I've tried to do some research, since I've been on Prozac, and there is SO much conflicting information. How the heck do I know what is true?
People say, getting off Prozac can be really hard, it is very dangerous to try to get off it yourself, it should be a long weaning-off process. My doctor says, "Eh, you can just stop taking it cold turkey. Most people don't notice a difference."
People say, Prozac slows down your metabolism, and though short-term testing did not indicate weight gain, over the long term, weight gain is very likely. My doctor gives me a weird look and says, "Have you been watching your weight?"
People say they sleep their life away on Prozac. My doctor says, "Well, just take it at night then."
If this has been an extremely popular drug for 20 years or something, how come there aren't rock solid facts?
All I know is, I'm on the road to a Prozac-free life now, and I'm gonna be AWAKE, SKINNY, HORNY, and STILL HAPPY.
Speaking of skinny, I'm trying to count my calories. They say that a sedentary lifestyle (desk job) like mine uses about 1,630 calories a day. I'm trying to keep it at that limit, and add on exercise. Summer is coming, with a beach trip.
Here is my confession. I'm a normally thin person. 5'6 with a normal weight of 115-120. I got on the scale at the doctor yesterday and my weight is 139.8. What. the. heck. This is my absolute heaviest and largest I've ever been. I know you're probably saying "oh wow poor you, 139 pounds." But it's all relative. When I'm 20 pounds heavier than I'm used to, and my clothes don't fit, and I look in the mirror and see a different body, it's still just as bad. It's hard to deal with. WHY DO I CARE ANYWAY?
Honestly, sometimes I wish I was young and depressed enough to be anorexic. I was great at it in high school, barely eating and getting down to 108 pounds.
How can I fix this? Where's my self control? AAAHHHH. Typical girl blog.
