Question

I had anxiety problems for awhile and i would always think certain thoughts then block them out cause they were uncomfortalbe. this caused me anxiety. one day i had a really bad thought and i felt very disconnected from myself and ever since then i felt depressed. Then i was prescribed prozac and i still feel depressed and unable to think clearly and i feel just stupid and regret not saying some things i should of or thinking certain thoughts. Sometimes i get this really empy feeling in my stomach also. I just want to be happy and stop constantly worrying about my thoughts and feel like myself again .What should i do.

Answer 1

So many people are going through depression and it is just so sad. I myself have done the prescription medication thing and therapy. For me they worked very well. But before it starts to work you need to find the right medication and right therapist for you.

The feelings your explaining sound so sad, and I really do hope that you feel better and get the happiness I believe you deserve.

I hope I help a little, you can e-mail me if you want.

Answer 2

talk to a doctor he will know what is best. Try talking to someone it will help

Answer 3

Get off the meds (of course, consult with your doctor about this as you don't want to abruptly stop) and see a therapist. Unfortunately, the first course of action for mental health issues has become medication, which only serves to fatten the wallets of those in the pharmaceutical industry, as WhizKid pointed out. A good therapist will not only listen to your concerns, but will also teach you new and healthy ways of coping and overcoming your depression.

All these people are sayin about taking meds and seeing councellers and all that. But i have the same problem and hearing i need to see a counceler is scary to me! I have a mate with bi-polar who i used to chat to alot bout this sorta thing. He was put on anti-depressants but talked to me about a method he thought worked better. So i tried it and it somewhat helped me feel less depressed and more myself again.

It was as simple as this:

When you are feeling deppressed, angry or anxious, grab a pen and paper and write down all the things that are bothering you and making you feel this way.

Then leave it for a while, go have a cup of coffee or a smoke or something.

After come back and read every thing you wrote.

Most of it will sound silly reading back.

(i think this is because after getting all the thoughts off of your mind and then distracting yourself and calming down, the thoughts no longer seem as bad)

Then rip up the list

burn it

feed it to your cat

what ever, just destroy it.

Now ive found this doesnt realy work if you are extremly upset about something.

But if you are feeling anxious or depressed then this is deffinatley worth a try!

Has worked with me on many things!

A few i will admit, this didn't work with.

But even if it doesn't, i guarantee it will make you feel at least a bit better = ].

Hope you feel better soon and i hope this method helps you as much as it did me = ]

Answer 5

If you do not have enough money, you could take drugs, like alcohol or crack, to feel better and many do. But that does not cure it. The cure is to make more money. If you are depressed, the cure is not to take a drug, like Prozac. The cure is to be happier. If you have panic or anxiety, which everyone feels at one time or another, the cure is not to take drugs. The cure is to feel more tranquility, calmness and peace of mind. See site below for more on this.

Kevin Trudeau says in his best selling book, Natural Cures They Do Not Want You to Know About, "All illnesses and diseases are caused by the same things; (1) too many toxins in the body; (2) nutritionally deficiencies; (3) electromagnetic chaos exposure; (4) mental and/or emotional distress." "The most effective way to cure and prevent disease is by getting the toxins out." "One very powerful cleanse is, of course, fasting." "Drugs only suppress symptoms, and they cause disease because they are toxic." In More Natural Cures Revealed, Kevin Trudeau says "The facts are clear, drugs, both prescription and non-prescription, do not make you healthier, they make you sicker. Drug companies are not interested in your health. Drug companies only want you to buy and use more drugs. If you want to cure yourself of any disease you have and remain healthy, you must eliminate all non-prescription and prescription drugs."

Answer 6

It sounds like you experienced dissociation.  Prozac is great, but not the end all of medications.  You might try Paxil, or even something like Abilify.
