Question

[desperate1111]

I am 90 some days free of tramadol and the occasional hydros. Zero, none in 90 some days. I'm struggling with energy, motivation, concentration really bad. Dr put me on prozac in Jan. Its like all I want to do is nothing, no interest in anything at all. I work everyday, I do just enough to get by even at home. I can't seem to get motivated to do a thing. I take all the vitamins, a big handful. Am I bored, do I have a bad attitude, whats going on? I need to get past this part. I feel my life has come to a hault. I've hesitated asking this question for a long time cause I didn't want to discourage anyone. I love the way I feel of the mornings, the foggy head thing is gone, don't need pills to get out of bed and i have more money. I excersise, walk, work out some and eat healthy. I don't think I would have gotten this far without the prozac. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My boss takes prozac and he is so depressed lately...I just keep asking "r u ok"?  he has had numerous ankle surgeries and is in pain as well.....he is just so "flat" lately....I know him from highschool and he was a "partier"  I am a little worried about the lortabs he takes but it is not my place to bring that up at all...I have never taken prozac but i do know that not every AD is the right choice for you...I have taken a few trying to find the right one as many cause me not to be able to sleep...I know my daughter does well on zoloft but when they switched her to cymbalta she did not....would be good to follow up with your doctor or even find someone who specializes more in this area....most of my doctors do not really know anymore about them that I do and will give me whatever I ask for..a small dose of lexapro is what ended up working best for me but everyone is different and there are so many AD out there on the market

i have to agree with avisg when i was on prozac i was numb. maby you could ask about lexipro it worked great 4 me i loved it... hope you start to feel better and glad you posted about how you are feeling holly

I was going to recommend sam E and L'tyrosine but you take take them on prozac it could cause a spike in your blood pressure .worried is right maybe you should discuss with the doctor changing you antidepressant ,. I felt nothing on prozac no joy no pain NOTHING

Gosh...I dont know as I quit a bit over 2 months ago but do feel alot better than at first...you are doing all the right things...maybe the prozac is not the right AD for you...maybe talk to your doctor about it...my energy level is slowly returning and I am much more motivated and less often depressed...I stopped lexapro a few weeks ago and have been taking the methionone and 5htp for moods...tyrosine and theanine as well...dont know but i am sure with time it will get better
