I feel better knowing what the problem is....

Thanks, I think I am going to quit the medication. I actually feel like it is making me have almost near hallucination feelings and I am having disturbing dark thoughts that are unlike me as well that are very much on the depression side of the scale. I am not taking them too seriously but I thought anti depressants made you less depressed and not more.

I dont know if it is the medication but I have found that I am constantly talking in my mind as though I am speaking to another person. I dont know if thats an OCD sign or if its dissociation of some kind of an attempt at anxiety relief. The more I do it, my mind starts to play tricks on me and I begin to feel like someone else is there. I dont know if it is the prozac or if I am developing another OCD obsessive compulsive habit but it is very annoying. Can anyone relate to this type of feeling?

I can relate to this adaptive. Before abruptly discontinuing your medication please speak to your doctor as there are more medications than Prozac that can be used for what you are describing. Also, even though you have not been on your medication for very long you may experience some unpleasant effects by not stopping them properly, so make sure you get your doctor's help with doing that. No one will force you to take medication you don't want to take but just know that you may get relief with another kind.

I officially quit the medication. I know it was probably wrong to do it in this manner but it was making me crazier if thats even possible. I am exhausted from fighting and holding out hope that one day my brain would work differently. I see now the answers lies in accepting that this will never be the case, and coming to terms with the fact that I will always have one thought running through my brain and just trying to make the most of it and not respond to that and live my life as best I can regardless. To give up the fight so to speak. It is depressing me a little right now but I am moving closer to that concept, closer than I have ever been.
