Prozac Nation in In the Nude

I’ve been seeing a therapist from work for over a month. 2 weeks ago she gave a number to a psychiatrist. She thinks I should look into getting on antidepressants and continue therapy with her.

I was on antidepressants twice; in 2000 I went on Wellbutrin for 6 weeks only to quit smoking. In 2012, i took lexapro because I had been losing my hair (it had been falling out for over 7 years). I felt this may be stress related so my logic was reduce the stress and maybe my hair would stop falling out. Took it for about a year and felt no different.

I saw the ‘shrink’ last Friday. Again, I had to go over all the trauma I had gone through for the past two years. She put me on Prozac. I really don’t know what to expect on this. Like, what does it feel like? What should I expect? I looked up all the info on this and there’s mixed review from ‘it’s a miracle’ to ‘it’s a nightmare’.

I hope it helps me. I need to feel like myself again. Sometimes I have moments that I do feel good and others not so much. I miss me and I hope this helps me sort my issues out.

Maya, my daughter, is turning 3 in two weeks. Hard to believe, but my little girl is growing up. This girl is my life and I don’t care what it takes, I will pull it together so that I can be a positive role model for her. She deserves it, she’s really is such a good kid when she’s not driving me crazy :)
