ilovedemhotrides Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 So after a 6 year relationship is over it leaves you knocked on your butt..... For being the first person to kiss to everything else, it's just hard losing your best friend. I am here to say that I am feeling better about the break up/ situation. So for 5 months I was a wreck. Completely unmotived, always throwing up, getting headaches etc..... I decided that this was not normal, so I scheduled an appt with the doctor, and sure enough I got prescribed prozac. I have been on it for only 5 days so far, but it is working great. something is... I know it usually takes around 2 weeks to kick in, but I respond to medicine very very quick. Either way it has already been helping me so much. I was constantly checking my phone/ her facebook etc... And now it's like completely gone. I don't feel the urge to text, or stalk. It's so dramatic. I don't think about her and get a sick feeling. I am not throwing up every morning. Everything is just better. I am against going to the doctors and getting medicine to make a problem fixed, but after months of barely any progress this is really starting to work. Not only am I finally moving on, but I am just happier than I have been in a long time! I no longer get anxious about things either. It's awesome. So if you guys are suffering and it's really starting to effect your school work etc. than you should talk to your doc about prozac or another SSRI because it's seriously doing me so much good. I know this also might get me back together with my X one day because it's helping me with no contact and me being uninterested in her. 2
deponie12 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Good for you!!!! I got on Wellbutrin last month and it's been a life saver. My world crashed down on me ( cheating *******) and I thought I would never survive. Meds and no contact is the ticket right now-- oh, and I see a therapist twice a month... see how screwed up the break up was for me? But happy days are around the corner, soon they will be a distant memory. 1
Froelich87 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 That's great! I do think that this depends. If you are using the meds because you need them. It's great! Or if this is happening b/c you're trying to fill a void. Not so much. You don't want to have one last problem to kick after all of this. And trust me when I say, prescription pills are a tough one to kick. I've been there for a long time and I'm 3 months clean after 2 years of Vicodin and Xanax
me85 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) This is exactly where I am. 4 months of being apart from my ex & it being officially over for the past 3 weeks... Down-ward spiral every since. More so in the last week though. I haven't eaten for 3 days now. When I do eat, I get sick. I'm having crazy dreams, trouble sleeping most nights (unless I'm so weak from not eating that all I can do is just sleep due to malnutrition-which then lead to headaches) I'm not at all motivated...I feel like I'm in a constant haze and just really hopeless feeling. Definite roller coaster ride at times. ZERO ENERGY. I can't stop obsessing over my ex or contacting him even though he has politely asked me to give him time and space. I mean, he can easily just block me on his iphone but he hasn't. We just text, he never calls...(unless he's drunk) but still he could just block me if he was really annoyed. He never asked for me to come pick up anything of mine from his place or asked for anything of his back (such as his housekey)... and now he has offered to help me with what I'm going through. He is turning to his mother & asking her if she will help me, which is a HUGE deal because they are extremely close. So I KNOW he really cares for me & loves me deeply. I feel that I need medication too at this point because I've been trying to cope on my own but it's just not working. I'm doing this mess to myself and it's obviously due to a chemical imbalance in my brain. So... Prozac, here I come! Edited November 19, 2013 by me85
Omei Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Just be safe! If it was prescribed good =] I have been on anti depressants for 2 years and I actually stopped taking them when my ex broke my heart I found that I was even more tired and depressed on them.
Grumpybutfun Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Those first loves are hard to forget, but you do eventually. Good for you for being proactive. It sounds like you had no choice as you were making yourself sick and stressing yourself out. Chin up, Grumps

One of the side effects is emotion numbness, but I have found that I sort of " fell out of love " with my X, and just doesn't faze me as much as it used it.. i don't think about her much, and when I do my heart doesn't race. i don't get anxious anymore. If you wanna run anything by me just shoot me a PM . since we are going through a similar situation. Again this was my last resort, as it was really hurting my life/ social life/ and school.
