3rd day off prozac!!!!

[marysick]

I took Prozac for 3 weeks....wound up in the ER twice. It was like I had one major panic attack for the entire time I took it. I couldn't keep any food down...throwing up! So now I'm off, and doc gave me adavan... It helps, but want to be very careful of it, because of the addictive properties. The doc says it will take about 10 days to leave my system. Anybody know about this? This is absolutely horrible... Need support.. I'm disabled because of this

I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough time on the Prozac.  Unfortunately, there isn't too too much you can do to speed up the readjustment process, it will just take some time.  Take the Ativan as directed (a week or so won't cause an issue with dependency), try to stay busy so you're not thinking too much about how you're feeling, and make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids.  You will feel better!  Hopefully sooner, rather than later!

Keep us in the loop!  Fingers crossed for you!

Are you seeing a therapist for your depression ..You do say that you have a doctor, but I am wondering if you are working on your depression with or without the medication.  I have not ever taken Prozac or Adavan so can't comment on that, wishing you the very best with your journey.
