hello.. i’m new to this whole thing .. honestly , i’m new to anxiety/ depression in general . last year around october , all of the sudden i was hit with panic , worry, fear , loss of appetite and could hardly sleep . i had never experienced anything like it , so i went to a dr . she put me on 5mg of lexapro and within about two weeks i was completely myself again ! i stayed on it until june , and talked to dr about weening off for the summer .. (dr thinks it’s seasonal ) i successfully was off of it for the summer . however, i felt it creeping back this past october . i tried to fight it myself for a few weeks .. but eventually couldn’t take it anymore . so i talked to the dr about getting back on the lexapro . it’s been about two weeks and although my sleep and appetite is getting better , i’m experiencing this brain fog that makes me feel like i’m not as clear and sharp as normal . it bothered me enough that i went back to the dr and told her i was experiencing this . i was expecting her to say that it’s a side effect that should go away after a few more weeks .. instead she wants to change me to prozac . i read some forums and reviews on prozac and it’s freaking me out ! i’m scared to death to try it . idk what to do .. i had such success with lexapro last year and i’m frustrated that it’s not going the same way this year . has anyone experienced this before ? anyone have any positive stories about prozac ? sorry for the long post !
