In reply to Need Advice on Med Cocktail. Please help!, posted by elbee on June 16, 2008, at 13:06:35
Prozac made my anxiety even worse. It was a very stimulating med to me. But I am sure you know (your doc. probably already told you) that each medication effects each one differently. And that is soooo. true.
When I first became ill with my problems I had never really taken any meds (except the usual antibiotic, etc.). But never anything that effected my mind or mood.
So, everytime I would hear that someone was doing so well on a particular med. I immediately wanted to switch and try what they were taking.
It took me a while to learn that you have to give each med its time. There is no magic pill (I thought there was). I assumed I would take this medication and in a few days to a week (like a medication treating a virus or the flu I would be totallly well).
Ten years later I am still struggling with my meds. But don't give up. I am soooooo. much better now than I was before. It may just take you and your doctor a little experimenting and adjusting. But you will eventually find the right cocktail.
Good luck, and forgive my spelling
