I Smiled and Laughed This Morning!

Whew! Finally, no more stumbling around every 5 steps, no feeling tired all day long! I woke up and smiled and laughed this morning getting my girls out of bed, it was not an annoyance. It always used to be this way, it makes me so happy, I keep getting weepy over it. It was only a week of super-hell on Trazodone but I'm so happy I feel better, I'm crying.


Now, I still am very weepy off and on just for no reason. The Prozac my therapist prescribed should help with that, which he says is actual depression. I took my first 20mg dose this morning along with 30mg of klonopin (an anti-anxiety medication) and then tonight, I'll take 900mgs of lithium and 30mgs of klonopin.  My therapist thinks the Trazodone worked so well before because I wasn't on lithium with it. The two together are very sedating so the Trazodone didn't work well as it was intended (to be an antidepressant).  Thankfully he steered away (due to my hesitance) from Lexapro, a wonderful drug that I feel wonderful on, but only at high levels (30mgs) and swings me into a manic phase.


YAY! To feeling happy! I hope the Prozac is the trick that balances me out but for now, I'm just enjoying the effects of Trazodone wearing off.

So.......just for fun, a little bit of my humorous side! (after the jump)

  1. My aunt is a psychiatrist and also has suffered from depression and anorexia. She told me one time that Prozac saved her life - made flowers smell better, food taste better, etc. I'm so glad you're finally feeling better!

  2. Thank you! I'm hoping when it kicks in, it really does a great job! It's frustrating to cycle through med after med.

    (((love)) you!
