Hello,
Prozac, i started it, and it worked after about 6-7 weeks. But it was worth the wait, because it did change the mind set out of what it was in.
But, i've taken it now for 2-3 years, i've heard in the past it's good for anxiety, and OCD. It doesnt work, with anxiety all with me.
First...Prozac is "the first" SSRI, correct me if i'm wrong, released 1987? It's effects are....not noticable, but you notice more of "life" feeling.
It also is stimulating in it's own way. It's not like Zoloft or Lexepro which are antidepressants, that are "anxiety, depression". Prozac i believe works, on 5htp2 receptors, serotonin, and to an extent Norepheniphrine, attention nuerotrasmitter. I also read Prozac, increases the effects of Psychostimulants, but i dont really notice that. The only notice, is "boosts" what ever stimulant (d-amphetamine), they both activate. But it doesnt "increase" really it's effects.
Also at 80mg.....would that make serotonin saturated, since it's at high dose.
Because, Serotonin and Dopamine together, if one is higher than the other, it's hard to describe. But equal serotonin and dopamine levels, do they cancel out, eachother.
One more note, just people "oursevles" have personalities, motivated "get it done" "success!" that more metaphorically saying that person has natrually higher dopamine levels. Some people are laid back...GABA nuerotransmitters, high levels. And serotonin, but serotonin has so many effects, it's hard to describe what the charasteric's of how it manifests it'self in behavior (living)
But, back to the point? I know there is information back all the from 2000-1999 on Psychobabble, looked up on search bar.
But any "indepth" thoughts about prozac. And also it's side effect's at night "eye dialition". It's embararassing! i have look down when talking because Fluoxtine causes this side effect. And, you talk about major dialation, people have asked me...are you ok? take something?
Yes- i take Prozac.inputs?
