Depression and Anxiety Thread

[Pepperoncini]

I’ve got to say, Wellbutrin in the morning of around 150mg and Prozac 50mg in the evenings has been a great blend for my anxiety and depression. I’m glad I found a psychiatrist on Talkspace and glad I gave it a try. I have found that Wellbutrin has helped me with focus as well.

Prozac 50mg in the evenings

That’s a huge dose! I’ve taken 20mg daily for 20 odd years. That much would mess with my subconscious big time. Watch out for Prozac dreams, that can really send you over the edge when you can’t tell where dreams end (nightmares, really) and reality begins.

Wow, that's a huge dose indeed.

I started on 20 but we moved to 40 and then 50mg. I haven’t had any side effects where I feel like it’s been awful so I’m happy there.

Was that necessary, @Chris30? W3H5 already said the exact same thing right above you.

Frankly, I don't think it is at all appropriate to be passing comment on what a medical professional has prescribed to an individual. It really doesn't matter what you think, and making comments like this could easily make someone feel bad or anxious about what they are taking, which is not the smartest thing to do when talking about anxiety medication!

In any case, it is not a huge dose at all - it is not even the maximum recommended daily dose here in the UK, so it's really a pointless remark.
