Lately I've just been feeling really depressed and indifferent about a lot of things in life. I'm on Prozac for depression and anxiety attacks and I don't think it's working anymore but I really don't want to increase my dose. I've been exercising a lot and eating healthy along with just going for walks in the woods near me. Being near nature makes me feel good temporarily but about 2 hours later I'm back where I started. I feel bad because my fiance doesn't know what to do to help me and I hate making him feel like that, so now I've just started masking my emotions when I'm around him. The thing that frustrates me is that I have no reason to depressed, I'm engaged, we just bought a house together and we've been working on that to keep us busy. I usually get into these slumps but this one is different, every now and then I'm having a suicidal thoughts. I would never follow through with them but it just disturbs me that those thoughts are entering my mind at all. Does anybody feel the same way or have any suggestions that have helped them?
I was exactly the same a few months ago, but with valium. Decided to come off it instead of carrying on increasing the dose. I started off taking 10mg/day & it got too the point where i was on 50+. Dunno what helped.. life just sort of peaced itself together in the end. Getting a job helped me a lot - stopped me thinking too much about things. Just give it time
I was on Prozac ... it worked to an extent but had bad side effects. B-vitamins (high dose complex,) rhodiola rosea and 5-HTP are working for me now and have no side effects.
