Depression

I am taking prozac now because I have severe depression and other things that I can't not post on here. It really scared me to death when i took the risperdal medication. I almost died because of severe allergic reaction. I'm glad that I don't take that anymore. The ER doctor and nurse saved my life and as a christian God saved my life too. It took me 2 weeks to recover. On my emergency contact list I put down all the medicaiton that I'm allergic to. So far, I don't notice any side effect from prozac.

Hopefully you are talking to a professional too.  That helps too.  When you talk to a professional therapist and not just take the medication, it helps so much because they can give you insight and different "assignments" or tips and tricks to help you in your personal life.  Then they can decide if you still need to be on medication long term or not.

I take risperdal now and i am a little scared of taking them since i am also on so many medications for depression and alot of other things. i am very happy to hear that they did something for you and you are doing ok. sometimes we don't even know what we are allergic to until something happens.I will br praying for you

how are you doing with your depression? i have decided as of last night to stop taking my medications the only one is the one for the diabetis 2,high blood pressure and allergy i take now. i am so tired of the different side affects and reactions to all these pills i was taking and i am not advicing anyone to stop taking their meds i made a personal decision. i feel i can battle this and take care of it by prayer and possitive thinking. i want to mainly concentrate on my weight once i start dropping the weight everything else will come together and since my depression is mainly because i am over weight.
