Two weeks ago my doctor switched my medication from effexor to prozac weekly. I don't think that the prozac is as strong as the effexor, but I've lost all interest in going to class, hanging out with friends, even getting out of bed. The thoughts of suicide have returned.
There is also the crying spells where I will cry for hours on end.My S.O. and I had a fight about me talking about suicide. My foster parents are about 2 hours away because I'm off at college, so I can't really go to them for help. I think that if I told them of these thoughts that they would make me move back home and not go to school. I don't want to tell them of these thoughts because then they wouldn't let me be off at school and try to become independant.
I don't think that the doctor would put me back on the effexor because of all of the problems I was having while I was on it. But the prozac doesn't seem to be working. I'm on week 2 of taking the prozac, I know that prozac takes time to become effective, but it should've been working by now. I mean I should be able to tell a difference. I was wondering if anyone had been put on prozac weekly or if there were other things that have given people help. My doctor isn't just supposed to be treating my depression, I also have A.D.D. and anxiety attacks. Talk about a killer on my grades!
I am just so tired of not being myself. I feel like I am dependant upon others and I HATE that feeling.
