Cheers, think it'll be a few months yet. Though I have been making improvements and I'm glad I started again after Sertraline put me off medication.

fluoxetine

I’m fairly sure it’s just placebo. I quit taking it.

My bad. I think it might be placebo and is for some people.

Doctor's know a lot of medical sh*t, but they sometimes get things wrong. I always ask about contraindications with other meds and what bad side effects or first dose responses that might occur.

That’s smart

I just shouldn’t have said such a sweeping thing about Prozac

Frowny told me to take Prozac for my acid reflux the other day. Maybe we shouldn't play doctor.

Didn't notice anything at all. So I feel less nervous about coming off them now. I'm not coming off them soon, just saying when I do I'm not as worried.

i occasionally forget to take my bupropion but i've only had one negative experience because of it. it was almost a year ago now but i had only been taking it for maybe a month or two and then went 2 days without while in university and ended up having a panic attack in the middle of class that led to me sprinting to the closest doctor after convincing myself i was having a heart attack.

it's funny to think back on but at the time it was absolutely terrifying

~~Cuthbert~~ · 11-11-2018, 12:05 PM

Had the heart attack thing as well lmao. I went to A&E and had an ECG on my heart, the nurse was like "You're 22, calm down. It's not going to be a heart attack at 22." Posted about it in the old MH thread.

And yes it's terrifying.
