Hello HelloBeen on prozac for over two months now - felt GREAT (tony the tiger great) after the first month, but the whole terrorist thing brought back the usual symptoms (spending the whole day drinking, watching endless TV, turning off the ringer, not returning anyone's calls ) and so I decided on my own accord to start taking two of the 20mg capsules. A week and a half later, I am almost 100% back to my normal self - AND I am not feeling the drowsiness that i felt on 20mg. I didn't have much faith in my doctor - he's a really nice man, but a general internist and didn't seem to think that the sleepiness was at all related to the prozac - which I learned from this website that it obviously was. SO anyway, my point is that I am feeling much better now, but my therapist is insisting that i tell my doc that I am at 40mg now and that I find a psychiatrist. It all seems like hassles, and I feel like 40mg is the answer. Should I wait and see how I do or set things up with a psychiatrist now - I am not too thrilled at the idea of seeing (and paying for) ANOTHER shrink.
anyway, thoughts, advice, thanks.
