HI MY NAME IS DEBBIE AND I TAKE 4 PROZAC A DAY MY DEPRESSION IS SEVERE
Hi there, I will soon be 36, have wondered about perimenopause, my maternal gram went through menopause at 39, just one month there was no period and that was it. But this gram also had MS, diagnosed when she was 60. She lived until she was 79, died from complications of heart surgery. I am pretty agitated at this point, I started the Prozac to feel better, not worse. I'm going to see a neurologist on Friday, I can't stand this anymore, 6 years has been enough. Thanks for your support, it has been greatly appreciated.
Jenny,
You've been taking it longer than a month right? You should soon feel some relief from depression/anxiety. You sounded pretty aggitated on the anxiety forum. Are you feeling better at all? If not, then go back to the doctor. You shouldn't have to live like that.
How old are you? Peri-menopause has skin sensations as a common symptom. I've never taken Prozac but have found paxil very good. It did give me sweating side affects (amongst others). I have also had a cold feeling on the face as a symptom of anxiety but determined it was from my nose breathing onto my face in cold weather and being more sweaty. Focussing on these things can make you feel anything.
A buzzing, electric type sensation is a very very common anxiety symptoms.
Good luck. Try to stop reading the net if possible, it will just eat you up.
Hi jennywren:
I would like to suggest to you that: you change your anti-depressant. I say this because Prozac has many DANGEROUS SIDE-EFFECTS. Celexa or Wellbutrin-sr have far less dangerous side-effects. Also, you may also know, that going on/off anti-depressants you need to do this slowly. GOOD LUCK..TAKE CARE..KEMOSABI
I tried Prozac once, it was a horrible experience, mae my situation FAR worse so I stopped it. For me it was awful stuff.
