back,
I went to a mental health clinic and the psychiatrist gave me 10mg prozac per my request and vistaril since they don't give out benzos....but now I'm wondering if I made a big mistake by taking the prozac today.
It does seem true that ADs tend to become less effective each time they are stopped and restarted, but that doesn't necessarily mean fluoxetine won't work for you this time. However, the side-effects may be different this time and you may need to take a higher dose to get the same results.
My right eye is burning, my right ear is hurting, and the acid reflux is in full swing. I'm scared it's not going to work and I've done too much damage to my brain. Please help.
Burning eyes and painful ears are not typical SSRI side-effects, however, an increase in anxiety at the beginning can be and maybe these symptoms owe more to this. What damage do you think has been done to your brain?
