Prozac = Heaven <3

[Anzel]

^^;

As the title says, Prozac is working for me. I take 10 mg/day of the generic brand of Prozac, fluoxetine. Though unfortunately it has given me the side effect of a SHOT libido, I can get past that with enough determination.

My anxiety is gone. Literally gone. ALL. GONE. It's freaking stunning...and...just...wow. The feeling in my chest is no more. It's gone. The pain, the angst, and burning and simmering that bit at my sternal cortex (as i've thusly named it) is GONE. The only feeling I get there now is warm fuzzies, and phantom simmers. As in, when I think about the feeling that used to be there and get a phantom feeling of it.

Kinda like if you've been bitten by fleas all the time and you start to think you're being bitten when you're not. x3;; Or...umm...*thinks* I dunno. I may just need to up my dose of Prozac x3;; Note to self: Don't think about anxiety, it makes the angst come a little.

My migraines are much less common now. Especially since my insomnia has passed. My eyes don't always ache. Still, occasionally, I look up at the sky and my eyes suddenly pulse with a sting from the light, but not often. It's amazing. Yes, I get phantom migraines occasionally, too x3;;

My depression isn't 100% gone, but it's lifted. I'm pmsing right now and my mood is fragile, but the mood swings don't last as long, and aren't as heartbreakingly painful. Which is very pleasant...I can deal with them like a rational human being...which is...wow...

A month ago, I was a whole different person. And now...now I'm...this.

I have a new boyfriend, his name is Dean and he's very sweet <3 Alas, it's an online relationship, AGAIN, but oh well x3;; He's really nice, and understanding, and very charming. My ex is only a faint memory now. My new boyfriend is wonderful...and I love him very much <3

I used to talk to him back before the meds, but never really wanted to, because of them. Now I can finally talk to him, and I don't feel angry with him, or anxious, or anything. I get a few mood swings here and there, but they're managable...

*sighs*...

Life...is going good.

<3...
