I've been off Prozac for 9 days now. I was hesitant to post about it, since I didn't know how I'd do. I watched closely, especially come Wednesday when I knew it was out of my system (based on dose and half-life), to see how I was doing.
I've found that you CAN watch yourself TOO closely.
I have to remember that I'm ALLOWED to have emotions. I'm allowed to be frustrated, angry, and sad, so long as it's within reason, and balanced with happiness, love and laughter.
I'm guessing I needed the meds like I could have used electroshock therapy. But I'm still watching myself.

Congratulations!
I had PPD with my first and it went undiagnosed until I was coming out of the fog and realized I'd been in it (when my daughter was about 18 months old). I was worried about going through it again this time, but, so far, so good. I've definitely had some hormonal emotional moments, but the feeling of being so overwhelmed I can't deal with life hasn't returned, thank God. I'm glad you recognized your own symptoms and were able to get treated right away--and I'm glad you're doing well without the drugs, now! |
