I got the blues...

The prozac blues???

Published on October 7, 2005 By ----- In Misc

I don't know what it is (perhaps the prozac) but i have had a bad case of the blues the last few days. Last night i broke down and cried... I've only been on it for 2 weeks...didn't expect it to hit this hard...or so quickley...over all i've been *way* mellow... today after i got home from school i took a nap, i wasn't physically exhausted, just exhausted in that i felt as though i was drained...kinda hard to explain...

Today went well, in CGS we had another lecture, and finished up a few assignments... In WRI95 we started our compare/contrast papers... I've decided i'm going to go simple on this one and compare/contrast my two classes... Yeah, sounds feeble... but it beats trying to think of a *perfect* topic and not end up getting it done...

well, thats all for today.. ciao!

It takes a while, usually two weeks or longer, for anti-depressants to be in your blood stream enough to make a difference. If the Prozac suits you, it should get better soon.

When I took anti-depressants for a brief time, they sapped my energy as well.

Some other recommendations for dealing with "the blues"...

Make sure you get outside some. Expose yourself to sunlight daily.

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Exercise in whatever way you can (I realize you have health problems that may make it difficult).

Force yourself to socialize and stay busy. It likely counters what you feel like doing, but it will help combat depression.

That stuff sounds simple...silly, even...but it will help.

Hang in there!

I do, i try to walk at least 3 miles each day, plus what ever else.... I also have a stationary bike.... both have been helping me lose weight, gone from 288 to 238 (last i checked), my goal is 188-ish

Oh yeah, my new name is 'busy bee' .... got things planned on saturday *and* sunday....then near the end of this month, or the first week of november, i will be gone for a week, or so, plan on bringing back photos...thats if i remember to take the camera....

Hang in there!
