Prozac

My doc added Prozac 20mg to my list of meds I'm already taking.... I'm just always so nervous taking new pills... Any advice, person experience? Good or bad, I want to hear it. Please and thank you :)

I am sorry to read of your worries re the new medication.  May I ask why your Dr. felt you needed another med as your list is long?  Sometimes when my list of meds gets to long I ask my Dr. to review the side effects and interactions of all of my meds to see if the meds are the culprit causing me to feel ill.

Just a thought and please know I am here for you.

Kindly,

Kitt

I am so sorry to hear of your losses.:(

I do hope that you can get some relief from your new med should you choose to try it.

I wish you peace and healing.

Hello,

Sorry for your lose, I can relate to losing people I love. In the past 3 years I have lost both my grandmothers (within a week of each other) and a really good friend. Hopefully the medication your doctor has prescribed will help you out. Along with the medication I would recommend, as what personally helps me, finding some way to get out and take a walk in the park. For me, even though I prefer cold/cloudy/rainy days, a nice day at the park makes me feel better and gives me time to reflect. It's also not bad to get the lungs a workin'! I would do your research and consult with your doctor about your experiences on your medication. I don't do this but, it probably would be something I would do if I took multiple medications, maybe keeping a medical journal about what you experience while on the new medication?

Hope everything goes well,

Hi SSAT.

I am very sorry to hear about everything that is going on with you. I too am a worrier when it comes to taking new medications. I agree with Rxclusion that keeping a journal about your experiences might be helpful. It's something I tend to do and so far it has really helped in the past. It's a great thing to have if you want to bring your concerns up with your doctor later on then you have documentation to back up what you are saying. I'm not familiar with all of your medications but I have been on a few of them myself for a number of years, especially the anti-seizure medications. I am just in the process of going off of Clobazam, but the doctor took me off too quickly and my anxiety seems to be spiraling out of control. I like to say doctor's know best but the only one who really knows how you feel is you. Whenever the doctor puts me on a new medication I find it really helpful to go and talk to the pharmacist and hear their side too. Sometimes they may know of an interaction that the doctor is not immediately aware of. Hope this helps.

Feel better!!
