it gets better…

about 2 months ago i switched back to prozac after being on lexapro for 2.5 years… I switched back because lexapro made me gain a lot of weight and sleep all day… anyways, the switching process was the worst month of my life. i seriously thought i was going to end up in the mental hospital. it was panic attacks / anxiety ALL day everyday for 3 weeks and they wouldn’t stop no matter what I did. The only relief was 1MG xanax but I don’t like to always take those… the worst part is i knew it was just anxiety but my brain couldn’t stop the anxiety no matter how hard i tried.

anyways, I truly thought i’d never get better. Im 22 years old and it was so bad I was staying the night at my parents house sleeping with my mom.. & i could barely drive anywhere.

here I am 2 months later and I feel so much better. Of course anxiety will always be a part of my life but i’m back to traveling and doing everything I used to do.

If you feel like when you start prozac it is the worst anxiety you’ve ever felt just know… it’ll get better…

i also wasn’t weened off of lexapro at all so that might be another factor.

anxiety sucks but we can overcome this!!
