Feeling really depressed ?

Question

Ok for the past 2 months now since my fiance' broke up with me and said some pretty crazy things I've been feeling crazy depressed and sometimes suicidal. So my friend said that I should still feel like that 2 months later and made take some online quiz thing. According to the results he said I was considered medcially depressed like he use to be. He had a few left over Prozac's from when he use to take them and told me to see if they'd help. He gave me a weeks worth but said I'd notica a change in less then a day. Its been 3 and I feel exactly the same the only thing the pills seem to do is give me the shakes and I spoke easily. Ive been taking 1 daily like he said why doesn't it help?

Answer 1

Please stop taking the Prozac and consult a doctor. Your depression can be treated but Prozac may not be what you need.  My husband takes prozac and doesnt have the shakes. You could be allergic. You should never take anyone elses medicine no matter. it typically takes two weeks or longer for meds to start working to balance the chemicals in your brain,that could be why you did't get any immediate results.  But anyway please see a doctor and tell them what you wrote here and let them prescribe something for you. I hope you find the help you need soon...

Answer 2

Anti depressants take a few weeks to affect you.  You need to see a doctor, never take someone else's meds.  You may need a different medicine, or dosage.  It's not a one size fits all kind of thing.

Answer 3

I hate to say this but your friend is not the brightest person in the world.

You have to start with a small dose of Prozac and possibly build it up.  You are not going to notice a change in 1 day.

It may work in a week, it may take 4-6 weeks.

Prozac may not even work on you.  I went through several medications until the correct one and dosing was found.

Answer 4

Medicine, by being told it works, it works if you really BELIEVE it does.

Look, i think its all in your head,

you took the quiz and now you Believe you're mentally depressed, your friend said all this to you.

you believe all of it, but how about believing you'll be alright? how about believing everything will be fine?

Answer 5

Dude,

       Please stop listening to ur friend's words and also stop taking Prozac as he prescribed,, He is not a doctor to tell you to have those pills for getting rid off the depression.. Just tell me onething will he hold the responsibility if anything goes wrong with your health and it is not he who gets into trouble but it is your wife who gets into trouble..

Just think again my friend... Dont RISK YOUR LIFE....

Try to visit a doctor if you are really so depressed...and try to takeup a course as prescribed by the doctor...

Is that ok my friend..

Dont worry and dont get tensed and think and be positive.. and try to handle the depression... else you will get addicted to the tablets and your natural immunity of holding the stress and depression will get reduced... so please tell me...

Answer 6

You should leave it up to a professional to prescribe medication and diagnose you. His dosage isn't necessarily what you would need.

And getting over a relationship is based on you. How you handle it and deal with it.

If you're feeling really depressed, go talk to someone.  

Answer 7

Listen...Pills are for crazy people...you're not crazy. Obviously you dodged a bullet by not marrying a person who would say crazy things like that. You'll get over it. Just be happy and look around. There's someone out there for you.
