> Prozac worked well? What dose as once I took it when only came in 20mg and three days off the wall with anxiety and wasn't anxious at the time. The first day I did more than did in three years as wallpapered a foyer. Had the paper for all that time. Humm maybe it would have worked if took it every three days like the pdoc who was really good asked me to? Some of us here used to refer to this miracle new med as the magic pill one to be yet invented. Phillipa
Yep, Prozac -20mg - was a miracle pill to me wayyyy back in 1990. It made me a much improved me. I lost weight, got in shape, bought great clothes, was confident, full of self-esteem (but not arrogant), found myself lots of fun friends to hang with. Life was just damn good. How I miss it!!! The miracle starts slipping away when you realize you're not feeling so great anymore. Go to pdoc, dose increased, problem solved! For a while...then back for another dose increase. Until you're at the max, and then even that doesn't work for you. I ended up with a bunch of yellow and green capsules that may as well have had aspartame in them (I don't do sugar lol) Then, as someone eloquently put it, the circus begins, and continues to this day. These days I am a puppet: give me my Ritalin and I come to life and act fairly normally. Have the Ritalin wear off and the puppet falls to the floor, lifeless. That's how Ritalin makes me feel. Sigh. But no complaints! Ritalin is farrrrr superior to having nothing, that's for sure. And Phillipa, I'd like to know, why do I *always* type so much to you, no matter if I am on Ritalin or not? Oh, and if that mystical magic pill does ever get invented, sign me right up!
Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
