No, your brain is tricked into thinking it can only work right with the meds. Trust me, it's NOT working right with the meds! The only way to get it working right again is to....yeah you guessed it. The shrink is going to tell you the same thing. I would second guess this shrink's credibility if he/she actually does prescribe you more drugs.

If you really, really do feel that way, try tapering yourself off of everything you take. Continue doing what you do normally, but simply take a smaller and smaller dosage every single day until you are close to none at all, and when the time is right, you will know that you can simply just stop taking all this crap.

Please convince yourself this is not true.

i feel depressed and anxious

I started to become very anxious and depressed after I began using drugs later in life. I noticed that I have had these emotions my whole life, but after drugs, they are much more apparent. I'm more 'aware' to the feelings of anxiety and depression, if you will. One thing I notice is literally a direct ratio of the amount of anxiety I feel to the amount of drugs I do. i start taking less drugs, I get less anxiety and I actually start to build a VERY enjoyable natural euphoria that is beyond placebo. You can simply feel your brain taking a breath of fresh air, clearing itself of all these poisons you've been putting in it for how long now?

Give it a try. If your shrink seriously prescribes you more medication, I'd find a new shrink and/or check into a rehabilitation clinic. You obviously have a drug problem and you need to learn how to live without them!! Taking more will only worsen then problem.
 
I just re-read and didn't really pay this much mind the first time. Are you a girl? I assume so seeing as you refer to your friend as a "guy friend". You don't remember anything, he says all you did was scream "don't touch me" and you woke up half naked?? 8o

Is anyone else catching this?
yes i am a girl and i also remember that ont hat trip i didnt recognize that guy friendi passed out who knows what he did to me that day i took SJW alcohol and some marijuana

however idk how to manage the insomnia and add..these are hard to cope even when im cleani cant concentrate or sleep right let alone eat right or excercise naturally i cannot even socialize
 
You haven't been clean long enough to get your system back to normal.

Of course you won't feel right with nothing in your system for a while. It takes quite a while for your body to flush out all the crap you have had.

I am seriously concerned for you. Please take their advice and just try to cope without pharms or hard drugs. If you need to relax just stick to weed or maybe some benzos to calm yourself but stay away from the other crap for at least a week or two.

Go see a psych and tell him exactly what you have had and how you feel.

If you need someone to talk to feel free to email or PM me. I have been through years of this.

You will be all right if you work through this properly.
 
Did you recently take st. Johns wort before you took the Prozac? St. John's wort is an MAOI and Prozac is an SSRI which can cause serious interactions which may be responsible for your experience. Aside from that I would recommend seeing a shrink who will prescribe you an SSRI, or MAOI, or TRI or something else which will significantly help your anxiety and depression. I think that if you continue to self medicate you are likely to become dependant, depressed, more compulsive, and more anxious, and possible hurt yourself, however, I think that medication can be very helpful in correcting something that is likely the result of an easily correctible chemical balance.

You have had your appointment by now gaga. How are you feeling? I think the main thing with psych drugs is to try to add or discontinue only one agent at a time, keep the Doc informed as to everything you are taking, and keep track of benefits and side effects while not getting overly worried about the process. That is kind of a tall order, but adjusting meds takes time and being haphazard or overly concerned can both sort of mess with the process.

Relax and give each Dr prescribed agent a bit of time for you to consider its effects. Try to eliminate all the stuff that will be confounding as far as figuring out what is benefiting you.
