Prozac and outside presure
by krizanac, Oct 27, 2002 12:00AM
I have survived my prozac ordeal. I suffered bad depresion due to divorce. While under prozac after 3 weeks I nearly kiled my self by cuting my wrists. My ex partner new that I was using prozak and from day one of use of prescibed medication was very agresive and intimidating towards me. My doctor told me to move out of the house what I did not knowing why at that time. My ex partner was constantly calling me on my mobile and makeing me more and more depresed, until I snaped and went to my home to end my life. My dogs were in house at that time and their cry destracted me and than I realized what has been happening to me and I went directly to my doctor at hospital who sent me to hospital for observation. I would like to know whether and how much was pressurising of my ex partner contributed to my situation. I would realy apriciate your profecional oppinion on this matter.

From what you have said, I would say 100% was due to your ex-partners pressure and your vulnerability to your ex-partner. You gave him too much power over your life.
