Prozac (well, the generic fluoxetine) has worked really well for me, Tep. Fingers crossed. Fwiw, on it I was tired initially, but that eased off.
And we live to fight another day.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I remember that Lexapro made me sleepy, but I just worked with that by taking it at bedtime. So if that happens with Prozac, maybe I can do the same thing.

I got the curtains put up. They look pretty good, actually -- I made them for my bedroom at my old apartment in Pennsylvania, but they fit the windows here just about perfectly. Maybe an inch or two too long, but since my bed is in front of one window, and a table is in front of the other, you don't really notice it.

My pharmacist advised me to take my Prozac at night in case it made me sleepy. I haven't noticed that it does, but I take it at night. I have noticed it does me a lot of good with no obvious side effects. Fingers crossed for you, Tep.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good luck, Steph!

Cary Elwes canceled and won't be at the Cinci Comic Expo. Boo. I was really looking forward to meeting him.

I took my first dose of Prozac this morning. And -- I hate to even say this -- but I think I'm getting itchy already. Maybe I'm being paranoid. I hope I'm being paranoid.
But I don't think I am. And I just wanted to say it somewhere.
If this is really an allergic reaction, I'm feeling a lot of despair. Like there are no options for me and I'm going to have to feel like this forever. God damn it.

Fucking itching, that's why I couldn't take Lexapro. I didn't have that with Prozac as I recall - maybe maybe it's psychosomatic and it'll go away, Steph? Don't give up! That's the Mean Black Dog talking, try not to listen to him, okay?

I guess I could try Effexor, but I feel like I'm running out of options.

My doctor prescribed 20 mg in tablets, rather than capsules, so I could break them in half and see how 10 mg does. But I am so damn desperate.
