It has been 2 1/2 weeks since I have been on Prozac. A week ago I was a complete wreck. I had a panic attack, couldn't stop crying, wanted to just die. I felt as if I didn't deserve my wife that I cheated on. I didn't feel worthy of anything. All I could think about was getting my wife back.<P>Today I find myself just fine. I feel in control of the situation. I feel like I have accepted the pending divorce and want to move on. I KNOW that I still love my wife incredibly much - I just feel like I have to stop being miserable. I am sick of beating myself up. I am sick of hating myself. I have no idea what to do. I have even stopped lurking and posting on this site. Don't get me wrong, I would run back to my wife if she asked me back, but I don't feel I can beg any longer.<P>Am I nuts, or is this just the Prozac (and XANAX) kicking in?<P>rhooks4<P><p>[This message has been edited by rhooks4 (edited August 24, 1999).]

well, that's why you're taking it, right? to get a handle on the situation. it doesn't matter how you get there, as long as you get there. just dont do any self experimentation and take yourself off it cuz you're in a good mood now. i do that all the time, and the results are disastrous.<BR>i really hope this UP period lasts for you. i think it will be more attractive to your wife than being down.<BR>keep it up, you're doing great <P>------------------<BR>for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, till death do us part.<P><BR>

Anti-deps will not remove the pain & hurt. They will keep you from feeling so down and out and allow you to function more normally.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html</A>

i started taking prozac about 2 years ago. it changed me 100% for the better. it was truely a miracle. i have so much confidence. now i know how all the normal people feel. life is a bxtch and it's even worse when you suffer from depression. now i find that life isn't a bxxch, it's unfair and bad things happen but it's just not as bad.

I've been on Celexa since January. It's helped me so very much. I plan on staying on it until I've reached the 1 year mark of NO CONTACT with the [censored] .... I mean OM.<P>I can't imagine the shape I would have been in if I had not been on medication during this time period.<P>I'm glad you've found that it pulled you out of the severe depression and you're able to function again. It's definitely working!
