I started taking Prozac a little over three weeks ago. I'm starting to feel better over all, but have noticed that I have very bizarre dreams lately, whereas before I almost never dreamed. I've also been having nightmares, which I haven't had since I was ten. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced strange dreams on Prozac, and if so, how did you deal with them?
Yes...very vivid dreams mostly not so pleasant. Dr changed my meds
I've been on Fluoxetine for 3 years (in conjunction with Wellbutrin for about a year and a half), and it's worked well for me. I was depressed to the point of daily, frequent suicidal thoughts, and over time the meds I've taken have helped me reach a point where I rarely have a suicidal thought, ever.
However, now that I'm feeling emotionally better, the sexual side effects (in addition to others) of Fluoxetine have been wearing on me, and I've been thinking about switching to another… read more
I found that you need the combo. I take paxil and Wellbutrin and I thought I could get of paxil and just take the Wellbutrin. That was a mistake. It didn't take long before I started feel sad and… read more
I am bipolar. Bipolar 1 is when you have more hypomanic or manic episodes and bipolar 2 is when you have more depressive episodes
I was wondering if there's much difference between major depression disorder and bipolar 2 disorder? It seems when I see a new psychiatrist it gets changed.
Thanks for the help.
My diagnosis from the mid 1990s changed from schizoaffective disorder to bipolar disorder about five years ago. Also read some where that there is some flavor of bipolar with a schizoaffective… read more
I'm bipolar and have depression issues. I seem to bounce back and forth frequently. I have times my sex drive is so high, that's all I want to do. I do self medicate with marijuana which increases my sexual desires but it's even high without it. Not just regular sex either, risky sex with pretty much strangers. Is this just me or my condition?
Yes I was manic during meeting last two boyfriends. I made magic
I've never had a 6 day panic attack... I have major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, manic depressive, and blah blah blah blah... 🤐😠
😵 But this has never happened.....
When I was a kid, my attacks were so bad I'd pass out (my mom thought I was just taking a nap when shed see me, until I got a lot older). Now, I do certain things to prevent them including meds and… read more
I’m very manic and would to act like a normal person
Love that response Patsy!!!
@A MyDepressionTeam Member Yeah I was never "allowed" to have time between hospitalizations and going back to work. But that was a long time ago. Do you like your job? It's hard for me to recall what… read more
For those of you who were initially diagnosed with "unipolar" or just Major depressive disorder and were later diagnosed with bipolar disorder, what were some of the main signs that you noticed that indicated you might have manic symptoms as well?
Or what made you/others realize that your "normal" state was actually a manic state?
I used to talk a mile a minute and I’d have severe mood swings; since I’m medicated I don’t have any manic episodes
For example, I'm down 6 days out of 7 then happy one of the seven.
I don't have depressed episodes , I have happy episodes
No. I’d love a day of happiness!
