Update

Clearly I have been really bad about up dating my blog. It has been probably two or three weeks since I did a legit assessment on how the Prozac has been doing. It is selfish since I received so much help from random strangers when taking the Lexapro and I apologize.

The prozac is a much better SSRI for me. Though I am gruggy when I first wake up, more the majority of the day I have more energy. I am able to stay focused at work and I feel altogether more comfortable. I have began running again every other day, though I have still yet to go to the gym. I have been able to drink alcohol, and this last weekend was the first time I was able to drink a normal amount of beer without throwing up. My caffeine in take is still really low, and I still have not been able to drink coffee.

Two and a half months after starting SSRIs I am starting to feel more like my self. I am not 100% there yet, but I am getting there. My Diet has not changed, but I have increase my cardio exercise which may help. My doctors say that exercise will make it easier to get off the drunk and lower my dependancy on them. Also, I have seen a Pyscologist every week, and just talking with someone has helped. Its expensive, and I am going to start see her every other week and eventually only when needed. I think the combination of seeing her, the prozac, the exercise, and enjoying what I am doing at work more, have all contributed to me feeling better.

I appologize again for the lack of communication on this blog. I disappeared without even saying if I was done with it or not. I check my email / reply to emails daily, but I was just too lazy to take care of this which is probably more important. I am going to updathe this weekly, because I do not see a point in giving my daily updates if nothing is changing. If something suddenly happens, of course I will share it.

Thanks again and I will try to remain more faithful.

  2. Its clear you are doing well with prozac at this point, as when people stop log blogging on these issues, it can indicate they are regaining interest in the outside world, I am pleased you feel more yourself, this is all good :) Keep going :)
