Hi all, I thought my up in medication (60 mg of Prozac) was working until the weekend & for no apparent reason spent 4 days, what the hubby calls "pissy." Most times self-talk can pull me out of it ie: how lucky I am, etc. But then there's those times that I feel like I'm trying to climb up from a well...without a rope & just keep slipping. One day I'll hit the water, good thing I know how to swim, for awhile. But what makes me feel worse, is how bad me feeling bad, makes my husband feel & wondering if this is the time that he tires of this & goes away. It will be my fault & the biggest mistake of my life. Most times it would be nice to have an OFF switch to the mind...mine would never be ON!

and it did nothing for me. Then over a 10 yr period during the time I took other AD's and all along it was a sluggish thyroid which is now "fixed" thanks to Armour. And then also Vit D3 in recent years since I found that I was very deficient. These two "hormones" when they are lacking are known to cause depression.

Now, I don't know any of your history so I can't even go there. Hope you find your way. jam

when your meds quit working and bang it's like the road ended and your in the thick of the woods and you don't know what to do. I didn't know they still PX Prozac with all the new meds out their. I was on it when it first came out and it just quit working for me as well and I was on a whole list of things since then. I am now on cymbalta and abilify and that seems to be helping since my dr increased my dosage, but you just don't know when they will quit on you so you have to be glad for the time that things are going well. It's sad that your husband calls your emotional sadness "pissy times" He needs to understand that you are still the wonderful person he married and that you can't control your depression, it controls you. I hope you have a dr appt soon and you can get your meds changed to something that will work better for you. I am thinking about you Charlotte
