Prozac is Weird

[SevenColorCrystalBall]

I stopped by toe and I didn't feel it, I tripped over one loose screw sticking out of the floor and didn't even want to crash out or cry when someone laughed. I feel even more muscle weakness than usual now now and I realized that I'm kinda numb in general. The cravings for fat ass food are almost bearable and I'm slightly dizzy.

The goal of Prozac should be to stabilize your emotions in general, the problem is that that includes not only muting the lows but the highs as well and people don’t expect that. Think of your mood going from a rollercoaster with extreme ups and downs to flatlining in the middle. People often take this as feeling “numb” but it could just be that it’s working as intended and you’re not used to being non neurotic. Like the fact that you didn’t crash out and can control cravings is a good sign. However, everyone has different experiences with meds but don’t get discouraged too quickly, this is coming from someone who’s also been on it btw

Thank you and I can't actually control cravings but they're not as unbearable, the lows are also easy enough now even with feeling tired
