> Over the past month or so, I have gradually been descending into the pits of hell. I had been taking Prozac 20 mg. along with Buspar 30 mg. since early Spring with very good results. I also went off my birth control pill around this time then later started it back up again. But anyway, as each day progresses, I feel more and more lethargic and depressed. I am craving SUGAR like a mad woman (and uncontrollably consuming loads of it daily, which a big concern for me). I feel like I can't get my thoughts together, like I'm in a fog. I can't concentrate on anything, I'm irritable, my head feels heavy... What on earth is going on here? Has the Prozac stopped working? Is the sugar wreaking havoc on my system? Am I not getting quality sleep? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? I just wish I had the motivation to FIX it. I went to see my psychiatrist yesterday, and she suggested that I gradually switch over to Zoloft 50 mg. (I have trouble with compulsive behaviors). Can anyone give me any insight, or let me know what you think about this situation??? I really, really, REALLY appreciate your support. :)
Where do you live?? This is the time of year that SAD symptoms start to emerge. Are you familar with light therapy? Many people have exacerbations with thier depressions this time of year and need to increase their meds or start light therapy.
