Prozac, day 2
Posted by Gypsy on Jun 23, 2006
Before I start this post, I just want to say thank you to those of you who were so supportive in the comments of my previous post. It’s been a rough few months but I’m finally getting close to that light at the end of the tunnel. It’s nice to know there are people out there who are looking out for me and care about how I’m doing. I wish everyone could be so wonderful, but life doesn’t always work out that way.
Today is my second day on the Prozac and while I know it hasn’t started to kick in yet (it takes a week to three weeks to build up in your system), I’m already started to feel better because I’m taking the steps necessary to pull me out of my funk. Unfortunately, there are some side effects to the medications I’m on that are leaving me physically feeling a bit shitty.
Basically, I’m exhausted. I overslept by about 3 hours this morning just because I couldn’t find the energy to pull myself out of bed (and I didn’t even take the sleeping pill last night). I also spent most of the morning feeling like I was going to pass out and had a big problem waking up. Thanks to caffeine, I’m finally getting coherant, but it was touch and go for a bit there. I can only hope these side effects are temporary and will go away as I get more adjusted to the medication.
Those might also just be side effects from going out last night too.
Doubtful as I didn’t even have 2 drinks and was in bed just after midnight. I go to bed at midnight on a normal night.
Hey Christina…just a medical heads up for you…not being able to get out of bed is not good while on Prozac. You may want to talk to doctor again. You may need a different medication. I also had this side effect from Prozac a few years ago. It didn’t get better, only worse. It took me about a week to call my doctor. But she was able to put me on a different anti-depresant. Good luck.
Hey Sweetheart,
Yeah do watch the side effects from the Prozac. Another one is weight gain. It was the only major side effect I had when I was on it.
Maybe one way to help yourself with your divorce is to remember that you were the one that asked for a divorce in the first place. I can’t even completely agree that it has too much to do with trust issues but the fact that you two are just too diffrent. You both took a chance and it didn’t work.
Also, please quit telling Jeremy that you think I hate you now. I don’t hate you. I told you before, when I tell someone I love them I don’t do it lightly. I saw your divorce long before Jeremy went to Iraq.And try to remember with your divorce I’m losing a daughter, it hurts me too. I do love you and want nothing more than for both of you to be happy.
Well, I also said I’d wait until he came home to make a decision. Too bad he didn’t wait, too. Regardless, the papers have been filed and we’re both getting on with our lives. But while you lost a daughter, I’ve lost a whole family. And have learned that the person I planned to spend the rest of my life with is not the person I thought he was.
And I’m not too worried about weight gain. I’ve lost 25 pounds in the last 2 months. I’m sure I can afford to gain a few.
“Those might also just be side effects from going out last night too. ”
Again, we have another snide comment from a jealous man. Jeremy, I have not even met you and I can see what kind of person you are. You are jealous, bitter, and catty. Really, just the equivalent of a snotty high school girl who thinks she is better than someone else.
Sad, really.
There are so many things I would like to say to you, but I think calling you out on all this is really not the thing to do on a dear friend’s blog.
What I will say is this:
You are so pissed you fucked this relationship up. I can see and feel that from 3,000 miles away by reading your words.
If you truly knew this phenomenal woman, you would have never had the stupidity to let her go. But you do not know her. The most fucked up thing about it all is that she became this woman for you, and you are not worth that much.
I heard the arguements on the phone between you two, and the way you have treated her is just revolting. You are a revolting person who no one is ever going to want to be around. Well, you may be able to land a barracks rat or 2–until they realize you do not have the rank they wank (wonder why, huh?) and you are getting out of the only job you are actually qualtified to do.
Christina–you’ll begin to feel better. Please be careful though, I do not want this drug to hurt you. It can be great, and may be great for you, but make sure you know to keep your eye out for any side effects.
I’ll say it again–call me if you need me. I love you.
Yea so wank=want.
When I get pissed my typing skills fly out the window.
If the trouble getting up persists check with your doc. You feel better already because you know you are doing something that will help and its one less thing to worry about. I am proud of you for being proactive and not waiting to get on medicine!
Love you
“this truely phenomenal woman”
I have only known Christina since May, but already I cannot agree more with this statement Cori. Jeremy’s loss will one day be the gain of a very lucky man and someone who deserves to be with her. You are an amazing person Christina, never let anyone make you feel or believe differently.
Jeremy - I don’t know you but I too can see that your comments on this blog are those i’d expect from a person far below your age. You may be getting divorced, but from what I understand you are still suppossed to be her friend and if that is the case then get over yourself, grow up and start acting like it, otherwise just keep your remarks to yourself.
