> ///Why are you switching? Did your prozac lose it's effectiveness? Not work at all?Okay, here's the deal:
I have been taking the prozac for about 6 months, but
the side affects (shakiness, anxiety) is really beginning to bother me, I mean I can't hardly function without having to explain to someone why I am shaking. So, My doctor prescribed zoloft.
I haven't started taking it because I don't know how wise it is to simply stop taking the prozac...I tried to go 3 or 4 days without it and I felt so paranoid, like everyone was talking about me, although I know that this is quite ridiculous.
Anyway, my doctor acted all nonchalant about it, as if it's no big deal to just stop and start
taking something else, but I don't know how I feel about it.
It's not that the prozac didn't work, I mean, it is helping me...as far as I don't cry everyday...but, you know what?
I have also discovered that I am almost emotionless...and that is not good. It's like I don't really care about anything.
And that sucks, 'cause I am a full time college student...etc..
I just need to know, what's the best thing to do in this situation?
