Reassurance request - should I continue on these meds?
Hey everyone,
I’m on day 5 of Prozac and today has been absolutely brutal. I’ve been super shaky, on edge, and feel like I should cry but can’t. It’s been miserable and honestly a bit frightening.
My mind is absolutely racing, I'm struggling to eat, or think about anything - I've fully reverted to a child. Honestly so grateful for my partners super supportive attitude otherwise I might not be writing this right now.
I’m also due in at work tomorrow, which I think is the main source of my anxiety right now, and there’s a work Christmas party in the evening. I’m planning to go in and just be honest with them that I’m feeling awful, but it’s weighing on me. Pretty sure I'm going to go in and absolutely breakdown out of nowhere. Can I even get on the train?
My anxiety and depression was nowhere near as bad before starting the medication, but I know I should push on.
I know there are tons of posts like this, but I needed to get it out. If anyone’s been through something similar and it eventually levelled out, I’d really appreciate hearing it. Just need some reassurance that things get better and it’s worth sticking with the dose.
