Depression/anti depressants
Hi I recently started on Prozac about 9 days ago and I feel like it’s making me worse . Has anyone experienced this with antidepressants? People say it’s normal to feel worse before better but I am getting discouraged. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and people don’t understand how hard it is . They are just like get up and do the day . Like I can’t I can barely do the simplest things I am struggling really bad . Idk what to do anymore

It can take time to work as any new medications do.
The day can seem too much!
But even getting through it after grief can take all of your energy.
And that's ok.
Don't let anyone trivialize your feelings.
💚

Thank you . I’m just wondering if it’s normal to feel worse before you feel better . Everyone is trying to push me to do this and that and I have no energy or motivation to do even the simplest things seem like the hardest thing in the world

You can't be pushed.
Or forced.
You need to want to do it's but they are probably doing it from the best of intentions 💚
Yes this is normal, most antidepressants work after 2 weeks and it definitely can make you feel worse before better

@kawasakiKRT400rr I hope it has gotten better! If not, may I suggest you and your doc look into something like Lexapro and Buspirone? My primary prescribes it for anxiety and depression. Keep swimming even if it seems like you aren’t moving!
