I emailed her about it yesterday - but no response yet (not that I mind or am worried about that, she has a life lol), she wanted me to update her and even sent a follow up email yesterday morning, since I hadn't responded yet to her response to my first email. Just a really short one asking how I was doing.That being said, whatever you do, I'd encourage you to do it in consultation with your doctor
I didn't take it yesterday, haven't taken it today (and it's late enough in the day I wouldn't want to)
You're likely to experience that same batch of flu-like symptoms from temporarily discontinuing the drug.
I don't think a single 10mg dose of prozac was a long enough exposure to cause any kind of withdrawal symptoms. No nausea at all today. I feel a lot better today than I did the past two days, though I'm still having a hard time in regards to anxiety. I'm not like, -constantly- sweaty palms level anxious though, and I haven't needed valium at all today so far.
I'm definitely not a fan of SSRIs, generally
I was like, VERY strongly against ever taking them. I still am strongly against taking them, lol. Like, I am upset that they're something I actually could potentially get benefits out of, and that I have to go through the process of going on and then potentially off of an SSRI in order to find out. It will be worth it if it does work for me in the end though.
If my symptoms weren't so severe and present every day, I'd never, ever consider taking them. I was okay with taking bupropion, because it's an NDRI rather than an SSRI - and it did make me less depressed for sure, it helped in some ways, but wasn't good for my anxiety or sleep. But considering how much my symptoms are affecting my life, I decided to do the unthinkable (lol) and try an SSRI. It took a lot of convincing to make me even consider it.
Yeah, I know :/ but ultimately that only means that I'll be repeating "day one" because I only took it once. I don't mind not holding on to any "progress" in regards to adapting to the drug.by Friday you'll essentially be starting all over again.
The nausea will suck but having to repeat day one is worth having gone to band practice yesterday.
