A question about a medicine I'm taking...?


Question:
I'm taking a depression/hormonal medicine called Prozac. Ever since I started taking it I've been doing pretty good...at least up until 2 weeks ago...it worked for about 2 weeks and then it just stopped. Do you think I could be manic-depressant? because I spent 2 weeks happy, then the past 2 weeks I've been really depressed. Or do you think I need to just check into changing my medicine?

I'd like to have some other people's opinions. Thanks!

Answers:
refer to the doctor who prescribed it
you may need a dosage adjustment or a change of medication as sometimes it can make you more depressed
one of the potential side effects of the drug is potential for suicide
Prozac is a dangerous drug talk to your Dr. about more natural or healthy meds.

I took Prozac for a few months to get through a difficult time. I didn't have the up and down that you are having though, is it typical for you to have extreme changes in mood over days or weeks? If it is then that could be bipolar disorder. If not, then you might just be adapting to the medication. Either way I would ask a doctor about it since everyone reacts differently.
If I were you I would definitely consult my doctor...
Prozac can backfire and make you more depressed, please go in and talk to your doctor and make sure he/she listens.

These medications are not to be taken lightly, they can be dangerous, and, whatever you do, don't suddenly stop taking Prozac, make sure you consult the doctor and do as he or she says.
As a fellow supernatural fan i'd go to the doctors lol.
being a supernatural fan has nothing to do with this but anyway go to ur doctor.
