There was a bit of a scene over local police beating down a kid with tourette's. He was a super nice guy, and he and his friends explained to the cop what the situation was, but the cop felt like he was being mocked.

If it makes you feel better then kudos to you. Don't stop talking it without informing someone because you will be more depressed than you ever have been in your life and suicide is a risk with stoping any selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Apathy and depression isn't a bad thing nessicairly. You might not be socialy thinking but you start thinking of things in a diffrent light and thinking above things, not missing the point in much. You just have to make sure you dont let yourself get to introverted. I usualy go throgh cycles where ill hang out with people for a month or two then ill go back and avoid everyone for 3-4 months or so just because I get tired of it and dont feel like doing anything. I kindove enjoy it.

heres a simple solution that shouldn't cost you anything but your insurance wont like. see a clinical psychaitrist, he/she will run some basic tests, and by tests i mean describe this describe that, what do you feel sorta question tests, it runs down specific types of depression you may have, and also, certain meds work better for certain types. prozac is bullshit and is thrown out there to anyone with a problem, just like rid was for add kids back in the late 90's.

whats his name on the last page, social anxiety drugs are bad guy, sorry, was right in one sense, do something that will make you happy. excercise, it releases hormones that make you happy. its stupid but try to smile more, it actually releases endorphines in your head and make you a little bit happier. little ---- like that make a difference albeit a small one. however, dont do illegal drugs or alcohol, those dont mix ever with antidepressants, trust me, its a bad combo and you feel like absolute ----, everywhere, and it doesnt go away for a long long time. but we all know how long it feels to have a bad hangover go away, a few hours feels like days. now imagine that worse.

but, the side effects are person to person, either they usually will fade away or for some people they don't. it depends on your body chemistry. for people like dibble, it works fine. for my grandpa, it works fine. for me and a few friends of mine, it was absolute hell. luckily there are very few withdrawal affects from prozac

and, you can't always just "think it better" and have the chemical imbalances and neuroreceptors go back to normal and start functioning correctly again. thats why its called clinical depression which is why it should be treated and why it usually goes back to normal after treatment

get off prozac, there are much much better options out there. since you are already feeling side effects, a dead stop wont be the best. but, whatever, i'm not a doctor. wait out the month, see if you feel any better. i'd still highly reccomend seeing a c.p. and having some alternatives brought to the table. i just know more people who have negative results with prozac than positive ones, including myself.

anyways, good luck, i truly hope you pull through it. depression is a cold mistress

its a 20mg dose.Today I was still out of it a lot but I talked moreto customersand smiled more. When I'm with my friends I laugh and joke around, but I dont realize I'm doing it. It's almost like nothing is wrong with me, but my brain wont concentrate. The only thing I actually feel 'kinda' sad about is the fact that I dont feel normal anymore. Should I try to drop the prozac for a few days and see if I get worse? Or do I just need to take them until I feel 100% again; then drop them? How should I get off them? instead of one every morning, should I do one every other morning and space them out over time until there is none or just drop it cold turkey?

I've got a wisdom tooth thats buggin me for a week or so now. I been meaning to schedule an appt. to get it removed, but its hard to do simple ---- like that now. I'm gonna drag my *** to teh dentist tomorrow and see what they can do. Prolly sit me on some antibiotics for a few days. Some ppl I know are trying to tell me I might have an infection in tehre and its causing this ----, but I just dont see how it could be. I feel like I've typed all this before. Thanks again for your input guys. Joseph, I've never been sick or anything in a serious enough manner to go to a doctor and get a presciption for anything. I have no idea what being depressed feels like, or anythign else fo rhtat matter. What do you think might be wrong with me? shoot me a pm. If you call, I wont be able to pay attention, so dont do that. I'd rather read it 4 times instead of frustrating you.
