The realization that I really do need meds.

Posted by Nathan_Arizona on July 23, 2007, at 17:26:59

Over the past 4 months or so, I've been feeling really really good, so I started (without consulting with my pdoc) to taper off prozac.
I've been prozac free now for at least a month.
At first I thought "YIPEE" I really don't need this stuff at all! I feel GREAT!
Over the past month or so, I watched my depressive symptoms return however. First the anxiety, then the terminal insomnia, now the crying and hopelessness. I wrote them off as occurring for all sorts of reasons, but its obvious.
I finally admitted today to my pdoc today that I felt like crap, wasn't getting anything done, was stressed to the max and had stopped taking my prozac.
I don't really know why I stopped - all I know is that I SO wanted to be not sick.
But I don't know if that is ever going to happen for me.
It sucks.
