In reply to Prozac caused violence what next?, posted by Diane on October 14, 1999, at 21:27:56
I am not violent "by nature". Don't get the wrong idea here!
I have allot of hate & anger, yes,(particularly over events of the last 11yrs) which expressing
ONLY MAKES WORSE (doesn't solve) so I do NOT. I don't want to talk to anybody about it...it doesn't help. I
tried talking to the people involved...hasn't worked yet so I give up on talk.I am not not a violent person and have never hit any one before (I'm strictly defense)
until I took this Prozac. Suddenly I was rehashing those events in my mind with a new
intensity. Then I caught my mom going thru my boxes again (my husband died after a
6 yr fight for his life and I'm back "home at 45yrs old ), which I've gotten use to now and
ignore BUT this time I lit into her and grabbed her by throat when she would back off.
I felt minimal restraint. Scared the heck outta me a little while later. Scares me now to
contemplate trying another anti-depressant! That's why I am looking for direction on my
own. If I do go to a shrink I don't want to go in cold.
What ADs do NOT cause one to be *wired*? I can not stand that feeling. Speeds makes me depressed.
Zoloft gave me headaches.
Xanax made me dopy-like, useless. Ended 10day hospital stay/Withdrawl siezures. Word-finding difficulties ever after.
Mellaril, I can't remember.17yrs ago
Klonopin, nothing to dopy to useless.
Vallium, nothing.
Tryptophan gives me nightmares
Caffine can make me very angry or sometimes tired."There's a certain class of people who will do you in
and then remain completely mystified by the depth
of your pain."**found that in a Sue Grafton book. It says it all.
