prozac

I don't think that you needed to be put on prozac at all. Prozac was made to fix a chemical imbalance, not to stop you from mourning your losses. Mourning is natural and must be worked through, not covered up so that it can ruin the rest of your life. Anti-depressants should only be used as a last resort when multiple types of therapies do not work. If you don't mourn and work through things, you will never be able to move forward. It's important. Don't let docs just put you on meds without knowing what the medicine is TRULY used for.

Antidepressants can make people feel more depressed and change their personality. Each person's reaction to any medication is different. You were right to stop taking it. If you still feel you want help with depression, however, talk to your doctor. There are different kinds of antidepressants and you may be able to find one that will help instead of make you feel worse.

I also don't want to suffer from depression. I was on Prozac when I was a teenager and I felt great when taking it and I also felt great several weeks of not taking it, then the depression came back to me again. I don't feel that I should be dependent on a pill, I want to overcome it. Now I don't suffer from depression as much because I started doing healing sessions. I've been doing Reiki healing sessions on myself, as well as, other people. Most of the time, I feel refreshed, calm, relaxed, energized after the healing sessions. I'm glad that I found Reiki. Reiki is "universal life energy", just like the air we breathe. An attuned practitioner can channel Reiki to the recipient or "healee". Reiki is not religious, just only a positive loving healing energy. You don't need to understand Reiki for it to work, just experience it and accept the healing :-) Once the reiki energy enters the recipient's body, it starts healing the entire body on all levels- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It "heals" the root of any illnesses/diseases, to where the illness can even be eliminated. Whereas, medication only relieves the symptoms of the sickness. Reiki is only complementary healing therapy, in addition to traditional medical care. Healing is 50% of the healers job and 50% of the recipient's job. You can request FREE distant reiki healing at this website: http://www.the-dhn.com/ I used to volunteer at this website, sending distant reiki healings to people around the world who request healings. Distant healings transcends time and space and it's as effective and more convenient than a 1 on 1 physical healing session. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :-)

Hello, you know there are also natural ways to go about depression also. I know one is St. John's Wart but I never took it. I used to be on many depression pills and quit every single one. In MY Opinion, in the long run...they do more harm than good and especially the longer you have been on them. Don't feel bad though because that is how Prozac made me feel also. Have a great day and I hope life brings you lots of good things and love!
