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 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.
One of hte side effects of menopause is itching, too. I would like to remove my skin and wrap myself in bubble wrap till my hormones settle out.
Could you maybe power through with Benadryl and see if the effect decreases? Obviously it's not ideal, but it might be better than having to try yet another one.
Could you maybe power through with Benadryl and see if the effect decreases?
I think I'm going to cut the dose in half tomorrow and see what happens, and then if there is itching and it's mild (like, no rash or swelling), I'll take Benadryl and see if my damn body adjusts. This is so frustrating.
Cary Elwes canceled and won't be at the Cinci Comic Expo. Boo. I was really looking forward to meeting him.
Wonder if this is a thing with him. Two different events that I was looking forward to meeting him at, he ended up cancelling. If so, I'm very disappointed; he seems like the type who'd embrace Fandom (and his fans). Sorry you were disappointed, Hil.
Fingers still crossed for you and your brain, Steph.
Epic, how's your mom doing? And how are YOU doing?
I get a lot of side effects from ADs that go away after a week or so. I hope that is the case for you, Teppy. Vining hard that you find something that works fine you.
