You were a beautiful beautiful bride and your new husband looks like he's very happy to have you. I was struck by the faces of the guests in church (?) .. they look like they care about you very much.

In reply to Re: Anyone used prozac?, posted by sexylexy on September 9, 2004, at 19:49:31
Hi! I'm on Prozac and I love it. It has literally saved my life. 20 mg is a common starting dosage. I'm at 80 mg because its supposed to help OCD at higher dosages. 40 or 60 mg is usually what you work up to. I does have somewhat of an appitite suppresent, but for me it went away after a while. The main thing to remember about Prozac is it can take several weeks to feel the effects. I think for most people its about 3 weeks, but it can take longer. I hope it works out for you.

It's such a relief to hear someone who's on a dosage that equals mine and even higher, and you're still okay. I was getting so upset at my 60 mg dose I cut it down to 40 but I don't do as well on 40, not at all. On the other hand, 60 gives me anxiety. Sleep is hell even on 40. My dreams aren't really dreams they're more like waking nightmares. Okay, enough complaining. Prozac has saved my life too, quite seriously. It made me well enough to go into therapy and find out I'm probably not the freak I always thought I was :)

It's added to my anxiety too. But me and my pdoc decided to stay with it along with some Xanax to take as needed for the anxiety. I also take Trazadone for sleep. I never had a problem sleeping in my life until I got on Prozac. For a while I hated the thought that I was taking medications to take care of side effects of other medications. Then I tried Lexapro, which for me was sheer h*ll. I was begging to get back on Prozac. So I guess sometimes you have to take the lesser of two evils. Will your doc prescribe Xanax? I know some won't, but it sure does help.

Hi Susan,
Glad to hear that you are doing so well. I feel the same way about Lexapro. I can't believe that I suffered almost my entire adult life with my OCD and finally, finally feel like I have some control again. It returns from time to time usually around my time of the month but it's never as severe or as long lasting as it once was. Mrs. C

Hey Yo Yos and all others who read,
I just wanted to give a little update. I have stopped Lexapro due to the fact that my Obgyn said that Prozac/Sarafem would do better for my hormonal stuff. So I am giving that a shot. Starting slow, right now taking about 10mg, splitting open my gel-cap and taking 10 about as well as I can.
Its not been bad so far. I have had some periods of irritation and a bit of anger... for some reason SSRI's seem to do that to me, I remember the Zoloft did it then the Lexapro did it as well, however it was one of the many side effects that went away. I am hoping it goes away too. So far I am pretty pleased with it, however I have decided to go up slowly, I really do not have time for all the side effects.
Work has been really busy but I got a HUGE raise so I was really excited, I can actually do things like eat and even go out for a glass of wine..haha. It has been a really challanging job, along with doing therapy I am faced with a lot of decisions as to whether to urge judges to take children out of the house so needless to say, I have heard some abuse stories that would make your hair stand on ends. However, I really feel like I am making a difference and helping these children to have a better life.
Things with my boyfriend are good. It has been an adjustment having him back in town after being long distance for two years. We are having a lot of fun and it is soooo nice having him here!
Well, hope everyone is doing well!!!
Lexy

Hello Everyone,
Today was such a bad day. As lot of you know I am a liscensed masters social worker at a child psychiatric unit. I see a lot of sad things, however today I saw the worst one yet. Of course I cannot get into details nor would I want to horrify you, but I ended up getting a court order to take him out of his home, I had to talk to the poor thing for 2 and a half hours before he would tell me the truth. When he started talking I had to leave the room once because I was so upset.
I just don't understand who could hurt this precious child. I went out tonight and bought him a bunch of toys as a reward for having to tell his horrible account. I know I did the right thing for this child. I just cannot imagine some of the things that people can do to a child, its just so mind boggling.
Just needed someone to talk to....
