Failed :(

[Worrybucket]

I;m not sure if ive failed but i have had to go back to my original dosage of Prozac i started with 2 yrs ago.

I was doing ok then we stupidly bought a puppy, who is a nightmare, and has totally turned our lives upside down,mostly mine as my kid who begged for her for 3 yrs is happy now 2 mths down the line to play with her and thats it, so guess who gets all the work????

It has come at a time when my kid who is 12 has become really hormonal and very hard work, the school work has slipped too,

I just feel totally overwhelmed again and my shortness of breath episodes are creeping back and im finding im having them almost every day again. Im pretty sure its stress as ive had every test done under the sun, all been ok.

Today my Doc put me back on 20mg a day Prozac (i went down to 20mg every other day) but i think i need to get through this with help again.

So i feel a bit of a failure really (just thought i'd share)

I'm so sorry to hear your story. But I believe your doctor is on the right track. You need that extra bit of help to get you through this tough time. It will only be for a little while and then I am sure you can cut back again. Many of us, including me, have gone through this.... decreasing our dosages (under medical supervision) only to have to bring them back up at some point later on. Good luck and you'll be just fine. And, you're not a failure, you are just going through a rough patch, things will get better!

oh im so fed up today. Ive been feeling really short of breath for most part of the day today.

Ive taken a valium which has taken the edge off a bit, but im still feeling like i need to take deep breaths all the time. It exhaustes me and upsets me. Will i ever get over this? its been this bad for about 2 years now, im back up to my original dose of Prozac 20mg a day. Hopefully it will work for me I just want to be like other people who take n notice of the air that they breath, its just not fair.
