic trip to Big Bend National Park (which is, in itself, a long story for another time), I found myself entangled in an Obsessive-Compulsive episode that, to this day five months later, has never really ended.When I think back, I’ve had OCD tendencies for as long as I can remember.
