I was actually standing in the bathroom this morning, wandering for the nth time if this was a good idea, have I put too much of myself out there, should I pull the plug at some point, this blog pulls me out of my comfort zone sometimes,totally alien to my upbringing.....come down and there is your comment on my blackberry LOL and yes I wish I'd stumbled on this blog myself a few years ago. <br /><br />Definately don't go cold turkey,and I think you're feelings WILL come back, but the beauty of tapering slowly is that it allows you time to get used to the "real You" unnumbed emerging from the Prozac, if you want to e mail me to chat in private (quite a few people do)beautifulsouth7@yahoo.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194667117038393013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522847456263533872.post-88677748506969513542012-01-02T22:24:26.023+00:002012-01-02T22:24:26.023+00:00Just spent the last few hours reading your blog fr...Just spent the last few hours reading your blog from day 1.I am so glad I came across it.<br /><br />Many of your feelings, struggles and achievements ring so true with me.<br /><br />I was on Prozac twice before (2005 and 2007) but only for a couple of months each - I didn't really want to take them and felt I was giving in.<br /><br />In Feb 2011 I felt I needed to give Prozac a proper try so I've been on 20mg/day since then. To be honest I think they have just numbed my feelings - both happy ones and sad ones.<br /><br />I decided today to try and get off the Prozac and approach life using all the skills I have learned and the new found self-knowledge I have achieved over the past few years.<br /><br />Was going to either go cold turkey or drop to 10mg for a week then 5mg for a week but realised this is maybe not the best way.<br /><br />After reading a lot on the net today and your blog I have decided to take it more slowly. My trouble is I'm impatient!<br /><br /><br />Spent a good few years feeling 'flat' and like you have tried all sorts including meditation, exercise, diet, St Johns Wort, counselling, CBT, self esteem boosting etc. I just want to feel 'normal'.<br /><br />Feeling a bit scared now that I won't ever be able to feel 'normal' and get rid of the negative thoughts that are there when I wake up and usually stay with me. I'll have a damn good try though:-)<br /><br />It all starts tomorrow - fingers crossed!<br /><br />Good luck with all your hopes and dreams for 2012. I am sure you will achieve them.<br /><br />PaulPaulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522847456263533872.post-88092008641654833542011-12-31T21:50:11.549+00:002011-12-31T21:50:11.549+00:00Thanks you two!Thanks you two!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194667117038393013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522847456263533872.post-25730301615741563062011-12-31T18:01:27.248+00:002011-12-31T18:01:27.248+00:00good luck with all your wishes and I hope that 201...good luck with all your wishes and I hope that 2012 is an amazing year for you xSarahmumof3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03928332640674423684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522847456263533872.post-45132380704431694252011-12-31T16:26:27.179+00:002011-12-31T16:26:27.179+00:00Hi have a great new year.
